Dwarf Story by W.W. Marplot
3.0
Dwarf Story by W.W. Marplot is a cute fantasy adventure for middle grade readers. It is aimed for ages 9-14 and very appropriately written. The language is captivating and simplistic to make it easily understood by younger readers.
In this story you follow a few characters as they take turns explaining what's going on. The story begins with Arty, a scientific and organized 13 year old, finding a dwarf and being completely confused. He starts off using books and notes to learn about the new things he is experiencing and start to unravel the reasons for them. As the story continues other friends are added in and tell you more.
The chapters are short and quick reads. There is action interspersed throughout the tale that could keep the more reluctant readers involved. Considering the age of the readers it's aimed at there is nice additions of explanation and introduction to fantasy elements and creatures to help with understanding. Honestly, the book was written well for the younger end of the age group. It might seem long for these younger readers possibly causing minor struggles. However, it could definitely appeal to kids who struggle with reading as they are older (12-14) seeing as it is longer and holds a more interesting plot than most books which are also aimed at fourth graders.
All in all this is a cute story, perfect for kids to start reading fantasy with.
