Title: Up: Spirit of AdventureGenre: Fiction
Reading Level: Ages 6 to 8
Spirit of Adventure is a Stepping Stones chapter book based on the animated Disney movie Up, which is about Russell ending up on an adventure to South America in a flying house when he is trying to earn his Assisting the Elderly Wilderness Explorer badge. The book is pretty much exactly the same as the movie, so some that have seen the movie may find it boring while others may find the familiarity helpful as a beginning chapter book reader.
The style of writing for this book is Russell's stream of consciousness. To some extent this can end up being distracting and make it hard to get into for some. However, it can also make the story more interesting as you get to hear his thought process and better understand his feelings, goals, and intentions.
