The bright, happy pictures show the joy on the child's face and the superhero stance really gives off the sense of confidence and belonging, no matter what they are playing with or talking about their shadow. It is just normal for them, rather than usual journey from shyness/fear to happy/confident we often see in books. This is such a lovely message and it is wonderful that from the beginning of the book the child is happy with and understands their purple shadow. My Shadow is Purple is a rhyming text about how everyone is unique and being yourself.Īlthough the main message is about breaking gender norms I think this book takes it a step further.ĭad's shadow is blue and Mum's shadow is pink, both of these stereotypical colour-gender relationships are described beautifully through how the child knows others see the world.īut the child is confident that although Mum is pink, she is still strong, and although Dad is blue he is still caring. The author made Genna more plump and ordinary than we're used to in this genre. There are a few things that make this read fresh and unconventional. Genna and Abi's chemistry is electric and it's fun to watch them together. In other words, I could see their issues playing out in real life. Both are smitten for each other but both feel it's inappropriate to act on the feelings due to real obstacles, not throwaway ones that sometimes get inserted to force conflicts in a story. Abi is fourteen years Genna's senior, a single mother of a young girl with Down Syndrome, and she's just as smart and witty. Genna is a character having a great heart, a backbone, and plenty of sarcasm/wit. And *yes* this hit that perfect sweet spot! I actually started this as a new book to read on my exercise bike and ended up needing to finish it before the night was over.so I basically read it in one sitting. I wanted something funny, that wasn't too dramatic but not necessarily fluff, either.and it definitely needed two likable leads that *hopefully* ::blowing on the dice and rolling it:: wouldn't be insta-love. I'll tell you what I was looking for when I picked this out. The investigation remains without success, and eventually two more girls disappear. John Rebus is meanwhile assigned to the investigative team. He suspects that his brother John, a Lothian and Borders Police officer, knows or even supports his brother's illegal activities. Journalist Jim Stevens runs his own investigation, and has uncovered Michael Rebus's drug dealing. Edinburgh has been shocked by the abduction and subsequent strangling of two young girls. In the introduction to this novel, Rankin states that Rebus lives directly opposite the window in Marchmont that he looked out of while writing the book.ġ985. It was written while Rankin was a postgraduate student at the University of Edinburgh. It is the first of the Inspector Rebus novels. Knots and Crosses (also written Knots & Crosses) is a 1987 crime novel by Ian Rankin. Swann's Way tells two related stories, the first of which revolves around Marcel, a younger version of the narrator, and his experiences in, and memories of, the French town Combray. A third-person novella within Swann's Way, "Un Amour de Swann" is sometimes published as a volume by itself. Swann's Way is divided into four parts: "Combray I", "Combray II", "Un Amour de Swann", and "Noms de pays: le nom". When published it was advertised as the first of a three-volume novel. Proust eventually arranged with the publisher Grasset to pay the cost of publication himself. The first part (Swann's Way) was rejected by a number of publishers. Proust continued to work on it until his final illness in the autumn of 1922 forced him to break off. In Search of Lost Time follows the narrator's recollections of childhood and experiences into adulthood during the late 19th century to early 20th century aristocratic France, while reflecting on the loss of time and lack of meaning to the world. Valentin Louis Georges Eugène Marcel Proust, known as Marcel Proust, was a French novelist, critic, and essayist best known for his monumental novel In Search of Lost Time earlier rendered as Remembrance of Things Past. Colin's venturing into the gardens is shown to completely heal him from his conditioned malaise. For example, Dickon's deep knowledge and communion with the plant and animal kingdoms is directly correlated with his compassion and kindness towards other humans. Throughout, a connection with nature is equated with wisdom and well-being. Nature, more specifically the gardens, also serves as the meeting grounds for Mary and Colin to form a powerful alliance that ultimately delivers great healing to the entire Craven household. Nature is what joins Mary together with new friends Dickon and Ben Weatherstaff, who work together to enliven the secret garden. The world of the Yorkshire moor-a land of pure, free nature-is very influential in bringing life back to Mary, whose budding love for nature is said to “blow the cobwebs” of apathy from her brain. Nature plays a considerable role in shaping the events of the story and its characters. This is no formulaic "it's fine for boys to be mermaids" story. There's so much to praise in Julián Is a Mermaid, beginning with its original handling of the subject. In this delightful, mermaid-themed heartwarmer, gender is as fluid as the sea Julián dreams of swimming in. Parents might also be interested to know that the Mermaid Parade is a real event: an annual, spirited spectacle that ushers in summer at New York City's Coney Island. There's not a lot of text, with much of the story revealed via art. Author-illustrator Love depicts a vibrant community where everyone's brown-skinned. But when she brings him to a parade where everyone's dressed in similar costumes, there's relief that Julián has found his tribe. There's definite tension when we don't know how Abuela will react. Julián shares his dream and identity with his abuela, but when he first tries dressing as a mermaid, he does it when he's alone. Parents need to know that Julián Is a Mermaid by Jessica Love is a story about a boy who wants to be a mermaid that will resonate with all kids who have secret dreams. Abuela supports her grandson by giving him a necklace to add to the costume, and by taking him to a parade where everyone's dressed like him. He bravely reveals himself to his abuela, telling her, "I am also a mermaid." When he doesn't get a response, he actively fashions himself as a mermaid, creating his costume with found materials. Julián freely imagines who he is and how he sees himself. In doing so, he fills a gap in the science that has existed for almost a century. Acclaimed physicist and writer Sean Carroll debunks the myths, resurrects and reinstates the Many-Worlds interpretation, and presents a new path towards solving the apparent conflict between quantum mechanics and Einstein's theory of general relativity. Spanning the history of quantum discoveries, from Einstein and Bohr to the present day, Something Deeply Hidden is the essential guide to the most intriguing subject in science. It stands as the best explanation of the fundamental nature of our world. The implications are mind-bending, and not yet fully understood, but this revolutionary theory is truly illuminating.

Unfortunately, in novel length form, you seem to have lost your way. You pack a great deal of emotion in a short amount of space. Most of your prior work that I have found so appealing have been your novellas. Your strengths have always been the emotional connection of your characters your weakness, world building. I think you are one of the best of the epublished authors and was not at all surprised that New York snapped you up. You have almost always been able to capture and convey the emotional connection while still bringing the heat. I’ve read most of your backlist at Ellora’s Cave and really, your books have been the impetus for trying more.
