Graven Imagesby Paul Fleischman
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Graven Images presents three twisted tales of graven images - figurines that have a mysterious power over those who come in contact with them. In The Binnacle Boy, a ship returns to port with its entire crew inexplicably dead. The only witness to the tragedy is the ship's life-sized carving of a sailor boy. Can a wooden statue unmask the killer? In St. Crispin's Follower, set in Charleston, a weather vane defies the wind: when all others point east, this one, fashioned in the likeness of Saint Crispin, faces west. What will become of the love-struck lad who looks to it for guidance? In The Man of Influence, Zorelli, a sculptor who immortalizes the great in monuments of stone, is hired by a ghostly figure to create a statue in its likeness. What terrifying secrets will be revealed? These stories feature Paul Fleischman's trademark evocative prose and each one ends with a startling surprise. Synopsis:The recipient of a Newbery Honor, a Notable Children's Book Award, and a "School Library Journal" Best Book of the Year Award, "Graven Images" presents three twisted tales of figurines that have a mysterious power over those who come in contact with them. Synopsis:Now back in print with stunning new cover art, Fleischman's Newbery Honor Book featuring three twisted tales of figurines that have a mysterious power over those who come in contact with them. Synopsis:Paul Fleischman spins three engrossing stories about the unexpected ways an artist's creations reveal truths - tales whose intriguing plots and many moods will entertain readers and inspire future writers. Can wood, copper, or marble communicate? They can if they are the graven images in Newbery Medalist Paul Fleischman's trio of eerie, beguiling short stories. If you whisper a secret into a wooden statue's ear, will anyone find out? Can a wobbly weathervane bearing the image of Saint Crispin, the patron saint of shoemakers, steer a love-struck apprentice toward the girl of his dreams? And if a ghost hires a sculptor to carve a likeness of him holding a drink to a baby's lips, what ghastly crime might lie behind his request? And, in a brand-new afterword, the acclaimed storyteller reveals how he found his own author's voice. What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
