The Trumpeter of Krakow
by Eric P. Kelly. The Trumpeter of Krakow is a GREAT book which takes place in Poland during the 15th Century. If anyone out there is at all like me, you'll want to read this book over and over again.

The Black Arrow
by Robert Louis Stevenson is a GREAT book!
The main characters are:
Richard Shelton
Sir Daniel Brackley
Joanna Sedley
Sir Richard of Gloucester (Richard Crookback)
Sir Oliver Oates
Apparently, R.L. Stevenson had a good sense of humor; for while the book is rather violent in some places, it is very funny in others. At the end of the book Dick (and the reader,) have learned a few lessons.
It would make a REALLY GOOD read-aloud. My family and I listened to the seven (7) CD set in the car, and we all enjoyed every bit of it.
