死爹综合症
Here’s an interesting editorial From Publisher’s Weekly: 死爹综合症 Why are there so many dead parents in kids’ books? By Leila Sales Sep 20, 2010 I am a children’s book editor. You might assume this means that I spend eight hours a day reading charming bedtime tales about bunny rabbits, 但事实并非如此. I primarily work on novels for older children, and the “in” thing right now is future dystopias. So I actually spend eight hours a day reading about barren wastelands in which teens struggle against fascist dictatorships. 而且，他们的父母通常都已经去世了. 死去的父母太多了阅读更多→
光环
18-year-old Alexandra Adornetto’s novel 光环 follows three angels as they descend from heaven to a small coastal town to combat the Dark Forces that are rapidly spreading across Earth. There’s the archangel Gabriel, the healer Ivy, and Bethany, the youngest and most human. But when Bethany falls in love with a human boy…well, that is just the beginning of these angels’ escapades. This novel delivers everything you would expect a teenage supernatural romance story to have — there is the kind-hearted supernatural being who falls in love with the honorable human (even though she knows it is forbidden), the inevitable reveal of the supernatural being’s true阅读更多→

读者welcome皇冠地址:垃圾
I only recently saw the award-winning movie, “Slum-dog Millionaire” and was haunted by it for weeks. My immediate reaction to Trash by Andy Mulligan was that it was going to be similar in a variety of ways – the children are orphans, 他们生活在绝望的条件下, and they (rightfully) mistrust the law. I wasn’t sure I could experience another story of the horrors of youth in a third world country but the writing kept me captivated. Raphael lives in a metal box on the edge of the dump. He works every day in the dump looking for something edible, 可回收的, 是可以挽救的还是有希望的, 有价值的.One day he finds something very special. He阅读更多→
