Richard Manners (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 6 and up | Grade Level: 1 and up

Girl Child Saturday, Book Two is a continuation of the stories told in the first book, Girl Child Saturday. The stories are in the form of a children's fantasy, appealing to children between the ages of 6 and 12, and to the child in all of us. Its style lends itself to being read aloud to younger children. The setting of the story is the Forest, where all the animals and birds are known as the Folk of the Forest. Girl Child Saturday is a little girl mouse with an unusual talent she is not even aware of. She is able to see into the heart of things. Once the hierarchy of the Forest, Eagle, Badger and Armadillo, become aware of her talent, they call upon her to help avert all sorts of dangers to the Forest and to the Folk who live there. Each chapter, standing on its own, describes the resolution of a particular crisis occurring in the Forest.
