![]() Together, Nathaniel and Ben will travel farther than anyone has ever gone, down a winding road full of magic, wonder, and unexpected friendship*. The plan is to follow the river on their bikes for as long as it takes to learn the truth, but it isn't long before the pact is broken by all except for Ben and (much to Ben's disappointment) Nathaniel, the one kid who just doesn't seem to fit in. Legend has it that after drifting out of sight, they'll soar off to the Milky Way and turn into brilliant stars, but could that actually be true? This year, Ben and his classmates are determined to find out where those lanterns really go, and to ensure success in their mission, they've made a pact with two simple rules: No one turns for home. It's the night of the annual Autumn Equinox Festival, when the town gathers to float paper lanterns down the river. ![]() Ryan Andrews's This Was Our Pact is an astonishing, magical-realist adventure story for middle-grade readers. ![]() A 2019 Kirkus Reviews Best Books of the YearĪ 2019 Parents Magazine Best Children's Books of the Year ![]()

Well, let's imagine for a second that HP wasn't so much about wizards as it was about alchemists, and that Harry didn't go to Hogwarts but instead went to The Great Library in Alexandria, Egypt. So you might be wondering where the Harry Potter part comes in. "The truth was what the library wanted it to be." The main character - Jess - is indeed a book thief, and they're are people called Burners who (you guessed it!) burn books for political protest in this alternate world where the Great Library rules. ![]() I might complain every time I read that ridiculous "X meets Y" marketing strategy, but I have to admit that Harry Potter meets The Book Thief meets Fahrenheit 451 is a pretty good descriptor for this book. Books, alchemy, secret tunnels, books, friendships, rivalries, books and villains who become heroes? Oh, and did I mention books? Oh so many books. ![]() ![]() Countryįree shipping with every order of €100.00 or moreįree shipping from an order of €50.00 or moreįree shipping from an order of €150.00 or moreįree shipping with every order of €150.00 or moreįree shipping for purchases of €100.00 or moreįree shipping for purchases of €150.00 or moreįree shipping with every order of €40.00 or moreįree shipping from every order of €150.00 or moreįree shipping with every order of €150.

These central areas tend to be the starting point for shifts that occur on the future maps. When we look at the first set of maps we will notice each discipline on the map has a central location where most of members of this field derive from. ![]() These shifts can be attributed to many different factors. Each map has its own grouping and each can be analyzed to help reflect on the time period the map is from.Īs we look at each time period we can notice shifts from one area to another. ![]() The first quartet of maps ranges from 1400 to 1600, the second tracks the years 1600 to1800, and the last grouping of map ranges from 1800 to 1950.

He basically took data that some would assume to be purely statistical and turned it into a form that can be placed on a map. ![]() Jacobs decided to map something that most people would find impossible to map-what areas in Europe were producing influential figures in the four disciplines of science, literature, art, and music.

The context of Henry’s problem is in the metaphor in this case: And, unfortunately, Henry’s problem is in direct conflict with Addie’s own peculiar problem. “There is something about him that keeps catching her attention, snagging it the way a nail snags a sweater.” Henry’s Problem It’s not often a guy like Henry comes along in Addie’s life and when he does no mere Valentine’s card metaphor will do: “The market sits like a cluster of old wives at the edge of the park.” Henryīeing blessed-or burdened-with immortality gives new meaning to the phrase “plenty of other fish in the sea.” If you think finding the one perfect soulmate is hard, imagine trying to find a handful every century. Like for instance, the pure simplicity of language but deceptive complexity of the imagery here: ![]() The trick is not identifying the use of this literary device, but rather in choosing which are your favorite examples.

Artists have a bad reputation in historical romance. I'll be honest and tell you that I prefer titled regency heroes, I have a soft spot for earls, marquess and barons but I'm mostly fond of Dukes. Once I started this book, I found myself immersed in the story. I'm suddenly realizing that Jeffries is an automatic buy author for me, her books are the perfect blend of sensuous romance, emotional angst and superb writing.
