This one looks at the native american culture which we will go on to study and research farther after the read aloud just like we will with all of the other cultures. This is a great way to start into the lesson on each culture and the books listed in Tunnel are great resources to do so. This give students a look at what they will be researching farther and something that the can look back and refer to. A fun part about using all of these different books in a multicultural week would be bringing in different dishes to share that are had in certain places, as well as making decoration that are typically seen in certain areas of the world. Throughout the feast we can play certain songs that are from cultures and learn dances that are practiced there. It is a good books that ties into a good lesson and lets the students know more about the world and people around them! ( ) Reviewed by K. Osborn Sullivan for TeensReadToo.com The Native American Abenaki people have a legend about a huge flying creature called Pmola. It lives in the mountains, guards its treasure, and punishes trespassers harshly. To thirteen-year-old Paul, this legend has always been little more than a scary story, until the dreams start haunting him. Then, he and his Grandpa Peter run afoul of a ruthless treasure hunter who has heard the legend of Pmola. Soon, Paul's nightmares are taking on an even deeper meaning than he could have ever imagined. NIGHT WINGS is an exciting story that blends an ancient legend with modern criminals. It gives the reader heroes to cheer for and villains to hiss at, and something scary that literally goes bump in the night. What's not to like? It also offers a fascinating peek at some Native American traditions and beliefs from an author who is himself of Abenaki heritage. NIGHT WINGS is recommended for readers who like a scary story told in an engaging style. It is a fairly short novel, which makes it especially appropriate for younger readers. Older readers might be left wanting a longer tale, however. They are probably used to more character development and multiple plot lines, both of which are largely lacking in this book. Nevertheless, NIGHT WINGS is an engaging story about a fascinating Native American legend that should have appeal for horror fans. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
