(Illustrator)
Book Review - Cool heroes, cool plot. I remember when the Contest of Champions was first released as a 3-issue comic. It paved the way for Secret Wars. It was clear and to the point: Grandmaster and Death place a wager. If the Grandmaster's team wins, Grandmaster regains his lost brother the Collecter. If Death wins, Grandmaster gives up his life. Both sides choose 12 heroes, and go at it. It introduced a whole new group of heroes, and it was fun all around.... Book of Enchantments by Patricia C. Wrede
Book Review - Gr. 5^-8. This collection of
short stories featuring enchantments offers a surprisingly varied selection.
Most of the stories are set in a place of high fantasy--long ago and far
away--yet several have modern settings. One is based on a fairy tale, another
on a ballad, and a third was inspired by the biblical parable of the prodigal
son. Even readers who aren't drawn to the literature of sword and sorcery may
enjoy "Utensile Strength," a humorous tale in which a wizard tries
to create the ultimate weapon and ends up with the Frying Pan of Doom. Those
familiar with the genre will find it even funnier. A well-crafted anthology
with several selections suitable for reading aloud. Carolyn Phelan Copyright©
