Sue's Reviews > Graven Images: 3 Stories

Awesome! These three stories have one thing in common: how graven images of different types lead people to trust them with their secrets or their fate. Each one takes place in a different place and each has a completely different feel. The first is a mystery set in early nautical Maine and involves a wooden statue of a boy. The second is comical and shows how the copper weathervane of Saint Crispin helps a young shoemaker's apprentice in colonial South Carolina find love. The third is set in Renaissance Genoa and tells the story of an arrogant sculptor who meets a ghost with a commission. Such fascinating stories, well worthy of the Newbery Honor.
