The Story Box

Rating:
Summary: A fabulous story
Review: I read this book so I could vote for the Red Maple award. I voted for this book, and I will not be surprised if it wins. This is the suspenseful and heartwarming story of a boy on the island of Ariban who discovers a shipwrecked girl who washed up on the shore. She was Jennifer, the storyteller, who brought with her a box of stories. The land was Ariban, a place where imagination is forbidden, stories are outlawed, and dreams must die before morning. In this story, the boy must chose between the love of a friend, and the honour of his family.

Rating:
Summary: Finely written
Review: This book is definitely recommended for those who love fantasy books. A young boy lives in a land where dreams and stories are forbidden until one day a girl gets washed upon their shores. Her name is Jennifer, and she is one of the Storytellers. The book is absolute brain candy and will leave you astounded. I recommend it to all kids above age 11.
