What happens when a twelve-year-old boy goes through such a growth spurt that he looks like he’s thirty? Well, in the case of Liam, inadvertent space travel. And if it has, we’re one step closer to having a space-based chapter book that everyone can enjoy. Because by then Cosmic by Frank Cottrell Boyce should hopefully have found its readership. But let me call you back in fifteen years and maybe your answer will be different. But how many of them are classics? How many of them are memorable? How many could you tell to the person on the street and get a spark of recognition in return? For now, none. Oh, there are tons of books where kids go to space, sure. Where are the books about kids in space that have remained within the public consciousness? Fact of the matter is, there aren’t any. The kind we blasted into in the 1960s and then never returned to. What’s that? You can’t think of any significant children’s books that took place in space? Would The Little Prince count? I guess so, but that’s not really the kind of space I mean. Now just pluck out for me the ones that took place in outer space. The ones that encouraged you to consider the world around you. The ones you still think about sometimes. Think about the books you read when you were a child. ![]()

![]() As the glory of God left them, so too did the godly compass that once inspired them to make right choices. When Adam and Eve sinned, their actions created a separation from God. In fact Adam and Eve where the first to make such a deal. Now such a practice is older than sin itself and has affected people throughout all time. The motivation has been to gain some sort of worldly advantage success, fame and ultimate self glory.

She focuses specifically on what she terms “scopic capitalism”-how the modern free market creates economic value primarily through images. Illouz has studied the relationship between love and capitalism for twenty years, and in this book she describes the ways that consumer culture has shaped social bonds. I hadn’t been able to understand fully why it “wasn’t working” until I read Eva Illouz’s book The End of Love: A Sociology of Negative Relations. I haven’t had much fun, and I haven’t found a mate.

The Book of Margery Kempe, which was dictated at least in part by Kempe, who may have been illiterate or had only limited literacy, gives a detailed account of Kempe’s life experiences from the time of her first pregnancy when she was around twenty years old, until she was in her mid-sixties. Kempe was born in Norfolk in c. 1373, the daughter of a relatively prosperous and distinguished East Anglian merchant who had served as mayor and member of Parliament for the borough of Bishop’s Lynn, now King’s Lynn. Margery Kempe was a late medieval English visionary and is, arguably, the author of the first autobiography known to have been written in the English language. ![]() ![]() ![]() Along the way to save Gio, amid conflicted feelings of betrayal and affection for Hap, Vic must decide for himself: can he accept love with strings attached?

His friendship with Larry was broken, and then Silas left town. The incident shook the county-and perhaps Silas most of all. She was never found and Larry never confessed, but all eyes rested on him as the culprit. But then tragedy struck: Larry took a girl on a date to a drive-in movie, and she was never heard from again. Yet for a few months the boys stepped outside of their circumstances and shared a special bond. Their worlds were as different as night and day: Larry, the child of lower-middle-class white parents, and Silas, the son of a poor, single black mother. ![]() In the late 1970s, Larry Ott and Silas "32" Jones were boyhood pals.

I first met Lynette when I travelled down to Melbourne Supanova (mainly to meet Tyler Hoechlin aka Derek Hales from Teen Wolf). While waiting for that to happen, she creates her own fantasy worlds and enjoys spending time with the characters she meets along the way”. She was devastated when her Hogwarts letter didn’t arrive, but she consoled herself by looking inside every wardrobe she could find, and she’s still determined to find her way to Narnia one day. ![]() ![]() She has always been an avid reader and most of her childhood was spent lost in daydreams of far-off places and magical worlds. “Lynette Noni grew up on a farm in outback Australia until she moved to the beautiful Sunshine Coast and swapped her mud-stained boots for sand-splashed flip-flops. I’ll put synopsis of the book below before I begin my review but I thought I’d give a background story on Lynette. Hi everyone! Today I’m going to be doing my first review from a book which I recently read (obviously haha), it’s called Akarnae (pronounced ARE-CAR-NAY) by Lynette Noni. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Similar to how the community in Milkman is prone to gossip and drags the narrator through a circus of nosy suppositions, they are also is a xenophobic, violent bunch with no patience for any loyalties “over there.” ![]() ![]() A passionate mechanic, he happens upon the parts to a wrecked Blower Bentley, one of which features the insignia of the UK flag. Meanwhile, her “maybe-boyfriend” is in a different sort of trouble. Known by her small community as “the milkman”, the man stalks the narrator into a nightmare of gossip and lies, undeterred by her political apathy and romantic disinterest. He seems to be following her and watching her, and while this sort of surveillance wasn’t unheard of by local military figures at the time, she was nobody worth surveilling. Burns’ narrator is a thoughtful eighteen-year-old woman with a racing mind and a penchant for keeping to herself, but to some comes across as a “pale, adamantine, unyielding girl who walks around with the entrenched, boxed-in thinking.” She’d be happy keeping her head down, but is unnerved by the sudden presence of a strange man lurking in her life. Compellingly anxious and paranoid, Anna Burns’ Milkman (winner of the 2018 Booker Prize) is a timely, rambling novel set in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. ![]() ![]() ![]() At the same time, I love adventure stories.
