I didn't get a chance to explain I was being sly, not shy. I tried not to mind too much. Even Dame Judi Dench would find it hard to get a special cheer if she had to play a stoat.

Simon, who stands out, ironically, because he wears that drabbest of hues, gray, observes that his mother loves Continue reading »

Ten-year-old British twins Ruby and Garnet take turns narrating this broad comedy, a winner of the Smarties Prize; PW described it as ""an unexceptional mix of familiar plot devices."" Ages 9-12. Continue reading » Jacqueline is also a great reader, and has amassed over 20,000 books, along with her famous collection of silver rings. Miss Gilmore, who's head of English and drama, had us all in, Toad of Toad Hall when we were in Year Seven. I so wanted to be Toad, but Miss Gilmore chose Fatboy Sam. Typecasting. Though he was good. Very good. But I have this mad, totally secret idea that I could have been better. Even @Hapfairy herself seemed slightly confused about her suggestion: 'I don't have a clue how to connect the two, but I could never find anything I liked as much as Jacqueline Wilson until I read Terry Pratchett!' she told us. 'It was love at first read...' Hey, if it worked for her, it might work for you, too...

Under normal circumstances, I don't know that I would ever have read Jacqueline Wilson. I didn't discover her during my childhood, and as an adult, I don't think this would really have become an author on my radar. Normal circumstances, however, do not take into consideration my extreme stubbornness and the existence of the BBC's Big Read List. Due to the two in conjunction, I think this is my third Wilson book. I have to say, while they probably aren't something I would have sought out even as a child, they're not bad.

What is different is the way the characters deal with the grief brought on by death. It's written extremely simply and at times the protagonists' narrative was utterly annoying and devoid of anything particularly... enlightening (though what does one expect from a teenager, really) but it does offer up a different approach that I think, at the time the book was published, was not readily available. Yawns are contagious among people, but what if animals could “catch” yawns, too? Symes employs repeating rhymed verse to show a chain of yawns that pass from a boy to various animals, with a circular Continue reading »Parents with single-minded, unconventional tastes are the source of much amusement for their conservatively dressed son; ""an eye-boggling feast of extroverted colors and shapes,"" said PW.
