A mix of adventure and paranormal set around the French Revolution, with teen protagonists and mustache twirling style baddies. I wished the girl would had fought back some more, but her quiet courage and composure made up for it. The book is big on self-acceptance too, with most characters having...
I’d been in battle since dawn. Like my comrades, I’d fought for all I was worth, though I knew ours was a hopeless cause. About me lay the dead and the dying, their blood – our blood – made the carpet of leaves more crimson than autumn had intended. Tinder is one of those slightly eerie, engrossi...
Inizio: 16 aprileFinito: 19 aprile Voto: 5/5 Consigliato: Si Ho aspettato così tanto per questo libro che non sapevo se avere aspettative immense o rassegnarmi a un libretto senza capo ne coda (come me ne capitano spesso tra le mani... purtroppo) L'ho iniziato quindi emozionata e titubante, pr...
Inhalt: Was wäre, wenn der zweite Weltkrieg anders ausgegangen wäre? Wenn ein grausames, totalitäres Regime die Weltherrschaft an sich reißen wollte? Würden wir brav unser armseliges Leben in Zone 7 leben, bei den Ratten und Fliegen, in ständiger Angst vor den Ledermantelmännern? Würden wir vor der ...
This book. This tiny, amazing, horrific book.It's difficult to get my thoughts in order.On page four, I fell in love with the voice. I was absolutely involved with the protagonist and his story. Maggot Moon is definitely written with a less-is-more approach in mind, and it really works. The MC, Stan...
I picked up Maggot Moon because I was interested in reading a book with a dyslexic MC. The book is well-written, I just think that I've read many other stories with this type of "historical twist" which worked better for me.
So I didn't like this one as much as I did with the other books. I felt like Emily, for me the main character, barely got any attention. And there are just too many characters and I was confused at times. First Emily, then Fidget, then Gravel, then Herbie and so on and on. We also got multiple plot ...
Maggot Moon is a weird adventure and I had a bit of trouble keeping up with all the activity in the book, as it seemed that the jargon that Standish was using just didn’t click with me. The Motherland, the leather-coat man, the Greenflies just didn’t fit for me as I realized that I was trying to rea...
Wanted to read this for a long time, didn't get around to it until today, couple days after the Printz nod. Ever have those characters you fall in love with? Standish Treadwell is one of those. This story, wow. So unique. I sat down with this and didn't move until I'd finished. Definitely a one-sitt...
This was a hoot. I read it aloud to my seven year old daughter at bedtime over four nights, and we loved it enough that I ordered the next two from the UK. (This comes out in February from Macmillan.) In brief: infant Emily Vole is found in a hatbox in an airport, and adopted by two shallow people...
