Lucy in the Sky by Kiara Brinkman6/27/2023 Go check it out and remember middle school again!" -Sequential Tart " There's music history, great character development, and a heroine you want to root for here, making this a great graphic novel to give to tweens and early teens, who will relate to the frustrating, sometimes frightening, changes that come with the territory."-Mom Read It, "In this work by a married creator pair, Chiki's bandes dessinées-style illustrations feature thin lines, flat colors, and character close-ups. This book deserves all your loving when it comes out on July 27th from First Second." "This book is definitely not one to read in one sitting, go take a break and then come back to it. Though the story rarely pauses for dramatic moments, Brinkman's ( Up High in the Trees, for adults) characters wade through tender interactions, resulting in a soft and endearing look into a preteen world." - Publishers Weekly " Brinkman deftly captures how friendships ebb and flow."- Kirkus " Lucy in the Sky is more than the Beatles, but if they're the reason you pick this book up, that's terrific. "In this work by a married creator pair, Chiki's bandes dessinées-style illustrations feature thin lines, flat colors, and character close-ups.

The son of a trickster6/27/2023 He financially supports his unemployed father and his mother’s addiction, erratic behaviour, and love life, are a constant source of stress. His northern town, Kitimat, is being torn apart by a pipeline debate, with one side for jobs, and the other fighting to protect the land. The story’s protagonist, Jared, lives in the basement of his mom’s house and gets by selling drugs to other kids at school. This unique, genuinely surprising novel is a blend of difficult coming-of-age story, with mythic fiction, and it is powerfully subversive. She weaves together traditional Indigenous narratives, with contemporary tales of violence and survival. Robinson is a member of British Columbia’s Haisla and Heiltsuk First Nations. The second title, Trickster Drift, was also a bestseller and the third volume, Return of the Trickster, is set to be released in March 2021. The first book in Robinson’s Trickster trilogy, Son of a Trickster, was nominated for the Scotiabank Giller Prize and Canada Reads 2020. Son of a Trickster is a 2017 coming of age novel by Eden Robinson. Books like the thousandth floor6/27/2023 Trigger Warning: Rape scene that was brushed off as seduction. Participation of incest (Semi?) from one of the main characters, including a brief yet prominent part of the story. Not for the reader like me looking for something wittier and smarter. Recommendation: For Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars fans (perhaps) and casual chick-lit oriented readers who don’t mind a fast pace, contrived and rather confusing read. A guilty pleasure for the meaningless chick-lit drama readers wrapped in a well written and clever package. “Up here on the roof, so close to the stars, she felt young and alive and hateful.”Ī superficial, drama filled novel with a couple of whinny characters who beg to be called complex. The digital divide mark bauerlein6/27/2023 But The Digital Divide doesn't take sides. With The Dumbest Generation, Mark Bauerlein emerged as the foremost voice against the development of an overwhelming digital social culture. But others are deeply concerned by the eroding of civility online, declining reading habits, withering attention spans, and the treacherous effects of 24/7 peer pressure on our young. Some see the technological breakthroughs we live with as hopeful and democratic new steps in education, information gathering, and human progress. Twitter, Facebook, e-publishing, blogs, distance-learning and other social media raise some of the most divisive cultural questions of our time. This definitive work on the perils and promise of the social- media revolution collects writings by today's best thinkers and cultural commentators, with an all-new introduction by Bauerlein. Diaries, 1910-1923 by Franz Kafka6/26/2023 Thus he knows two things at once, and both with equal assurance: that there is no God, and that there must be a God. “In Kafka we have before us the modern mind splendidly trained for the great game of pretending that the world it comprehends in sterilized sobriety is the only and ultimate reality there is-yet a mind living in sin with the soul of Abraham. They offer an account of a life of almost unbearable intensity. They provide a penetrating look into life in Prague and into Kafka’s accounts of his dreams, his feelings for the father he worshipped and the woman he could not bring himself to marry, his sense of guilt, and his feelings of being an outcast. These diaries cover the years 1910 to 1923, the year before Kafka’s death at the age of forty. Perfect for the upcoming hellscape brought on by August's unrelenting heat, alternates between poignant and hilarious (depending on your state of mind, sense of humor, and whether or not you have air conditioning). Leigh bardugo new book 20236/26/2023 But when it comes to pleasure reading, it’s all about mood and recommendations from friends. Right now I’m writing a historical fantasy, so research is dictating all of my reading.

It has heart, humor, beautiful mythology. I’ve given it to kids, adults, even my mom, who I don’t think has ever picked up a comic book.

House of hollow sisters6/25/2023 Shadowed by her two larger than life siblings, Iris is authentic in her reluctance to play the rescuer to her older sister, especially when the story Grey told them of their past becomes more and more suspicious. Readers familiar with changeling lore might have an idea of where this is going, but the tale takes several unpredictable and disturbing turns, and Sutherland maximizes tension by playing into familiar tropes and then tearing away from them with a disorienting but intriguing suddenness. This is slow-burn horror with imagery steeped in the senses: the sour smell of rot and decaying bodies, the hot iron taste of a bloody mouth, the sight of an ant crawling out of a wound and rank flowers being pulled from bone-deep cuts. Unfortunately, any façade of a simple life goes out the window when Grey goes missing again, and Vivi and Iris find themselves hunted by a menacing man while they follow the bizarre and dangerous clues Grey seems to have left them, leading them right back to that Scottish road. Enigmatic and gorgeous, the two older sisters now thrive on attention and chaos-Grey’s a fashion icon and Vivi is in a punk band-but seventeen-year-old Iris craves normalcy. The Hollow sisters captured global attention ten years ago when they vanished from a small road in Scotland only to reappear in the same place a month later, mostly uninjured but with no memory of what happened to them.

After a massive storm washes through Knobb’s Ferry strange things start to happen. Time to put you on the hot seat.Īlly: Ghost Girl is the story of Zee – a spooky story-loving, tow-headed, stubborn girl – her best friend Elijah and her bully turned buddy Nellie.
