Librarainjk recommends Phileas's Fortune: A Story About Self-expression



Phileas's Fortune : A Story About Self-expression
by Agnés de Lestrade

Summary: A young boy lives in a strange land where people must buy and swallow the words they need in order to speak.

This book is unique and somewhat abstract. It is clearly meant to have a deep meaning. It reminds me of adult dystopias where love conquers all. This book includes a note suggesting its use in teaching values.

Interest Level: grades K-3, grades 4-6
Reading Level: grade 4
