One of the nice things about doing the Nutmeg Book Bowl with the fifth grade is I have to read books I might normally pick up. Archer's Quest by Linda Sue Park is one of those books. Kevin is twelve and home alone - he had a half day of school and his parents are working late. He's finished with all but his social studies homework and is doing a fine job avoiding it when suddenly there is a man in his room brandishing a bow and arrow. Not only is he brandishing a bow and arrow but he used it to nick the button at the top of Kevin's hat. Who is this man? Would you believe the Korean king, Chu Mong who founded the Koguryo Kingdom in 37 BC? What follows is a delightful time travel story of a 21st century boy trying to help a Korean King from 2000 years ago get back to his home.
