![]() If you’re looking for a queer book this summer, you won’t find better than this.Īt twenty-three, life has taught August that the best thing to be is alone.

However, its also a delightfully emotional read, packed with humour, sadness, and profound observations on modern life. ![]() Like their first, its wildly implausible escapist fiction – this time with a time traveling twist. ![]() ‘One Last Stop’ is the second book by Casey McQuiston, author of the massively popular Red, White, & Royal Blue. ![]() ![]() ![]() Scarlett Dragna has never left the tiny island where she and her sister, Tella, live with their powerful, and cruel, father. ![]() ![]() I got another Fancast/Dreamcast to share with you guys, and this one is for a pretty popular YA Fantasy/Romance series: The Caraval series by Stephanie Garber! I’ll admit it’s been a fun and absolutely enchanting set of books with beautiful imagery, twists and turns in abundance, it’s like a fairytale with a scavenger hunt in Venice, Italy under the lights and the stars…. ***Warning!! This Fancast/Dreamcast contains spoilers for the whole trilogy, so continue reading at your own risk! You’ve officially been warned!*** ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I have to believe Gerri more saw that more as a bit of bravado on Nic's part - that Abby wouldn't be able to resist her. Really - Nic is such a sweetheart that it almost seemed out of character once we got to know her. But ultimately I was happy with how all of that was resolved. ![]() I really enjoyed this! And let's just get it out of the way at the outset - yes, I had the same feeling as others did about the "payment" Nic required to participate in the ruse. When an attractive stranger approaches her with the offer of a chance to get away for ten days, she agrees but with a counteroffer that brings both anxiety and excitement to the desperate Abby.Īmong the holiday lights and snow-covered grandeur, the lines between pretend and reality blur as the two women have the time of their lives while Abby learns it isn’t her ex she cannot resist and Nic learns what it means to be part of a family for Christmas.Ī proposition, a counteroffer, and a Christmas charade heal two souls and meld two hearts into one. Nic Bennett’s life has been far from ideal and Christmas is her most dreaded holiday of all as she relives horrors from the past. Abby’s solution?

Das kleine Gespenst - erstmals ungekürzt und in Idealbesetzung Bezaubernd und mit viel Humor erzählt Publikumsliebling Nora Tschirner von den spannenden Abenteuern, die das kleine Gespenst auf der Burg Eulenstein erlebt. For each correctly-opened door one receives a gleaming cannonball. They accomplish this with the help of a mysterious magnetic set of keys that, as if through the hand of a ghost, opens the doors of the old castle. Whatever is shown on the picture is what the children must now find behind the closed doors of the castle. Whenever the great clock in the city hall marks the passing of another hour, a picture shows up in one of the viewing windows. The game picks up the storyline about the players, on the stroke of midnight, spending the witching hour flitting through the dark halls of Castle Eulenstein with the little ghost. After 'The Little Prince' comes this year's The Little Ghost, based on the book by Otfried Preussler. ![]() Kai Haferkamp is developing into a specialist in converting children's literature into games. ![]() ![]() Where the offstage warnings appear in white italics on a gray ground, implying a drab rejection of fantasy (“Watch where you point that stick”), the pig's statements are printed against a deep and dreamy blue. The pig holds the stick at its midpoint and it becomes a paintbrush, aiming toward Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night The pig stands astride the stick, and a rearing horse shape appears. Portis traces pig and plaything in a heavy black line on negative space, then superimposes jaunty blue line drawings that act as overlays to reveal the pig's imaginings. ![]() ![]() An unenlightened voice offstage suggests, “Hey, be careful with that stick.” The pig corrects the false impression (“It's not a stick”) and demonstrates the item's many uses. And where the earlier title featured a deceptively boxlike, hollow rectangle (which an inventive rabbit treated as a rocket or a race car), this follow-up introduces a little pig holding a long, forked object. ![]() Featured a plain brown wrapper, this winning sequel proffers a faux wood-grain cover. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You can count on this book for delightful trick-or-treating adventures as they practice counting spooky creatures from ten to one. 10 Trick-or-Treaters, by Janet Schulman.Some of these Halloween books for kids on this list were written by notable children’s authors known for their high-quality content.Ĭheck out these Halloween books for kids!
