additional reading suggestions
for grades 7 and 8:
·city of the beasts by isabel allende
isbn 987-0060535032 $7.99 (paperback)
adventure seekers will find plenty of thrills in allendes first novel for young readers. when 15-year-old alexander cold is sent to stay with his eccentric, gruff grandmother, kate, while his mother is being treated for cancer, he is more than a little reluctant to accompany kate on a writing assignment in south america to search for a legendary nine-foot-tall "beast." however, once the expedition down the amazon begins, alexanders doubts are pushed out of his mind by more immediate concerns, such as keeping an eye on two suspicious members of the party: a native named karakawe and mauro cari, a wealthy entrepreneur. the plot moves at a rapid pace, laced with surprises and ironic twists. readers will find the authors formula successful with its environmentalist theme, a pinch of the grotesque and a dose of magic.
