Children's Reading Mixes History and Adventure in Two Novels
A mixed review notes Richard Church's historical tale of English French raids and a Rye boys’ quest to recover bells, praised for accurate Kent background and anti war focus. It also discusses Scott O’Dell’s Island of the Blue Dolphins as a vivid Robinson Crusoe style survival, and critiques Margaret Paice’s Joey for Christmas for lack of warmth and originality.
