A review by radiojen
Charles by Shirley Jackson
5.0
My son had to read this book for school. I read it ages ago and had forgotten how good it was. I love Shirley Jackson. If you've never read the Lottery, that's a *great* story! In fact, I may have to download that one next for the Kindle.
Charles is a short story, and that makes it difficult to write much of a review without spoiling it for you. It's about a little boy who comes home every day from school with a story for his parents about Charles - a boy in his class who is quite a trouble maker. His parents enjoy hearing stories about what Charles has done every day, and can't wait for their little boy to come home and share with them each day what happened at school with Charles.
