The teacher and other adults in the story seemed to delight in other’s misfortunes while Sarah felt deep empathy towards them and tried her best to help them. In all honesty, the imaginative and optimistic Sarah was a much better teacher to the girls at the school. I loved reading about Sarah and the teacher that is jealous of her. And like a child, the author can also be bluntly honest which made me laugh. How this resourceful girl's fortunes change again is at the center of A Little Princess, one of the best-loved stories in all of children's literature.įrances Hodgson Burnett’s way of writing, even in the author’s note, has a whimsical, magical child-like tone to it that is very endearing. Now penniless and banished to a room in the attic, Sara is demeaned, abused, and forced to work as a servant. Sara Crewe, an exceptionally intelligent and imaginative student at Miss Minchin's Select Seminary for Young Ladies, is devastated when her adored, indulgent father dies. Paulo Freire’s work has helped to empower countless people throughout the world and has taken on special urgency in the United States and Western Europe, where the creation of a permanent underclass among the underprivileged and minorities in cities and urban centers is ongoing. Pedagogy of the Oppressed is one of the foundational texts in the field of critical pedagogy, which attempts to help students question and challenge domination, and the beliefs and practices that dominate.įirst published in Portuguese in 1968, Pedagogy of the Oppressed was translated and published in English in 1970. Good Wives takes up the story of the March sisters, some three years later, when as young adults they must face up to the inevitable trials and traumas of everyday life in their search for individual happiness.Ī classic but wonderful story for children and adults alike. The story of their domestic adventures, their attempts to increase the family income, their friendship with the neighbouring Laurence family, and their later love affairs remains as fresh and beguiling as ever. Meg, the eldest, is pretty and wishes to be a lady Jo, at fifteen is ungainly and unconventional with an ambition to be an author Beth is a delicate child of thirteen with a taste for music and Amy is a blonde beauty of twelve. It describes the family life of the four March sisters living in a small New England community. Little Women is one of the best-loved children's stories of all time, based on the author's own youthful experiences. “One of my favorite voices in the knitting world brings us this clever take on socks that eliminates the dreaded second sock syndrome. Knit 2 Socks in 1 is a tried-and-true sock-knitting technique that allows knitters from all backgrounds to join in on the fun. Much like choosing an alternate ending in a classic “Choose Your Own Adventure” book, the knitter can choose from 21 different sock styles, featuring a wide range of stitch patterns, design elements, levels of difficulty, and sizes ranging from child to adult. The heels and toes are worked with a simple two-row repeat and are finished with a “hat closure,” a novice knitting technique often used to close the tops of hats. With the help of a lifeline (scrap yarn that is threaded through stitches to hold them in place), the knitter can easily separate the long tube into two socks. The knitter can then relax and knit a long tube, which makes up the main body of both socks. This innovative technique begins with making the first sock’s cuff. Knit 2 Socks in 1 introduces a distinctive new method that will appeal to sock knitters of all levels as the simplest, most accessible way yet developed to knit two socks at a time. Socks continue to be a favorite project of knitters, but “single sock syndrome” - losing interest in knitting that second sock after the first one is done - is the perpetual dilemma. Because sometimes it takes a whole week of Mondays to figure out what you really want. Will Ellie ever figure out how to fix this broken day? Or will she be stuck in this nightmare of a Monday forever?įrom the author of 52 Reasons to Hate My Father and The Unremembered trilogy comes a hilarious and heartwarming story about second (and third and fourth and fifth) chances. But it seems no matter how many do-overs she gets or how hard Ellie tries to repair her relationship, Tristan always seems bent set on ending it. So when she wakes up the next morning to find she’s reliving the exact same day, she knows what she has to do: stop her boyfriend from breaking up with her. And Ellie is positive that if she could just do it all over again, she would get it right. For no good reason!Īs far as Mondays go, it doesn’t get much worse than this. Book:- 'A Week of Mondays' by Jessica Brody Genre:- Young Adult, Occult Fiction Have you ever wondered how your life would be like if you were stuck on the worst day of your life until you could. I have already reviewed two of her books before, so you might be familiar with her. She gets a ticket for running a red light, she manages to take the world’s worst school picture, she bombs softball try-outs and her class election speech (note to self: never trust a cheerleader when she swears there are no nuts in her bake-sale banana bread), and to top it all off, Tristan, her gorgeous rocker boyfriend suddenly dumps her. Hello Novellians Today I would be reviewing 'A Week of Mondays', written by Jessica Brody. Sixteen-year-old Ellison Sparks is having a serious case of the Mondays. I never, in a million years, thought it might actually come true. When I made the wish, I just wanted a do-over. Again there was no camping space available so we parked in the street near the gate at 4pm on Friday and did not move Belle until 4pm on Sunday. Kangaroo Valley is a beautiful location for the festival and we had a sunny weekend. Getting back into the festival groove, we went to the Kangaroo Valley Folk Festival in October. All the caravan parks were full so we slept in the street. The Kiama Folk Festival was a great day’s entertainment in September – we drove down in Belle, went to the festival at 10am and got back to Belle at 11pm. This is the map of our route to Queensland and the location of the two folk festivals close to Sydney. Finishing off our 2022 travels with a short blog covering a third 2022 Queensland trip, visiting friends, attending a rally, beach camping and music festivals in keeping with a change to shorter trips for the new grandparents. I am only giving this book 4 stars because of the lengthy epigraphs at the start of each chapter. It's not a nice, crisp and correct "designer" narration - but it's emotionally riveting and very well matched to the material. Mary Karr as a narrator sounds rather harsh at the start - but after a few chapters one gets accustomed to the "lived in" voice. Well worth the effort to stay the course, however. Things are more rhythmic and measured as the book progresses, but the beginning chapters are not at all linear. This is not a sparse, lean style - it's more complex and indirect and you have to pay attention. Her writing is smart and not always direct, and her language is surgically precise. The author successfully navigates the parallel paths of intellectual elitism, drugs, sobriety, family, relationships, sex, religion, financial dysfunction and everything in between.
