We are trying to raise money to buy The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho for our literature sets here at Madison High School. We have a teacher who would love to teach it to his students, but due to budget cuts we cannot afford it. Thank you so much for your interest in supporting literacy in our school. From School Library Journal YA-- This simple, yet eloquent parable celebrates the richness of the human spirit. A young Spanish shepherd seeking his destiny travels to Egypt where he learns many lessons, particularly from a wise old alchemist. The real alchemy here, however, is the transmuting of youthful idealism into mature wisdom. The blending of conventional ideas with an exotic setting makes old truths seem new again. This shepherd takes the advice Hamlet did not heed, learning to trust his heart and commune with it as a treasured friend. Enjoyable and easy to read, this timeless fantasy validates the aspirations and dreams of youth. - Sabrina Fraunfelter, Fairfax County Public Library, VA
