I enjoyed reading The Quill Pen but was expecting more of a historical fiction from the pen of Ms. Middle school readers will find themselves enjoying the conversations and actions of the characters as they are exposed to the beautiful, fluid writing style of Michelle Isenhoff. Micah wants a different future from that which his father has planned, and Micah sees how the feather/quill pen can be the instrument of his attaining this different future.Ĭharacters in the story: Widow Parsons, a sharp-tongued lady Gabby and her family, outcasts from village society because of an issue of race Micah, tormented by the possibility that he will have to accede to his father's planned future for him. Micah is a young teen boy held under the domineering and stoney thumb of his unfeeling father. You see, the quill is a feather pen of magical qualities - it is capable of writing without true ink events and happenings of the future and they do transpire as written. However, The Quill Pen, while set in a long-ago seaside village is not historical fiction per se it is a venture into fantasy. The young reader will inevitably learn new vocabulary as well as true historical fact and descriptions of settings when they read a Michelle Isenhoff novel. The author's historical fiction has always flowed flawlessly with beautiful wordsmithing bringing wonderful word pictures to the young readers who have chosen to read her books.
