![]() Middle grade novels are most suitable for readers from 12-15 and are a great way to ‘hold the hands’ of young readers as they walk/read their way from younger fiction…to the world of YA fiction a more gentle transition than if we went from say, junior fiction fairy books to hard core young adult novels with *all* the mature themes! Middle-grade often feature themes of friendships, family, social issues and community or wider world issues, with relateable central characters. This is where ‘middle-grade’ comes into play. It is also a challenging age in terms of book choices as they begin to transition from younger reader books to books for more mature readers. The pressure is on to help them find a balance between reading, social media, socialising, studying and extra-curricular pursuits. ![]() Life gets busy for our young people with homework and after school activities and around the tween years and reading for pleasure often declines, even in children who have previously loved reading. ![]() ![]() by Margarete Fuchs, Anna-Sophie Jürgens, Jörg Schuster, Bielefeld: transcript 2019 (in press)).

The supporting characters were fantastic too and I love I to learn more about their lives. I would love it if James Patterson had that happen! I hope that one day he can walk again, if he gets the required surgery. There were quite a few instances in this book where he tells us how he misses his family who died in a car accident a few years ago and how he wishes he didn't have to be in a wheelchair. ![]() He's a great friend and has a sweet personality and loves to make those around him laugh. I think as the series continues I will grow to love him. I really like Jamie! In the first book I liked him, and in this book he grew on me even more. ![]() I won't say much more, as it will give away the story. In I Even Funnier, Jamie is preparing for the semi-finals in Las Vegas for The Planet's Funniest Kid Comic Contest, trying to ace his exams and trying to find his way through the obstacles in middle-school. I was worried that the I Funny books would be too "middle-grade" with immature humour and no depth, but I surprisingly enjoyed it! And in my opinion, the sequel to I Funny, I Even Funnier, was even better. At the time, I wasn't really sure if I would enjoy it or not, but after reading the first book I was feeling less weary towards it. I received I Even Funnier a few weeks ago to review. ![]() ![]() ![]() She and her dear friend Estlin McPhee ran REVERB, a queer and anti-oppressive reading series, from 2012-2017.

Capitol on January 6, 2021, was a terrible day for American democracy, but many people dared to hope that at least it would break the fever that had overcome the Republican Party and banish Trump's relentless lies about the stealing of the 2020 election. That is not what happened. Instead, “the big steal” has become dogma among an ever-higher percentage of American Republicans. What happened to the Republican Party, and America, during the Trump presidency is a story we more or less think we know. What has happened to the party since, it turns out, is even more disquieting. The disturbing eyewitness account of how a new breed of Republicans-led by Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert, and Madison Cawthorn-far from moving on from Trump, have taken the politics of hysteria to even greater extremes and brought American democracy to the edge One of The Washington Post's 10 Best Books of 2022 Science Fiction & Fantasy - Available Now.Armchair Explorers for Children and Teens. ![]() ![]() Life seems very dull, until out of an old family portrait steps Kay’s great-grandfather, a sea captain, who, if legend is to be believed, made off with a fabulous treasure. ![]() In her zeal to educate Kay on the finer points of Latin grammar, Sylvia Daisy has even taken away all of Kay’s toys.

This means lawyers, wanting to use stories to argue their cases, politicians wanting to tell stories to gain support, businessmen wanting to promote the strengths of their products, doctors wanting to convey health issues. They are the people who have best figured out how to connect with the public, and in so doing advanced the art and science of storytelling.Įveryone who needs to communicate to the general public. That when it comes to mass communication, Hollywood is to be respected rather than ridiculed. The material has been developed in the "CONNECTION Storytelling Workshop" over the past three years which we have conducted with numerous organizations including the National Park Service, the Natural Resource Defense Council, The Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission, and the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography.
