I know this book will stay with me for a long time. ![]() I think all kids will have a hard time forgetting the story and characters, and more importantly I think over time they will recall and re evaluate their own thoughts regarding the personal weight of school shootings, gun ownership, sibling loss, responsibility, and maybe even the possibility of time travel. This middle grades read is absolutely wonderful and emotionally gripping. Considering I’m still emotionally attached to the two alternating voices in the book, I’m going to claim the latter, and just be grateful that I was privy to follow the two girls for 288 pages and let the impression the book left me with overpower the curiosity I have to know everything about their past and their futures. Hence, I don’t know to be irritated or impressed that I care enough about the characters to want to know more. Usually when a book leaves me with a lot of questions, it is because the author’s writing was incomplete or flawed, this book however, left me with a lot of questions and I’m certain the author did this deliberately. ![]() The black dagger5/10/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ward or her work, I cannot recommend this book enough!

Fed up with living under Darkseid’s tyrannical rule, the duo fled to Earth. Scott grew up on the hellish landscape that is Apokolips without ever knowing his true heritage, but there was one glimmer of light: that’s where he met his eventual wife, Big Barda. So Darkseid of Apokolips swapped his son Orion for Scott Free, the son of Highfather of New Genesis. Long ago, two warring worlds of gods decided to broker a peace treaty, and part of the deal included an exchanging of heirs. Mister Miracle’s origin is one of tragedy and triumph. ![]() ![]() She escaped slavery - apparently with the assistance of Jefferson himself. Harriet Hemings followed a different path. Once they returned home, however, the sisters found their options limited by the laws and customs of early America.

Significant strides have been made in recent years in the movement for LGBTQ+ rights, visibility and empowerment, but the conversation is far from over. ![]() ![]() ![]() Shapland writes that it exists “in the fluid distance between the writer and her subject, in the fashioning of a self… on the page”, which sounds exciting Katie Roiphe’s recent The Power Notebooks is on this territory and it’s brilliant. ![]() My Autobiography of Carson McCullers, as its too-clever-by-half-sounding title implies, is neither memoir nor biography. It would be up to her to put the record straight. With their genteel euphemisms (“companions”, “roommates”, “crushes”) and their obsession with McCullers’s husband, Reeves, whom the author married twice, those “burglars” had, she insisted to herself, effectively erased the writer’s sexuality. Feeling possessive, Shapland dismissed those she saw as her rivals, otherwise known as McCullers’s biographers. Objects, she found, offered her a McCullers that she could touch, even smell. Asked what she wanted to do for her second-year project at the library, she chose the personal effects collections, where she catalogued McCullers’s extraordinary clothes: her embroidered vests, the nightgowns she liked to wear under a coat, a gold lamé jacket with a magenta lining that still had a Saks tag on it. Within a year, she had begun “calling myself a lesbian for the first time”. Within a week, she had cut her hair short. But now she was captivated – and something shifted inside her. ![]() “Books seem to find me when I’m ready for them,” she writes, a statement that forewarns the reader, early on, of the Jenn-centred universe of her book. Shapland had not read McCullers’s novels. ![]() |
