Review Summary: Useful book for reading group
Review: I was thrilled to find this re-telling of The Divine Comedy for young people. I plan to use this book in a junior high reading group that will be travelling to Florence later in the year. It is a quirky book, I found a few typos, but the re-telling of the story is perfect for my purpose. I highly recommend it, particularly for assigned, guided reading where there will be opportunity for clarification of confusing religious concepts.
