This is a very special book.” (John Green, best-selling author of The Fault in Our Stars and Turtles All the Way Down )Ī stunning, heartbreaking debut novel about grief, love, and family, perfect for fans of Jandy Nelson and Celeste Ng. ![]() Pan’s brilliantly crafted, harrowing first novel portrays the vast spectrum of love and grief with heart-wrenching beauty and candor. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I also loved how it wasn’t just Jean going on a life changing journey, although his is the journey that takes the longest and the one with start with from the beginning all the way to the end.

Dead-eyed and flat-mouthed, Reece guts adversaries with an axe and orders them to walk, watching as they stumble or axes them in the head or handcuffs their families and strands them in a rising tide, or… His character, James Reece, is on a Charles Bronson-esque mission of revenge against the forces that ambushed his Navy SEAL platoon in the field and, back home, irrevocably altered his family life (with his wife played, mainly in flashback, by a wildly overqualified Riley Keough, and his daughter by Arlo Mertz). In his new Amazon series “ The Terminal List,” actor Chris Pratt is built like a brick wall, and has about half as much charisma. ![]() ![]() ![]() The odds are against him, but with courage and friendship-and a cheeky sense of humor-he just might triumph in the end.Ī Texas Bluebonnet finalist and winner of the ILA award for middle grade fiction, Rump is perfect for fans of Gail Carson Levine's Ella Enchanted or Adam Gidwitz's A Tale Dark and Grimm.
