Title: An Inspiring Life
Review: The hero of Jean Latham's book, Carry On Mr. Bowditch, provides a good role model for kids today. Nathaniel Bowditch's perseverance through hard times deserves admiration and inspires respect. Even though Nat's life tried various times, his strong ideals help him find a way to `carry on' each time his plans are ruined. Through thick and thin, Nat enjoys his studies, inspiring children to also pursue their future in academics.Not only is the main character virtuous and inspirational, his story is full of joy as well as defeat. This combination provides a good read for elementary or middle school children. The determined way Nat faces the tragedy in his life makes the sad parts of the book easy to pass by, and kids can get a good sense of what life is about by reading Carry On Mr. Bowditch.
