Book Recommendation

I loved "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" which arrived with other Christmas goodies. It is an American re-telling of Hamlet (like West Side Story and Romeo and Juliet) - with the main character a mute boy living in northern Wisconsin with his family who raises dogs. Just like Hamlet there is an evil uncle who insuates himself into the family and a lot of people die at the end. It is a great, beautifully written book. Caution: it is a slow read.
