Sensel, Joni The Humming of Numbers, 243 p. Henry Holt, 2008.
MS - NO
Because of his love of richly drawn illuminations, hand-drawn illustrations in the days of hand-copied books, Aidan has committed to joining the monastery. His oath is set, until the day that the local lord brings one of his by-blows to imprisoned in the abbey as punishment. Aidan is inexplicably drawn to Lana and struggles to resist the temptation she represents. Circumstances, however, throw the two together and Aidan's surrender to love may be inevitable.
While there is nothing particularly wrong with this book, I didn't find it particularly intriguing nor compelling, either. It doesn't cover a historical situation, nor does it address a subject that students will find particularly interesting. Sorry.
