7/6/2023 0 Comments Amulet the stonekeeper bookThere are some 'mature' themes throughout such as the dad dying at the beginning and the great grandfather dying but at 8 years old most kids can handle that especially understanding that it is fiction but they can empathize with the characters' losses which is what a good book does! The characters are relatable for my son, and he loves all their various quirks. No more violent than old school batman and robin or spiderman cartoon, and its in defense of others or to protect others except when its perpetrated by the evil Elves. However, following the heart-wrenching but non-violent death of the father (auto crash) the author paints a touching picture of the structural reconciliation and emotional. The opening pages are filled with strong tragedy and emotions are high. He has books 1-3 and has read and re-read them each at least 3 times! The illustrations are phenomenal, the storyline is interesting and creative, suspenseful, and has just enough 'violence' to captivate and facinate my kid without being inappropriate or overly graphic. Great for boys and girls looking to move past Cptn. It is accessible to most kids that read at minimum a grade 2/3 level. My 8 year old son absolutely loves these books.

Her perfect husband wouldn’t be so moody and ill-mannered, and while Phillip was certainly handsome, he was a large brute of a man, rough and rugged, and totally unlike the London gentlemen vying for her hand. The beautiful woman on his doorstep was anything but quiet, and when she stopped talking long enough to close her mouth, all he wanted to do was kiss her… and more.ĭid he think she was mad? Eloise Bridgerton couldn’t marry a man she had never met! But then she started thinking… and wondering… and before she knew it, she was in a hired carriage in the middle of the night, on her way to meet the man she hoped might be her perfect match. Sir Phillip Crane knew that Eloise Bridgerton was a spinster, and so he’d proposed, figuring that she’d be homely and unassuming, and more than a little desperate for an offer of marriage. It is my hope that we might decide that we will suit, and you will consent to be my wife. We have been corresponding now for quite some time, and although we have never formally met, I feel as if I know you.įorgive me if I am too bold, but I am writing to invite you to visit me.

The book was commissioned by Walt Disney for a film that was never made, and published in 1943. His first children's book was The Gremlins, about mischievous little creatures that were part of RAF folklore. Its title was inspired by a highly inaccurate and sensationalized article about the crash that blinded him, which claimed he had been shot down instead of simply having to land because of low fuel. The story, about his wartime adventures, was bought by the Saturday Evening Post for $900, and propelled him into a career as a writer. Today the story is published as A Piece of Cake. Roald Dahl was a British novelist, short story writer and screenwriter of Norwegian descent, who rose to prominence in the 1940's with works for both children and adults, and became one of the world's bestselling authors.ĭahl's first published work, inspired by a meeting with C. 7/6/2023 0 Comments American Hippo by Sarah GaileyIt’s an inclusive set of characters that I fell in love with-there weren’t many explicit labels used, but the main character Winslow is pan/bisexual, Hero uses they/them pronouns, Archie is fat and genderfluid, and there were a multitude of accents and skin colors that implied the characters were from all over. Gailey put a lot of thought into this Western-but-with-hippos set. American Hippo is her two novellas published by Tor- River of Teeth and Taste of Marrow-combined into one volume, with two fun little prequel short stories to supplement. Sarah Gailey imagines an alternative history where it was voted into action, where hippos were brought to America to be ranched and ridden. Years ago, America (for real) considered bringing hippos to the United States to eat invasive species and solve a meat shortage. 7/6/2023 0 Comments Love you forever robertDespite her occasional aggravation caused by her son's behavior, the mother nonetheless visits his bedroom nightly to cradle him in her arms, and sing a brief lullaby promising to always love him. The story details the cycle of life by chronicling the experiences of a young son and his mother throughout the course of the boy's life and describing the exasperating behavior exhibited by him throughout his youth. The son sings the song for her, then sings it to his newborn daughter. The mother and son grow older, with the former becoming sick due to old age, and one day unable to sing the lullaby. During his childhood, she becomes frustrated with his rebellious nature, yet always sings to him after he falls asleep. The story centers on a mother who sings a lullaby to her son at each stage of his life. Love You Forever is a 1986 children's picture book written by Robert Munsch and illustrated by Sheila McGraw. This is not just a case of “to the victors go the spoils” even when it comes to the production of knowledge. Unfortunately, the false narrative is the one that has carried the day. Madhusree Mukerjee’s brilliant and searing account of Churchill’s active and racist connivance in the Bengal Famine – Churchill’s Secret War– is a salutary corrective to the canonical and ahistorical narrative of Winston-as-savior. In perhaps the most shameful episode of imperialism-as-genocide, Churchill let 3-4 million Bengalis starve in the early-mid Forties while India contributed massively to the European War. When it comes to India and Indians, Churchill’s virulence, racist, and thirst for blood was at its worst. One would indeed get this impression from the typical romantic (and racist) hagiographies that pass as “history.” To read such pabulum is to be at play in the fields of elision. The 45 th President of the United States, Donald Trump, delivered a perfect one recently by installing a bust of Churchill in the Oval Office. Writers are every now and again given a gift from the “news,” a nugget that serves to be an easy opening gambit.
