Sir Seth Thistlehwaite and the Soothsayer's Shoes

Sir Seth Thistlethwaite and the Soothsayer's ShoesSir Seth Thistlethwaite and the Soothsayer's Shoes by Richard Thake

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sir Seth provides a rambunctious romp through Thake's boyhood imagination. Full of alliteration and surprisingly rhyme-like prose, Sir Seth sets of on a quest to save the soothsayer's stolen shoes. In typical adventure style, he has a sideick and a horse and meets up with some unexpected allies as he battles the Enemy.

I thought it was a fun read and am definitely going to try it as a read aloud with my seven year old son. I think he'll enjoy the playful language and have fun with the characters. I hope I am right!
