BOOK: Perloo the bold by Avi

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@SATURN.PLANET.NET>]

Avi._Perloo the bold_,1998
      This is another animal story by Avi which is more than your
usual animal story.  As in Poppy, it is a adventure.  The diversity
of Avi's writting always amazes me.  This one concerns a scholar how
who unwantingly gets selected by the dying leader of a country to be
the new leader of the country.  This all happens while a war is
brewing.  I found this story very enjoyable -- it could have been an
adventure with humans but is cuter and allows for more humorous
situation with these pretend animals, the Montmers.  I purchased this
225 book because of a recommendation at our state Educational Media
Association convention.
