Summary

Eustace was a naughty monk who lived in France during the Middle Ages. Monks usually spent their time praying and reading the bible and being good, but Eustace was not like that at all! People told lots of stories about Eustace because he had such an exciting life. Can you guess which of these stories are true and which are made up?

 
This engaging and enjoyable book for younger readers tells an intriguing story with an educational twist. Exploring the life of a real historical figure through verifiable accounts and fictional stories from the time, this colourful tale provides a fascinating and fun way of introducing children to the medieval period.

 
With its simple language and bright illustrations, it is particularly suitable for reading with young children or for early readers to try on their own.
Available since: 11/01/2012.

    A children’s poet and an acclaimed illustrator pair “luscious rhymes and an atmospheric eeriness" in this playful tale of neighborhood battle (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

So begins the Pomegranate War, a rollicking contest of wills between the plucky young rascals and their wry, witchy neighbor who has more than a few tricks up her sleeve.  A delightful rhyming tale that culminates in a grand Halloween surprise, The Pomegranate Witch honors classic children's literature and revels in nostalgia for free-to-roam days full of playful invention.
