Re: [Re: McKinley: HERO AND THE CROWN]

Have to agree with Katya there, I don't remember anything that would lead
the reader to the idea that Aerin made the crown.
My sister had her 7th (or 8th?) grade class read the book, and then everyone
made puppets so they could act out the story. All the kids really enjoyed
the book, she said.
