The Book Without Words is by Avi. This is the fantasy story of an alchemist who wants to make gold and a potion to make him live forever. The secrets to do this reside in a book that can only be read by people with green eyes. Set against Master Thorston is Brother Wilfrid who wants to keep the book secret; caught in the middle are Sybil (Thorston's green eyed servant girl) and Odo a talking raven. A fun tale of good vs. evil. An enjoyable read.
Ratings: 6th grade - 8 out of 10.
