Character Education—Inky & the Missing Gold by Don Stansberry
Suggested reading level grades 4 & up
A very small wizard named Inkydomus lives in the ruins of an abandoned castle. Because of a curse placed on his father, he has lived over three hundred years and has grown to a height of only twelve inches. His legendary adventures working for the royals are known throughout Europe. These stories have been passed down for generations among the royal and poor alike.
Now after nearly a hundred years of hiding from a life he despised, he finds someone is searching for him. The thought of an adventure is surprisingly appealing and Inky allows himself to be captured and taken to a king who needs a mystery solved. The adventure he finds is far more perilous than he ever expected. A cruel king, strange creatures, a zoo full of monstrosities, and an unexpected friendship will change his life forever in the search for missing gold.
Inky & the Missing Gold is well written and excellent reading for the middle school to high school set. Medieval fiction at it’s best, Don Stansberry captures not only castle life but includes historical information like Knights of the Templar. First in a series, this book is popular not only in the classroom but the in the bookstores.
