(3) 4-6 Working on a school project at a nursing home, an unhappy, perpetually frightened boy undergoes a credible, satisfying transformation. Seeking to unravel an elderly woman's confusing yet compelling memories of a tragic life, Robert finds inspiration in a legend she tells him. The transformative power of story is effectively conveyed in this suspenseful, emotionally involving novel about finding one's voice.
