Description
In The Puppets of Spelhorst, Kate DiCamillo weaves a captivating tale that explores the wonders and challenges of childhood through the lens of imagination and creativity. Set in the enchanting village of Spelhorst, the story follows a group of children who discover a hidden theatre filled with puppets that seem to come alive with the flick of a string. As the children delve deeper into the world of puppetry, they uncover secrets of their own hearts and the importance of friendship, courage, and self-expression.

When young Clara stumbles upon the ancient theatre, she finds not only a treasure trove of puppets but also an opportunity to confront her fears and insecurities. Each puppet embodies different aspects of her life, allowing her to navigate the complexities of growing up, from the joy of companionship to the pangs of loss. As the children band together to bring their puppet characters to life, they learn valuable lessons about loyalty, resilience, and the power of storytelling.
