"A Boy Called Dickens" | 60second Book Review
"A Boy Called Dickens" by Deborah Hopkinson and John Hendrix. Books for Teens: 60second Book Review by Jenny Sawyer. http://goo.gl/fLZF0X
Calling all Dickens fans! We couldn't resist this week's Pick, even if it is geared toward a decidedly younger audience. In this tale, which weaves together the real-life events of Dickens' childhood with references to many of his literary classics, you'll meet the people and see the events that shaped Dickens the boy, and Dickens the writer. Dickens' life certainly wasn't all sunshine, and this accessible biography illuminates the life of a boy who would grow up to write, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times."
