The Silver Arrow by Lev Grossman
3.0
It’s kinda like taking Narnia and Polar Express and making a new novel.
The Silver Arrow is full of magic, subtle (and sometimes not to subtle) life lessons, and adventure. In my libraries I’ve categorized this book as ‘fantasy’ but I may be changing it to ‘adventure.’ There’s plenty of joy, thrills, and close-to-death situations. The imagery that Grossman has created is breathtaking. I also loved the illustrations throughout.
Read because it’s a 2022-2023 Nebraska Golden Sower Award Nominee. I recommend it for high-level 2nd grade students to 5th grade. Any higher than that and the content may be too ‘young’ feeling.
