The two standouts are easily Fflewddur the bard and Gurgi the… Gurgi, I guess. Attachmentįor all its quasi-Welshness, the world of Prydain is pretty generic, so the quintology depends entirely on its characters for attachment. Whether you grew up in the ’70s, ’80s, or ’90s, there’s a good chance Prydain made it to the top of your childhood reading list. In fact, I’d wager that a good percentage of Mythcreants readers over a certain age have nostalgic memories of an assistant pig keeper and his band of friends adventuring through a land that’s kind of Wales if you don’t look too closely. Fortunately, Taran’s adventures are firmly marketed to readers in the same age range, so that’s close enough for our purposes. To the best of my googling, Prydain’s 1964 publication date means it’s actually older than the middle-grade classification itself.
No matter the age group, ANTS are always the four critical elements that make stories popular. Sutherland’s Dragonet Prophecy under a microscope and rate them on their ANTS using a scale of 1 to 10. Specifically, what happens when we put Lloyd Alexander’s Chronicles of Prydain, K. However, I am a literary critic, so there’s a lot more I can tell you about middle-grade stories. I’m not an expert on developmental psychology, so that’s about all I can tell you about middle-grade readers. While every kid is different, the range in tastes and understanding between those ages is sizable. This genre is fascinating, as its stories need to be deep enough to hold a 12-year-old’s interest but simple enough for an 8-year-old to follow.
I’m closing in on the end of my Animorphs reread, which means I’ve got middle grade on the brain.
