It reminded me of things like Lloyd Alexander's work, also Tales from the Arabian Nights. While as a writer, I try to have the utmost respect for other cultures, I worry that we will be paralyzed into not telling any stories at all, for fear of "getting it wrong." Or that I'm only allowed to tell stories about girls who grew up in Southern California a few decades ago.

And yet, I felt like we should have it in our Cybils shortlist because it was the only one of its kind, and it was close to being that good...<br /><br />And for all of those kids who wouldn't touch Kipling with a ten-foot pole (apparently Old Books = Bad Books; I could hardly get my niece to read The Chronicles of Narnia until the movies came out. Of course), there's <i>Tiger Moon</i>. Maybe they'll be interesting in Kipling later BECAUSE of this book. Here's hoping.tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.com
