It's received numerous national and international awards, including being one of Time magazines 100 Best Young Adult Books of All Time (January, 2015), and USA Today's Top 100 bestsellers. Wonder has been a New York Times bestseller for over 5 years in a row (with over 140 weeks as #1). These voices converge to portray a community as it struggles with differences, and challenges readers, both young and old, to wonder about the true nature of empathy, compassion, acceptance, friendship, and-ultimately-kindness. Auggie is a hero for the ages, one who proves that you can’t blend in when you were born to stand out. Wonder begins from Auggie's point of view, but soon switches to include the perspectives of his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, Auggie wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid-but his new classmates can’t get past his extraordinary face. August (Auggie) Pullman was born with a severe facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school.

When Kingsolver was seven years old, her father, a physician, took the family to the former Republic of Congo in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Kingsolver was born in Annapolis, Maryland in 1955 and grew up in Carlisle in rural Kentucky. In 2000, Kingsolver established the Bellwether Prize to support "literature of social change." She has been nominated for the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Kingsolver has received numerous awards, including the UK's Orange Prize for Fiction 2010, for The Lacuna and the National Humanities Medal. Each of her books published since 1993 have been on The New York Times Best Seller list. Her work often focuses on topics such as social justice, biodiversity, and the interaction between humans and their communities and environments. Her most famous works include The Poisonwood Bible, the tale of a missionary family in the Congo, and Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, a non-fiction account of her family's attempts to eat locally. Kingsolver earned degrees in Biology at DePauw University and the University of Arizona and worked as a freelance writer before she began writing novels. She was raised in rural Kentucky and lived briefly in Africa in her early childhood. Barbara Kingsolver is an American novelist, essayist, and poet. The silent phone caller is now ringing the cottage landline every day and the feeling that someone has been entering her house increases Cass’s paranoia – perhaps it is someone that knows Cass could have stopped the murder. The smaller events such as misplacing her bag and phone could be brushed off as the meanderings of a distracted mind but ordering items online such as a pram (when she and her husband are not expecting) is evidence to Cass that her slippage is a symptom of something more serious. Recently wondering if she is going to go the same way as her mother and experience early onset dementia, Cass has been suffering increasing occurrences of memory loss. On a long holiday from work, Cass hopes that she can bring her life into focus. Finding out the next day that a woman was murdered is a huge shock, more so when the driver is identified and Cass realizes that she knew the victim. It’s pouring buckets, and Cass’s cottage is not far away. As a woman driving alone on a country road at night, Cass isn’t that inclined to get out of her car when she passes what appears to be a motorist with engine trouble.

Sujata Massey is an American mystery author and historical fiction novelist. ‘Puss in Boots, Baba Yaga, brownies, pucks and fairies, foolish and dangerous, nymphs, dryads, hydras and the white winged horse, Pegasus, all these offered the pleasure to the mind that the unreal offers when it is briefly more real than the visible world can ever be.’ It’s also about as lyrical as a novel can be before it shifts from prose to poetry, and sings with the wisdom of a mature and talented writer. Succinct, clever, and well-written, it’s a good example in how to write about yourself without writing a book just about you. I knew several aspects of the tale, but this was the first time everything was connected for me, from Yggdrasil to Loki in his chains. It’s the Norse version of the apocalypse, but it’s also the semi-autobiographical story of a young girl who believes her father will die in the Second World War.īyatt’s Ragnarok is actually my first encounter with a more descriptive version of the myth than can be found on its Wikipedia page. For a book about the end of everything, this is a lovely piece of literature. When a tragic accident tears them apart, can Rachel live without her soulmate?
