Kate DiCamillo is such a wonderful storyteller and the medieval setting of this novel really does a wonderful job to transport the reader away from busy modern life. This is a simple tale with strong messages. The first is central to the story – the power of love and the power of storytelling. The second is that anyone can be brave – the characters are all resilient but also have their vulnerabilities. Another fantastic read from DiCamillo. Esta crÃtica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros CrÃticos do LibraryThing. This story was nice overall, but not very captivating.I didn't find myself drawn to the human characters that much at all. I liked Answelica' the goat's spunkiness, and the imagery of the bee in the various scenes, but I can't say thatI was thrillingly following along with this one. I appreciated some of the elements of the setting, but that was about all. *Please note that I won this via Librarything. You have a prolific, award winning author in Kate DiCamillo. You have a less well known, but equally as award winning illustrator in Sophie Blackall. What do I think this means? I think The Beatryce Prophecy will have some medal sticker on it come the end of the month. This book is set in a time period similar to the Middle Ages. We have monks and kings and strange prophecies. We have a mysterious girl who has been found--yet due to her ability to read (an absolutely no no), she is given a shaved head. Her name, her background, she slowly remembers. And it is tied to the prophecy how a woman will ascend the throne. The Beatryce Prophecy is a love letter to education. To the power of reading and writing and language and stories. It is how we show love. It is how evil can be vanquished. It is how we can escape when we are sad and scared and feeling alone. It helps others remember the role THEY play in their own stories. As a librarian, the message of this book is a balm to my soul. It is a great younger middle grade novel (second and third is the sweet spot). It also would be an enjoyable read aloud. sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica

a demon goat and the ability to read and write (skills considered illegal for women in this world), Beatryce is poised
to do just that. In an impressively slim 250 pages, this gorgeous epic is primed for read-aloud shares. Powerhouses
DiCamillo and Blackall weave a medieval tapestry fit for a queen.
