Cricket 34/10: Thoughts
This was an interesting issue of Cricket. I liked the end of “The Explorer” a lot and continue to be intrigued by the adventures of “Long Meg”. The story “Storm Chaser” was really good - the emotions felt very real. “The Thousandth Sword” was an interesting tale with still more interesting history behind. “Instead of the War Drum: The Story of Ashoka” was also a fascinating bit of history. I wasn’t as intrigued by the insect story and information, but both were well done. The historical information about the microscope was far more interesting to me! I loved the poem “Icarus”. Overall, this was a good issue, it just wasn’t all to my taste (and that’s probably as it should be - I’m not the only reader)!
