Booktalk #1 In this fantasy world, a former lost orphan who was raised by monks and is now a librarian has big dreams. Lazlo Strange, the librarian, has always been obsessed with stories about a mythic lost city called Weep. One day a band of soldiers, on their way to find Weep, rode through Lazlo’s city. Lazlo realized that this was his chance to perhaps find this lost city. As he joins their quest, Lazlo wins the hearts of these warriors and gains their trust in their mission. With his dreams of and knowledge about Weep, Lazlo helps decipher what happened to this lost city over two hundred years ago. But with his answers, come more mysteries and questions. Who is the blue-skinned goddess in Lazlo’s dreams? How did he dream about her before even meeting her? Why does he feel so at home in this lost city of Weep? Read Strange the Dreamer to learn how Lazlo solves these mysteries and maybe even finds a place where he really belongs. (Prepared by: Donna Roberts, Rock Hill High School, droberts@rhmail.org for South Carolina Book Award) Booktalk #2 Lazlo Strange, a bookish orphan, travels to he semi-mythical city of Weep. There, he finds a blue-skinned family of young gods living in the sky citadel—and falls in love with Sarai, a manipulator of dreams. (Connecticut Nutmeg Award https://www.nutmegaward.org/) |
