The Green Book by Jill Paton Walsh, Lloyd Bloom
4.0
Interesting book and I can see why it is so popular in classrooms. Perfect intro to journaling, civilizations, inter-cultural (species) relations, priorities, literature... Lots.
It reads like a long short story. Nice vibes about the kids. Bitter words about classism and greed among the adults. Interesting how skills are valued based on what the society needs; they are not valuable in and of themselves, unlike writing, which is both!!
The story is cleverly constructed and I thought the ending was pretty much perfect.
