Abby is one of the funniest and snarkiest characters I’ve ever read. What follows is a fun, exciting adventure where Abby and Jonah do their best to set this fairy tale to rights so they can find their way home. But…oops! Their bravery might just rob Snow White of her happy ending. They find themselves in a forest and quickly make a daring rescue. One night, her brother drags her down to the basement with reports of something strange going on with the old mirror and, when Abby goes to investigate, they are pulled inside! Ten-year-old Abby and her 7-year-old brother, Jonah, have just moved to Smithville. In Fairest of All, Abby and Jonah navigate and change the storyline just enough to make it their own (and, frankly, better for a modern audience). Mlynowski manages to pay homage to the classic fables but still adds a modern twist. But no damsel spends very long waiting for her knight in shining armour once Abby and Jonah show up. Sarah Mlynowski sends sister and brother team Abby and Jonah into the middle of our favourite fairy tales in her Whatever After series. And then, fingers crossed, find our way home.If Snow White doesn’t die, she won’t get to meet her prince. The next minute? The mirror in our basement slurped us up and magically transported us inside Snow White’s fairy tale.īut hey - we’re heroes! We stopped Snow White from eating the poisoned apple. Once upon a time, my brother and I were normal kids.

Years later, young Pete Saubers discovers what turns out to be a saving grace for his family struggling against recession: a trunk full of lovely lolly and a bundle of old diaries. Bellamy confronts Rothstein, leading to a shocking death, and the loss of several diaries written by the latter. Morris Bellamy, a huge fan of reclusive author John Rothstein, is furious that his idol has stopped writing, and that Johnny Gold (Rothstein’s fictional character) has been turned into a slave to advertising. King’s narrative, studded with the stylistic flourishes that makes his work so uniquely his own, switches back and forth between two obsessive young men, and two timelines - 19. King overlays it with an equally compelling theme, of how literature and books can become an alternative universe for some of us, and how we can feel more alive and “real” in that world than in ours. In his latest novel, Finders Keepers, Stephen King returns to one of his most compelling scenarios, one that he laid out for us in his much older Misery: the raging, corrosive love of a fan, that can turn fatal if thwarted. If you like one, you'll probably like them all. SECRETS, LIES, & CRAWFISH PIES by Abby L. With a dash of humor, a dollop of Southern charm, and a peek at current social issues in the mix, it's a fun romp around East Texas to solve a murder mystery of the cozy kind. Together, Romaine and Auntie Zanne set off to solve it. But her plans are derailed when the Ball Funeral Home, bursting at the seams with dead bodies, has a squatter stiff.Īuntie Zanne can't abide by a murderer using her funeral home as the dumping grounds for their crimes, and Romaine doesn't want her newly elected cousin, Sheriff Pogue Folsom, to fail on his first murder case. Hanging on to the magic of her Louisiana roots, she's cooked up a love potion or two-if she could only get Romaine to drink it. She's a member in a number of ladies' auxiliaries and clubs, including being in charge of the Tri-County Annual Crawfish Boil and Music Festival. Suzanne Babet Derbinay, Romaine's Auntie Zanne and proprietor of the Ball Funeral Home, has long since traded her French Creole upbringing for Big Texas attitude. With few other options, she's forced to return to her hometown of Roble in East Texas, leaving behind the man she's dating and the life she's worked hard to build. Romaine Wilder, big-city medical examiner with a small-town past, has been downsized and evicted. The verse and images follow a bedtime trajectory (“here’s a pillow/ and here’s a song/ for when you go to bed”) but contain enough energy to be read anytime: “and here is a map/ with an x on the spot/ to find your way/ home to me.” Robinson extends classic picture book scenes of play and home life to show all sorts of children finding magic in all kinds of places.

When not weaving romantic tales, she can be found working side by side with her husband in their furniture restoration business, where she weaves caned chairs instead.Īliya is a paranormal/urban fantasy writer and is the author of the Jessica Sweet Trilogy. In 1992, Aliya met her immortal beloved, and they have been inseparable ever since. Those dreams were put on hold when life intervened (as life often does), and she moved on with other pursuits.Īfter graduation, and a brief time living in England, Aliya returned to her home town, where she worked mainly in administrative positions, but her love for books never waned. And of course, romance.Īliya’s first love was musical theater, and as a teenager she dreamed of one day performing on Broadway. Surrounded by corn and cows, it was not unusual for Aliya to immerse herself in books, her way of escaping the humdrum small town life to visit fantastic lands full of mystery, myth and legend. Born and raised in a farming community in rural Southwest Ohio, Aliya DalRae grew up a middle child, with an older and younger brother. And, as in any other ancestral saga (being part-myth and part-autobiography) 'we, the people' are holding out and holding forth on the verge of species extinction. In this context, what we have made out of the technological capital available since the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution is an epoch in which sociology becomes history or perhaps a tragic-comic tale. In this book, they take sociology on a trip across the universe - the cosmic order - in which the place, status and future of homo sapiens appears increasingly threatened and at risk. The authors, Dickens and Omrod, take their cue from Best and Kellner's ( 2001) reconnection of the missing human link between what is perceived through both the microscopic and the telescopic lenses of scientific instrumentation. Cosmic Society: Towards a Sociology of the UniverseĬosmologically speaking, Cosmic Sociology: Towards a Sociology of the Universe brings humanity back into the big picture, which (since Kepler, Copernicus, Newton and the gang) has been progressively occluded from the grander scientific worldview. |
