Books with author Dee Wallace

In the great land of Nebula, all boys reaching the age of eighteen must undertake a dangerous initiation into manhood. Will of Harken, a Prince of Noble blood, is no exception. On his eighteenth birthday, Will is sent alone to a desert isle where he must kill a vicious shape-shifting beast. The beast will test all of Will’s courage and resolve, but no more so than the evil men, who in his absence have murdered his father, and are now out to kill him. Will escapes the assassins, only to be kidnapped by sky pirates who pilot him thousands of miles from his home to be sold into slavery. Thus begins an epic journey that will take Will into the most savage and fantastical worlds ever imagined. Inspired by the works of Shakespeare, driven by the winds of Homer, and molded by the imagination of one of Hollywood’s greatest mythmakers, Mr. Wallace has invented an Elizabethan Fairy Tale and Sci-Fi Fantasy Adventure story of the grandest order. Written with a nod to the poetry and style of the Bard, those who love Shakespeare are assured of a fantastic read. And for those who love Fantasy and Adventure, be prepared for a ride on one of the most incredible literary roller coasters ever invented. Welcome to the strange and beautiful world of D.J. Wallace.

The book is designed to provide an opportunity for young readers to show, through their own personal illustrations, how well they comprehend what is being read in delightful stories featuring other young children and animals. Each story is divided into several small segments, which appear in bold script, across the bottom of the page. The top portion of the page is left blank, enabling the reader to draw and color his or her favorite part of what has just been read. From an educational standpoint, the book lends itself to being a supplementary comprehension text. The children's illustrations speak for themselves as to what has been gleaned from the script. This format also allows an opportunity for children to express their comprehension of the story orally as they verbally share their creations with both teachers and peers. Teachers and parents will be able to assess the children's understanding of what is being read as they enjoy the precious drawings of their little ones. The finished book then becomes a wonderful, personalized memento from this special time in the life of the young reader.
