Discuss Containing Books Culloo

There isn't a lot to say about this book. The story concept was interesting, and the writing was fairly good - although I did spot a few issues, especially near the end. It was just... meh.It's not really to my taste. What I didn't like/what seemed very foreign to me, was the children referring to their parents by their first names. I don't know if that's common for Native Americans, or common for Canadians, but it was very weird. Because of that, it also meant that it took me a while to figure

I definitely enjoyed this book! A short, quick read, I found myself easily able to identify and relate to Tala and Dason. At first, Tala seemed a bit old for her age, but once you begin to understand more of her background, it seems perfectly in place and reasonable. Its a great example story for so many things. The adventure aspect was great I feel it was a good read, even for me, and dont feel it would be too scary for a younger reader. I also loved the positive examples it showed of sibling

A lot of promising elements never real add up to more than the sum of the whole. A short novel of two children's adveturous rescue attempt after their father goes missing confronting some illegal bear poachers. The descriptions of the natural world and the mysticism of the forest and the protective big bird, Culloo, is a little heavy handed. I felt the book would have worked better as an ultra realistic outdoor adventure. The three main characters are solid but lack any defining features to

'Respect the spirit of all living things around you; animals, trees, plants, rocks; and they'll protect you'. Wisdom of the ancestors, this is essential knowledge for twelve year old Tala and her eight year old brother, Dason. Tala and Dason need to become brave warriors to find their Dad and help him escape from violent poachers, people who believe that animals exist only to be killed for profit.'Culloo' is a brilliant book, especially for urban kids AND for urban adults.

"Cullo" by Murielle Cyr may have been written for young adults but it has a great appeal for adults, too. On the surface it is an adventure story but it covers many other issues and can be seen as a universally valid reflection on men's relationship to (Mother) nature.The story concerns two children in search of their missing father and the sometimes scary situations that this mission brings for them in the wild. The siblings are afraid to lose their father and be taken away by childhood

Murielle Cyr's book, Culloo, is the cream at the top of YA literature. With the content of so many stories for young adults falling in the shallow and fluff category, Culloo stands out as a shining example of what children's literature can be. Intelligent and well-written, Culloo is a winner! Did I mention it's also a very good story?! Janelle Meraz Hooper, author, The Slum Resort & others.
