entertaining

I read Let Sleeping Dragons Lie, by Ty Burson primarily because the author is a fellow ACPS teacher, and I was impressed to hear he won a writing contest due to this novel.

It is an entertaining read, geared towards upper elementary. There were a few lines that seemed unrealistic for an 11 year old boy to say, one being when he compares a river's widening out to,"a beautiful woman's smile" but for the most part, the characters ran true to their age.

It is clearly a debut novel, but it is a worthwhile read. I think boys in 5th or 6th grade will particularly enjoy it.
