It is a book with resonance for all children, especially those whose safety is threatened due to the immigration crisis in the US. Yuyi Morales’ first book since her New York Times bestseller Dreamers is a book for very young children looking for their place in a world full of uncertainty.

From the creator of the New York Times bestseller Dreamers comes a beautiful story about growth, empowerment, and finding one’s own voice.

The movie adaptation is very well done, but it leaves out much of the subtlety and character development the Golding provides. While this is probably not great literature, and it may not make you a better person, it may very likely provide you with excellent entertainment. There are numerous great scenes ("For you see, I am also not left-handed" and "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya" come to mind), and the dialog, while uneven, is at time sublime. Golding's finely crafted prose maintains your interest, and the humorous intent gradually builds. The plot is full of twists and turns, and while it's entirely suitable for young adults, the book shortly reveals itself as gently crafted sendup of both romance and adventure. William Goldman the narrator is a little boy who isnt into sports and is somewhat of an introvert up until he develops pneumonia. Most simply, it is an action filled romance, set in medieval times, chronicling tribulations a young farm boy who leaves home to make his fortune and so win the love of Buttercup. A few stop in to see if they can get a bite of food. They pass by alone or in groups, walking or with some sort of vehicle. Various people come past on the roads in front of the Georgenhoff, an old and now rundown family estate not too far from Koenigsberg which was then in East Prussia, Germany, or Prussia and then Poland, but is now a part of Russia. We, the readers of the 21st century, know what’s going to happen but the characters don’t although they certainly suspect that’s in the works. It’s amazing what a good author can do – because the setting is 1945 in northern East Prussia just as the Russians are about to march through en route to Berlin. And yes, almost every night for weeks I would curl up with it, become enchanted and promptly fallen asleep.Īhhhh… it is so good I wanted to crawl into it and curl up to live there – and stop time. I’ve been reading this book for a long time – there is no Audible available for it so I have the Kindle version and I went to bed each night meaning to get a bit more read.

Tarred by the media as "the most racist town in America", the people of Liberty face tangled questions of whether racism or insanity were at the root of a white teenager's violent assault of his black classmate, and whether the community as a whole can be implicated? The Crime of Being explores the effects of a racial incident-how it divides a seemingly homogenous community over the course of a summer and exposes its dark secrets. It's an ideal day for tanning and partying in the park until Shawnee Padrushky, age 17, drives up in his dad's new pick-up and comes out shooting with one victim in mind-Gunther Smith-the only black student in Shawnee's class, the adopted son of white parents.
