Amanda’s Fall

Reviewed by Lydia Dehning (age 6) for Reader Views Kids (3/20)
Amanda’s Fall: A Story for Children About Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) by Kelly Bouldin Darmofal is the story of a little girl named Amanda who is at school in first grade. Amanda likes to play with her friends outside at recess, they like to pretend like they are horses. One day at recess, Amanda rolls down a hill and hits her head on a rock.

I learned a lot about my head from this book. I like the story and how I learned something from it. This will be a good book for anyone to read, especially little kids.

Amanda can’t see the teacher well, she can’t talk to her well, and she starts to shake. Amanda gets taken to the hospital and her parents come, too. At the hospital, Amanda learns that she had a concussion, which is when your head gets hits really hard and your brain moves around. Amanda will have to be careful as she grows up because her concussion might cause problems for her at school. She will also need to be really careful with her head by wearing a helmet while riding her bike and when playing sports like baseball or t-ball. I hope I never get a concussion, and I’ll protect my head by wearing a helmet while I ride my bike and be careful when I play. I learned a lot about my head from this book. I like the story and how I learned something from it. This will be a good book for anyone to read, especially little kids.

A Note from Mom: Lydia didn’t know anything about concussions or hurting your head. From “Amanda’s Fall,” I think she is able to picture what’s going on easier now than if I were to explain it to her. Coming from an author who has experienced a severe head injury, she presented the information appropriately for her target audience. I also like the extra resources in the back of the book, such as symptoms of a concussion and facts about brain injuries. A well-done book

Did you know King Arthur had many other children besides Mordred?


Depending on which version of the legend you read, he had both sons and
daughters, some of whom even survived him. From the ancient tale of Gwydre,
the son who was gored to death by a boar, to Scottish traditions of Mordred
as a beloved king, Tyler R. Tichelaar has studied all the references to
King Arthur's children to show how they shed light upon a legend that has
intrigued us for fifteen centuries.


King Arthur's Children: A Study in Fiction and Tradition is the first full-length
analysis of every known treatment of King Arthur's children, from Welsh
legends and French romances, to Scottish genealogies and modern novels by
such authors as Parke Godwin, Stephen Lawhead, Debra Kemp, and Elizabeth
Wein. King Arthur's Children explores an often overlooked theme in Arthurian
literature and reveals King Arthur's bloodline may still exist today.


Arthurian Authors Praise "King Arthur's Children"

"Author Tyler R. Tichelaar has performed impeccable research into the Arthurian
legend, finding neglected details in early sources and reigniting their
significance. Great brainstorming fun! I am proud to add this to my personal
collection of Arthurian non-fiction."

--Debra Kemp, author of The House of Pendragon series


"Tyler R. Tichelaar's in-depth analysis of the plausibility of King Arthur's
children reaffirms the importance the King Arthur legacy continues to have
for society and the need of people all over the world to be able to connect to
and believe in King Arthur and Camelot."

--Cheryl Carpinello, author of Guinevere: On the Eve of Legend
