Title: My 4th graders loved it. A great tale.
Product review: I would heartily recommend this book to the 11 and 12 year old set. There are not a lot of books appropriate for that age level with the personality of the Red Sails to Capri. It was a bit difficult for even good fourth grade readers to get the nuances, so I would alternate reading pages with the students. That said, after reading the book, I myself want to sail off to Capri to see the island and of course, "the cave." Ann Weil does such a wonderful job of building the characters here from the Mama and Papa to the outgoing Angelo, and then the three travelers each in search of something different in life. And, the discussions we had about finding what we want in life by pursuing them were always interesting. This was one of my favorite books to use when I was teaching. It is not particularly easy reading, I certainly would recommend it wholeheartedly.
