Rich delicious, and imaginative, a book to enjoy over and over. A delightful tale that generations to come will enjoy. Chateau Le Blanc is a lighthearted, humorous chapter book that encourages parents to read to children and older children to read to themselves. It is a story to instill a lifelong love of learning. There is no better way than being read to or reading to help children acquire higher vocabulary and other skills. Each chapter capitalizes on the individuality of the characters, who live in the Le Blanc household. Undoubtedly, when one reflects on his or her own childhood, pondering the characters in the story, there is a touchstone for everyone in this delightfully light children's book. Like the Le Blancs, every family is unique and at the same time ordinary; everyone is important to the matrix of a family, and each deserves recognition. Clearly, what sets Chateau Le Blanc apart from other children's stories is that the family home has a BIG secret. The story also celebrates siblings who may seem joined at the hip one second and light years away the next, but siblings remain fiercely loyal to one another, which creates an endearing bond. Long, cold, dark winters are oppressive. Who would choose to endure nine months of miserable weather, when he or she could be lounging on a beach or swimming in the warm, clear waters of the Caribbean? Far from contrived, Chateau Le Blanc is straight from the heart; it is the kind of story I told to my children when they were young because my older sister often told me such stories when we were children, sharing a bedroom and looking for any excuse to stay awake after bedtime. Her stories raised the bar and were most intriguing, as is this tale about life and the way a family works together to make a living, run the household, raise the children, and take a splendid vacation once in a while.
