Why Should My Child Read This Book?
A notoriously difficult genre to get right, humor in the hands of Maryrose Wood is effortless. She combines laugh-out-loud, clean humor with a protagonist who embodies womanhood, courage, resilience in the face of grief, ingenuity in the face of problems, and responsibility despite numerous difficulties. Sprinkled through the enchanting story are fascinating facts about geography, Latin, classical literary works, science, and art. Her use of language is exceptional–similes, parables, and homonyms combine to bring the story to life. While the audio version is captivating, Mindful Muslim Reader recommends reading the book as the best way to appreciate the humor and the brilliant use of language.
Mindful Muslim Reader recommends Books 1-6 in this series.
How Can I Use This Book?
- Miss. Lumley steals the cabin boy’s diary from the imposter Judge Quinzy to foil his plans. Do her actions hinder him or help him?
- In the Islamic understanding, the end does not justify the means. We are not permitted to engage in sin even if we have good intentions. Discuss what we do when facing a difficult choice. We do our best, then put our trust in Allah ﷻ rather than resorting to sinful or unethical behavior.
