Laura Amy Schlitz was teaching her students about the Middle Ages when the idea to this book. Her students were going to be putting on a play to show what they had learned and nobody wanted a small part. The thought of wanting all of her students to be able to be a star (even for a few minutes) is what lead to the creation of these monologues. Although the characters themselves are made up, the stories that they humorously tell the listener/reader are very true. Schlitz is able to pass on knowledge in a way that doesn't shock people as they hear about the horrible conditions which plagued the Middle Ages. All of the twenty-three character monologues are able to be read independently, but they also intertwine with each other as more of the individual characters are introduced. Interspersed throughout the character monologues are more factual tidbits on things (such as falconry and the three-field system) mentioned quickly in the monologues. $19.99 Ages 8-12 -Andrea Dow
