Author and playwright, Mary E. Hanks, wrote a fun, entertaining story filled with pulse-pounding suspense and harrowing experiences that will captivate any child's imagination. As a mother of two boys who delight in sword fighting, medieval times and role playing, I believe middle-grade kids will enjoy reading Stage Wars, Book 1 in the Youth Theater Adventures series, as the main characters embark on a time travel adventure unlike anything they've ever heard of or experienced.
In the course of rehearsing for a school play, Shem Michaels, TJ Fortine and Claire Moss find themselves aboard the Time Spinner, Professor Plunkmeyer's technological brain child. Deposited in England in 1068 during the reign of King William the Conqueror when sword-wielding warriors and dungeons were the norm, can foes become friends and work together to find their way home again?
Stage right. Stage left. Offstage. Onstage. Houselights and intermission. For any youngster who enjoys theater and play acting, and feels a call to Broadway, this book is a great choice. Theatrical and captivating, Stage Wars is sure to make a bookworm out of even the most reluctant reader. If your child has an adventurous spirit and loves history and play-acting, then this is the book to read. Run to the bookstore and pick up a copy ~ and don't be late! And don't let Mrs. Dragoon catch you without your costume on!
