sc104906 's review for:
The Mysterious Edge of the Heroic World
by E.L. Konigsburg
Amedeo wants to discover something. Other children across the world have gone down in history because they have discovered something, and Amedeo wants to join those ranks. After moving to a Florida town, and meeting his ex-opera singing neighbor, who is selling her estate and moving into a retirement community, Amedeo thinks he has found his chance. Issues of banned art during WWII come into play. Will Amedeo find what he is looking for?
This book was both interesting and outdated. I don't entirely know if children these days will connect to the stories, especially because I feel that the characters could be better developed. I found the historical plot points interesting. The book focused on issues that arose out of this time period that are less talked about.
