Part 2

The twins have to give oral book reports next week and they each need a visual aid. Here's what we came up with...

Kynna's book report is on a book called Gossamer.

The main characters are:

Littlest One: a young inexperienced fairy-like creature that bestows dreams on its human charges.

John: An angry abused foster child that comes to live at Littlest One's assigned home

The sinisteeds: Evil creatures that inflict nightmares on humans

Summary: Littlest One is learning how to bestow dreams on humans when her human takes John in. He's troubled and angry which allows him to be an easy target for the sinisteeds. Will the young inexperienced Littlest One be able to save him from the torment?

Visual Aid: Since Kynna's book didn't have illustrations, we doctored a photo of our Emma (using some editing software) to look like a scene described in the book. (The part she's going to read out loud during her report) In this passage, Littlest One's teacher is teaching her bestow a dream on a dog as her first lesson.



Kwynny's book is called The Tale of Despereaux.

Summary: A story about a human princess that is taken prisoner by rat king and his chubby female hench-woman. She's thrown in a dark dungeon deep in the castle and its up to her friend, a mouse called Despereaux to save her. Can a little mouse defeat the rat king and save his beloved Princess Pea?

Characters:
Princess Pea, Despereaux, Miggery Sow, and Roscero (the rat king).

Visual aid: A diorama of the four main characters in the dungeon. This was a joint effort of kynna, kwynny, pucca and I.
