Time For School

 

The Three-Berry Academy by Joseph Helgerson

Quiet Quickthorn, the teacher at the Three-Berry Academy, needs to get her river troll students to school. The problem is they don't want to go.  She has to catch them first.

This is a fun, quirky book.  Quickthorn has to trick her students into coming to school.  Each chapter is the story of a different student, told in the voice of the student.  I like how each chapter is told in a distinctive voice.  They all have the same concept but Helgerson manages to make them all individual stories.  I enjoyed reading about the river trolls and learning about their lives and what they treasure enough to get caught.  I think children and adults will like this one.

I received a free copy of this book for review from Librarything.com early reviewers.
