![]() Some aspects of the book, the ending especially, felt a bit on the serious and heavy side, but I think this was pulled off really well for middle grade. This book also reminded me of A Series of Unfortunate Events (kids alone in the world, thrown into one big terrible situation that was outside of their control…) which was one of my favourite childhood book series! The twist and the ending truly had me stunned. ![]() The puzzles! I got to say, the puzzles in this book were ingenious and reminded me a bit of The Mysterious Benedict Society! Although I’m many times older than Chess, Finn and Emma, I admit that the puzzles in this book got me stumped hahaha… I loved that they each had a different and distinct voice which came through in this three-POV book. ![]() They each had unique personalities - Finn, the “baby” of the family but desperate to help in his own way Emma, the math whiz and Chess, the older brother who tried to hold it all together when his mom wasn’t there.

The college's associate curator of special collections, Karen V. In 1981, Smith College president Jill Ker Conway facilitated the purchase of the Plath collection, which includes letters, poems, as well as the poet's personal journals. Hughes published her journals in 1982, however acknowledged that he had excised unsavory and unflattering entries from the last two notebooks spanning 1959 through 1962. Since she died without a will, Plath's literary estate was left in the hands of her estranged husband. In the summer of 1950, just before matriculating at Smith College, Plath began recording the events of her life in almost obsessive detail, and would ultimately cover topics from her never ending quest for poetic perfection to Hughes' spousal infidelity. Her journals, on the other hand, were an opportunity for Plath to write freely and unencumbered by critical eyes. Plath's sharp, spare verses are the result of many drafts and revisions. In the years that followed, Plath's work would achieve acclaim and accolades, assuring her a place in the pantheon of American poets. A fit of despair over her troubled marriage to fellow poet Ted Hughes led Sylvia Plath to commit suicide in 1963. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The pièce de résistance in every venue, any setting, is the gorgeous arrangements of seasonal flowers Courtney's bouquets will take your breath away, from spring to autumn, for outdoors and inside.

The characters are distinct and the action flows naturally it is amazing how closely this version evokes the style and feeling of the original. Carroll’s grayscale artwork perfectly depicts the starkness of Melinda’s depression through strong ink lines and striking panels that rely on pencil and charcoal textural effects for the backgrounds. This potent retelling of the modern classic Speak blends words and images to create magic: a new representation of a teen whose voice is ripped from her, the battles she must wage to find it again, and the triumph of finally being able to speak out. One of the few people to reach her is her art teacher, who helps her express with art what she has so deeply and painfully buried. ![]() Rarely speaking, ditching classes, and ignoring school assignments, she spirals downward into apathy and depression. ![]() Unable to tell anyone what actually happened at the party, Melinda withdraws more and more into herself.

Illustrator Emily Carroll Praise for Speak: The Graphic Novel ![]() ![]() ![]() Celé je to plné déjà vu a pocitu nereálna, podivných náznakov, ktoré ostávajú nevysvetlené, mladučkých manželiek, chtíča v sparnom vlhku, rojov múch, nočných zvukov džungle a povier. Hoci sa odohráva okolo roku 1830 uprostred krásnej karibskej prírody Jamajky a Dominiky, je mimoriadne pochmúrny: potlačené rodinné tajomstvá, strach z magických praktík bývalých otrokov a strach z miešania rás, šíriace sa náznaky vo fámach, incest, zarastené cesty a polorozpadnuté domy, rasizmus nielen medzi novými anglickými obyvateľmi a bielymi kreolmi, ale aj medzi kreolmi a domorodcami, a dokonca aj medzi samotnými domorodcami. Preto sa Jean Rhys rozhodla napísať jej príbeh – príbeh minulosti šialenej Berthy, vlastným menom Antoinette Coswayovej, na začiatku mladučkej kreolky, ktorej s Rochesterom dohodli manželstvo, a zároveň tak trochu aj príbeh britskej kolonizácie, dalo by sa povedať. ![]() ![]() Born into an oppressive colonialist society, Creole heiress Antoinette Cosway meets a. It is clear that Antoinette is a beautiful thing with a sad destiny, and that Rochester cannot do anything to control it. Rochester asks Have all beautiful things sad destinies (Rhys 51). Keď si Jean Rhys prečítala Janu Eyrovú, veľmi ju dráždilo a hnevalo, že príbeh má len jednu stranu, tú anglickú, a jediné spojenie s Rochesterovou minulosťou v koloniálnych teritóriách je jeho šialená žena zamknutá v podkroví Thornfieldu, ktorá nemá v knihe vlastný hlas.

Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea comes to a tragic end where the protagonist, Antoinette, is left as a mad woman in an attic. ![]() ![]() ![]() There were enough of the original events to clearly see that this was an Anastasia retelling, which I loved. I love the story (and the 90s animated film) so I was incredibly excited to see the concept taken and turned into something completely different. I love the concept of a space opera retelling of Anastasia. But when a darkness from Ana’s past returns, she must face an impossible choice: does she protect a kingdom that wants her dead or save the Metal boy she loves? What they find in a lost corner of the universe will change all their lives-and unearth dangerous secrets. Now their entire kingdom is after them-and the coordinates-and not everyone wants them captured alive. When everything goes wrong, she and the Ironblood end up as fugitives on the run. He has his own reasons for taking the coordinates, and he doesn’t care what he’ll sacrifice to keep them. ![]() ![]() But at the last moment, a spoiled Ironblood boy beats Ana to her prize. But D09-one of the last remaining illegal Metals-has been glitching, and Ana will stop at nothing to find a way to fix him.Īna’s desperate effort to save D09 leads her on a quest to steal the coordinates to a lost ship that could offer all the answers. Found as a child drifting through space with a sentient android called D09, Ana was saved by a fearsome space captain and the grizzled crew she now calls family. Seventeen-year-old Ana is a scoundrel by nurture and an outlaw by nature.

Fran finally tells Mark that Brutus has to go, but changes her mind when he saves her favorite dachshund puppy, Chloe, from a scrap heap. ![]() His confused identity sets the stage for a number of mildly comic bits lead by the mischievous dachshunds-he chases a policeman up a tree, destroys Mark's studio with paint splattered, and ruins a garden party in a topsy-turvy way. Mark agrees and the Great Dane, named Brutus, grows up with the tiny puppies convinced that he's also a dachshund. That same day his Great Dane had a large litter of puppies and he didn't have enough milk for all of them. Pruitt convinces Mark to take a runt Great Dane puppy home with him as a gift. The story begins with their dachshund, Danke, giving birth to 3 puppies. Mark and Fran Garrison are a dog-loving couple with different tastes in canines. ![]() |
