This book creates an intimate tapestry of stories from blacks and whites, adults and children, leaders and families from the North and South.

David Elliott turns a classic on its head: this rough and rowdy retelling of the Minotaur myth in verse will have readers reevaluating one of mythology's most infamous monsters. THE MYTH OF THE MINOTAUR? THAT'S BULL. Garnering six starred reviews, this update of the timeless story of Theseus and the Minotaur has been called “beautifully clever,” “a literary feast fit for the gods,” "powerful and engrossing," "irresistible, slick, and sharp," "a genre of its own," and "rude...crude, and it's a whole bunch of fun." Resurrected from the dark depths of the labyrinth, this fresh, deliciously shocking, and darkly comedic novel-in-verse takes on the Theseus and Minotaur myth and shines a light on one of history's most infamous monsters.

[Library Edition Audiobook CD format in sturdy Vinyl case.] [For Ages 10 and up] [Read by Various Readers, including Paul Fleischman] Sixteen voices -- not the heroes, not those who would become eulogized in history books and synonymous with the glory of war. No, these are the voices of the common soldiers and their leaders, their families, their comrades. North/South, white/black, adult/child -- a disparate and compelling choir of voices. Newbery Medal winner Paul Fleischman has written a tour de force that lends itself perfectly to multivoiced narration. From eager eleven-year-old Toby Boyce to Colonel Oliver Brattle, who has seen it all and knows the true face of war, these many voices are skillfully woven together -- creating an intimate tapestry of naïveté, broken dreams, and carnage that transports the listener to the front lines of the Battle of Bull Run. Paul Fleischman makes an appearance as the voice of James Dacy and concludes this unique production with a personal author's note -- allowing us to glimpse into his beginnings as a writer, as well as how Bull Run came to be written.

A Civil War drama told in sixteen voices, this 'is a heartbreaking and remarkably vivid portrait of a war that remains our nation's bloodiest conflict.... Fleischman's artistry is nothing short of astounding.' --Publishers Weekly. 'Fleischman has done what he does best--create a unique piece of fiction with echoes of his poetry throughout.' --H.
