At the end of In A Glass Grimmly, he says where the stories came from and that is very fascinating. They were so perfectly written and the author is SO creative! He must have quite an imagination to put all of this together into one story. In two enthralling tales of adventure and gore, Adam Gidwitz’s first two books are sure to make readers fans o f the author and leave them begging for more fairy tales. Hansel and Gretel long for good parents who wouldn’t cut off the heads of their children, and Jack and Jill are ashamed of something, and are looking for a new home and life. These extremely scary and gory tales capture their journeys. Both pairs of characters long for something different in their lives. There were other details details that were not told in the original short version. Hope you like the review AND the fanart and polls at the bottom! Hansel and Gretel is not just breadcrumbs and evil witches. Hey guys! Here is my double fairy tale feature: A Tale Dark & Grimm AND In A Glass Grimmly by Adam Gidwitz! Also, if you don’t know my blog know has a Facebook page! Check in the side bar for a like box! NOTE: It is managed, controlled and registered by/to my mom. He'd also been dropping some pretty heavy hints that he knew something about what happened to our dad. Streckting kept saying that if we helped him find a certain treasure map, he'd help set Mom free. Storm, who has a photographic memory, not to mention an IQ somewhere in the stratosphere, had told us that Dionysus Streckting is considered the most nefarious, despicable, and just-plain-nasty criminal mastermind in all of Europe, including the island country of Cyprus, where a band of thugs had kidnapped our mom. Pure, undiluted, one hundred percent evil!" Adventures are like that.Įspecially when both your parents are CIA superspies and you're currently being tortured by being dangled upside down in a dungeon. In other words, don't believe everything you read or see. Honest.Īll right, already! Beck says I have to tell you that, sometimes, I make things up, too. This also explains why so many of her drawings have helpful notes like that one over there about my excess body odor. So that's the basic idea: I'm the writer my twin sis is the illustrator. Meanwhile, I'm always scribbling in my handy-dandy spiral notebook.Įxcept when I'm upside down. Wherever we go, no matter what happens, no matter how much treasure we find or how much danger her irreplaceable twin brother might be in, Beck keeps doodling in her sketchpad. In fact, Beck did all the drawings in this book. My twin sister, Rebecca, did that drawing of me being grilled by a criminal mastermind. Okay, I'll make this fast because, as you can see, I look like I might hurl. Maeve runs into Fluffy, their former nanny, one day. When he starts making money as a medical intern, he's able to make his first real estate investments and pursue that instead. In college, Danny discovers his genuine interest in real estate and wants to follow in Cyril's footsteps, but lacks the capital to pursue it. Danny and Maeve occasionally park outside the Dutch House and spy on Andrea voyeuristically. Maeve still works as a bookkeeper at a grocery store in a nearby town. Instead, Maeve pushes Danny to pursue an expensive education (medical school), in order to drain the trust and prevent money from reverting to Andrea. This disrupts Maeve's plans for grad school. The only thing Cyril provided for is an educational trust for Danny, but not Maeve. When Cyril dies from a heart attack, Andrea bans both Maeve and Danny from the house, which is now hers along with Cyril's entire business. Cyril is also more interested in nurturing Danny than Maeve, since Danny is male and will take over his real estate business someday. Maeve has an adversarial relationship with Andrea. The household help, Sandy (housekeeper) and Jocelyn (cook), help to raise them as well. Instead, Maeve helps to take care of the girls and Danny. Cyril and Andrea are indifferent parents. One day, Cyril brings home Andrea, a young, pretty woman with two young girls, Norma and Bright. They grow up in a grand house, known as the Dutch House. Their mother Elna left when they were younger. In Part I, Danny and Maeve are raised by their father Cyril. But the letters are dropped when this miraculously rich and painful freshman year begins flowing into the stories of his wallflower circle of friends: Patrick (Ezra Miller), the gay friend in love with a closeted jock, and Sam (Emma Watson), that not so obscure object of Charlie’s battered teenage longing. In the beginning, we see Charlie (Logan Lerman) writing about his scary first day of high school, hinting at some trauma that may just trump normal adolescent angst. But Chbosky has the genius to abandon his own literary device when it might slow the narrative flow of his film. (Chbosky is only the second in history to attempt this feat, preceded by author-turned-director Michael Crichton and his The Great Train Robbery, which was nowhere near as masterfully done as this.) The film opens like the book, as a letter written to a (possibly) imaginary friend. Against all odds and certainly against the common practices of Hollywood, Stephen Chbosky has adapted his own wildly successful cult novel for the screen and then, truly remarkably, directed the film with sensitivity and style. Her words, like spells, conjure the water’s music, the sun’s warmth, the “stories from stones.” River Spells will bring you into an experience of oneness of the natural world, and like any good spell, transform you back into your true nature. She captures the essence of the river’s magic so we can keep it close and dip into it to renew our spirits whenever we need. Meredith Heller does just this in River Spells. In nature, there are magical moments we want to bottle up and take home with us. Kaplan, Poet Laureate, Alexandria Virginia (2016-2019) In River Spells Heller takes us to her beloved Yuba River, introducing us to what she sees and experiences in a recitation of musical words that invite our bodies and spirits to dance with her: insects sibilate, stars shimmy, all this life/thrumming/through me, cacophony, gurgles, murmuration, whisper, bubbling, blowing… Delicious words that describe the Yuba River and enchant the reader.Īnd true to her poetry, she asks the important questions that are left humming in our hearts, “ What kind of watermark will you leave?” has an extraordinary facility for describing. Bewitching incantations await in this new collection of poems aptly called River Spells. The River is a fiction addition to the New Landscape writing of Robert Macfarlane and Rebecca Solnit, prose so vivid and engaging that a city-dwelling reviewer can feel the clammy cold of a fog over a river or the heat of subterranean tree roots burning underfoot in the aftermath of a fire. So in that regard, it loses some points for me. The men are also similar to the Ruthless Boys in personality. Rosalie is a tough as nails girl, very similar in personality to Elise, right down to a shitty upbringing. That being said - there are some similarities to their other reverse harem - Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac. So there is hope UPDATE Here is to hoping for 2023. I always felt like Rosalie was working towards her goal of escape, while leaving opportunities for fun and sexy times open. The authors have counted Darkmore Penitentiary 4 in their end-of-the-year wrap-up as one of the upcoming releases. I think the authors made sure to mix much more plot into the story too, which was my main problem with Ruthless boys. If you have not begun reading or are not too far into the story, please refrain from reading or at least proceed with caution. Please make sure to check the books in which the character appears. With the setting, and these characters, I was expecting a darker and grittier storyline, and we do get it - along with lots of steamy scenes, and humorous banter that these authors are famous for. This article contains potential spoilers for the Zodiac Academy Series, Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac Series and/or Darkmore Penitentiary Series. I will say, I enjoyed it a bit more than Ruthless Boys, or the first couple of the Zodiac books. So once again, I am left with things I like, and don't like - which seems to be just how I personally react to Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti's writing. The series was continued into a manga series entitled Blood Relatives. Raven is a likable protagonist, and her relationship with Alexander is sweet. The series consists of nine books that follow the story of a teenage girl named Raven Madison and her vampire boyfriend, Alexander Sterling.
