Chronicle As Books Apprentice

Given a challenge to read a book set in the Renaissance, I hit our school library card catalog hoping to find a few options for a quick read. I found one. One book set in the Renaissance. This book. So I read it. I'm sure it is one of those books that rarely gets checked out because the cover looks dated, and the story doesn't have dragons or vampires or a dystopian society or a clique of mean girls who get what's coming to them, and that's is a shame, because it is really a good story of a young man, the son of a respected tailor, who wants to be an artist in Florence, Italy. Arduino's apprenticeship was not all he hoped for. In the midst of it, he befriends another young man in worse circumstances. By helping his friend, Arduino's dream of learning from a skilled master is fulfilled. Fast-paced read with solid historical content.

Judgment Of Books Apprentice

This is the fictional account of a young boy in Florence, Italy who has the dream of becoming a painter during the Renaissance. I really enjoyed the story and so did my children. You know a book is good when even the one who does not have to be listening will steal the book when I am done reading so she can read ahead. That happened with this book. A highly enjoyable, interesting book.

Wonderful book to read during a study of Renaissance Art.

Although fiction, this book provides a lot of insight into the life and times of Florence, Italy during the renaissance. We enjoyed the story for the lesson on patience and working toward your dreams.

Exciting and mysterious historical fiction for children about a young boy, Arduino, who is apprenticed to a master painter in Renaissance Florence.

I was looking for a light, enjoyable book set on the Renaissance for middle schoolers in our classical school, and this fit the bill perfectly. Set in Florence, it follows a young boy who dreams of becoming an artist (though his family business is tailoring). His father reluctantly sets up an apprenticeship with a local maestro who doesn't actually teach much art at all due to the illness he is trying to hide from his clients. That's not all he is hiding. There's an even bigger secret in

A cute, sweet story that I read to ds. Read at the same time as The Second Mrs. Giaconda (about a servant of Leonardo da Vinci) and followed by I, Juan de Pareja (about a slave owned by Diego Velasquez)--gave a great picture of Renaissance Spain and Italy and the personalities of some of the great artists.

most of my students (those who actually read it, it didn't pull in the highly reluctant readers) enjoyed it. a little heavy handed with the moral, but it's for kids afterall so subtlety would be lost.
