A Single Shard was a good story to read. It was about Tree-ear, an orphan that lived in Vietnam. He loved to watch Min, a sculptor make art work. One day Min catches Tree-ear spying on him and asks from him to do work for him. Tree-ear agrees and works and works for hours a day. All of the village heard about the Commissary Kim was coming to give commissions to the potters. Min was given one and soon Tree-ear was off to go give the Commissary the art work. half way through the trip Tree-ear was stopped by two men. Later he realized that they were robbers! The two men beat Tree-ear up and has his food taken. But the worst thing is they trow the vases over the cliff! Tree-ear is devastated and rushes to the river below. All that is left is a single shard.
Will the journey end here? Will tree ear continue? If he does will the Commissary like the broken art? Read this book to find out.
