Hey, why not both Nathalie and Marie are 17 years old and best friends. except maybe talking nonsense with your friends. Inside: tons of humor and a beautiful accuracy in human relationships, but also a veil of mystery that makes us even more eager to read to the end!” - Canal BD Camp Spirit, an original graphic novel from Top Shelf/IDW, is all about the outdoors, of course. Axelle Lenoir 3.57 769 ratings123 reviews Teen girls rewrite the universe on a daily basis This comic collection proves theres nothing better than using your imagination. “Axelle Lenoir weaves a sympathetic story around a very endearing heroine. “At first glance, a light and frothy comedy, but little by little it transforms into something wild.” - BDGest There’s a lot readers will enjoy about this coming-of-age camp comedy: romance, a dose of paranormal horror, and laugh-out-loud shenanigans." - School Library Journal ![]() "Funny and believable, with wonderful expressions and amusing dialogue. ![]() ![]() I credit the publisher and author for not feeling as if God must be stricken from her writing. It’s never called grace, not necessarily lauded, but it is there as a strong witness to those who may question why she would do such a thing. ![]() There is also a scene towards the end of incredible grace and forgiveness, completely undeserved, that was the best part of the novel in my opinion. Didn’t see that coming, even from a secondary character. But about 70 percent of the way through, we get a Gospel presentation and Jesus is how we obtain forgiveness for the sin we commit. ![]() At first, most of the references were similar to the one in the back cover blurb, prayers uttered quickly, references to God, but little depth or content. I expected a toned-down spiritual component but was pleasantly surprised to find that wasn’t the case. What, if anything, changes with the storyline, characters or situations? ![]() ![]() I know there has been some backlash in the past for those who have done so, but I personally don’t feel as if the author is abandoning her faith or core audience simply because they publish with a secular printer-it’s about the writing. I knew when I requested this novel that it was published by Berkley Trade, but was hoping Klassen was simply doing as many before her have done: broadening her reach into mainstream romance. Julie Klassen is one of my favorite authors, among the best in the Regency genre, a trusted name on my “automatic buy” list. ![]() ![]() The art depicts and celebrates kids of different races. ![]() ![]() The illustrations by Rafael López fit the text perfectly and are just as welcoming. A teacher pronounces a boy's name "so soft and beautifully that your name and homeland sound like flowers blooming the first bright notes of a song." A girl admires "a jar filled with tiny shells so fragile, they look like they'll turn to dust in your own untraveled hands." Yet the text is never out of reach, and the situations are carefully chosen to be ones kids will relate to - for instance, not getting picked for a team or hesitating to share in class. This sensitive and emotionally astute book about kids feeling like outsiders addresses kids directly, like welcome advice from a trusted elder, encouraging kids to "share your stories." In The Day You Begin, the prose is poetic but accessible. ![]() ![]() ![]() Soon Lina and Max discover animosity may not be the only emotion creating sparks between them.

(Popsugar) (22 of the Best Books This Winter Has to Offer) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Mixed in with quotes from the likes of Jane Austen and Roland Barthes is this line, selected ironically, from Germaine Greer’s 1970 feminist call to arms, The Female Eunuch: Missing from the popular genre discussion is romance fiction, both its evolution and contemporary state, a glaring omission that Sarah Frantz Lyons is so determined to fix that she has it tattooed to her right arm. English professors from Yale to the University of Alaska have long mined hard-boiled detective novels, science fiction and fantasy, identifying the tropes and memes as revelatory and significant markers of their respective eras - the femme fatale, the sordid luxury of the Orient Express, or a singing computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Clarke have a few things in common: they are all canonized writers of popular genres that, for decades, have been critically devoured by popular media and literary scholars alike. Novelist superstars Dashiell Hammett, Agatha Christie and Arthur C. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first, Helke Sander's groundbreaking film BeFreier und Befreite (The Liberators Take Liberties) (1991), documents the 1945 mass rape of German women and girls by the advancing Soviet army. Because the documentaries espouse different methodological approaches to their examination of wartime rape, they serve to summarize key arguments in feminist scholarship on wartime rape that evolved in the nineties, owing in part to a critical examination of the mass rapes in the Balkans. Through different lenses they offer complementing insights into feminist positions on wartime rape, and illustrate both advances in women's rights, as well as ongoing issues. Contributing to this discourse are two documentaries on mass rape in wartime that appeared in the 1990s. Feminist scholarship on rape in general and mass rape in wartime has specifically explored sociological, psychological, and political factors that perpetuate sexual assault against women as a strategic means of control, advancing in the process both discussion and awareness of wartime rape. ![]() ![]() Historians have long portrayed it as a "natural" consequence of war, as the price females pay for belonging to the conquered party. The phenomenon is nothing new: since the beginning of history, rape has accompanied war. Within the last two decades mass rape in wartime has received international attention. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In Elemental, Pixar’s usual ambitious leap into the unknown is more of a safe dip into calm waters - water being one of the four elements driving the story, although only two of them really count here - and much about it seems familiar. ![]() The problem, of course, is that the originality is mostly absent here, as is the thematic risk-taking that drove films like Wall-E (the planet almost dies!) or Inside Out (Bing Bong dies!) or Coco (people die!). Not just the AI computing all the imagery, but literally an algorithm putting together a perfect Pixar movie. It’s all there - so much so that Elemental may be the first work from Pixar to feel like it was generated entirely by AI. The studio’s 27 th feature, has, well, all the elements that make up a great Pixar movie: A high-concept pitch that could only be rendered via dazzling state-of-the-art computer animation a serious overarching theme about ethnic strife and racial tolerance humor for both kids and adults, although this one is more geared toward the 10-and-under set a plot that hits all the right beats at exactly the right time.

Ide grew up in South Central Los Angeles, then an impoverished area ruled by gangs and street crime.

Informed by Ide’s early life, the novel tells the story of Isaiah “IQ” Quintabe, a young black man who has been on his own in the tough area of East Long Beach, CA, since he was teenager. In a seven-way bidding war, Alcon Television Group and Atlas Entertainment have teamed to acquire the rights to Joe Ide’s upcoming debut novel IQ to develop as a drama series. ![]() ![]() Both subjects are represented with numerous demons.
