A Single Shard by Linda Sue Park

4.0

Great book for middle school kids. The author does a good job of linking you emotionally with the orphan Tree-ear and his needs and desires as a parent-less scavenger. Though there isn't a lot of action, the story never seems to lag because Tree-ear's situation is always in a tenuous position. I also enjoyed the amount of detail given in describing the pottery making process - it was enough to be interesting but not too much as to bore.
