Summary: Not just for kids.
Comment: I helped my twelve year old choose this book to read. He found it humorous when I started reading it. "It's a book for Young Adults", he said. That was funny for several reasons, including the fact that he considers himself a young adult.
The book really is not just for kids. This is the first exposure I've had to Sutcliff. I was very pleasantly surprised to find the high quality of her writing to be focussed on kids.
This tale, wonderfully written, tells of a young man and a bad decision. It is a terrible decision in which some one dies. The treatment of the murder is very light. That may be the one criticism that I have for the story. Today, of all days, our kids need to know the very serious consequences of their actions. The setting of this story is far removed from our own, and is probably the way it would have been.
Through the life events and challenges resulting from the accident, Bjarni becomes a man. He learns the hard way how to do just about everything. This forging process helps him to grow physically and mentally.
This is a good story. There is a little death, a little love, and a lot of life.
