May is up

[swan_tower]

I'm back on schedule! The recommendation for this month (and it really is this month; I'm not behind any more) is John Myers Myers' novel Silverlock. As a teaser to lure you into clicking on that link and finding out what the book is about, I have this to offer: how many novels involve a guy who variously calls himself Golias, Taliesin, Amergin, Demodocus, and Orpheus singing, in Heorot (and in properly alliterative Norse verse), the epic saga of the Alamo?
