Filled with sweet rhymes and beautiful imagery of a grandfather with his young grandson, this book is sure to bring a smile to your face.Īrmed with a plethora of lemons and a bottle of lemon extract left over from making Harry Potter’s favorite Triple Power Icy Lemon Pops, I pulled out the rest of the required ingredients that were already in my pantry and got to work. Pop Pop and his grandson cook up a fine day together preparing, baking and eating a delicious lemon cake. I went on a search and discovered a recipe for a Lemon Bar Cake Bake in the picture book titled Pop Pop and Me and a Recipe, written by Irene Smalls, and illustrated by Cathy Ann Johnson (Xist Publishing, 2012 – read here by The Little Reading Nook). I decided it was time to do something new with our lemon abundance. While it’s hard to grow tired of fresh lemonade, my hands and arms were getting worn out from the constant squeezing. My house typically has a small but steady supply of lemons, but a recent error in sharing grocery store shopping lists meant we were faced with having TOO many lemons. Which means yum (though, as you will soon read, one was a tad melancholic). Which means I got to eat TWO cakes Katie baked. Armed with a recipe, lemons, and an inordinate amount of patience, Katie took a Lemon Bar Cake Bake literary recipe for a test drive….twice. It was the best of cakes, it was the worst of cakes.

Tayo's love for Ts'eh comes to replace the pain and guilt he felt at losing Rocky and Josiah. Hmm…we wonder why (wink wink, nudge nudge). (You can check out the section on " Symbols, Imagery, Allegory" for a deeper analysis of several these.) We instantly like this woman, and Tayo does too-he spends the night with her and feels happier than he has in years. We know immediately that she's going to be important, because her appearance is marked by several significant details: she's wearing yellow, she has ocher eyes, her house is at the base of Mount Taylor, and she points out the constellation of stars that Betonie told Tayo to watch out for. Ts'eh, the woman of old Betonie's vision, plays an important part in Tayo's journey of healing. Sp4rx somehow manages to be both a fairly standard-downright predictable-cyberpunk thriller, and a showcase for McDonald's stylistically engaging and endlessly inventive cartooning.-AV Club Wren McDonald has not only found a way to produce a truly original contribution to the dystopian genre, but also to create a story that syncretizes numerous predecessors and influences while simultaneously critiquing them.-ICV2 SP4RX reads as the love-child between William Gibson's Sprawl trilogy and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner-Teen Librarian Dynamic, stylish and laced with comedy.-It's Nice That This book is a serious joy to read McDonald not only has a clear artistic vision of the worlds he wishes to create, but a strong handle on what topics he wants to explore.

The Cat Who Walks Through Walls is a science fiction novel by American writer Robert A. even though Jane Eyre has graced the screen a whopping thirty-three times. Still, there's a lot more going on than the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster. Madness, disability, missionaries, and a tasty sprinkle of the gothic make Jane Eyre a pretty compelling read for a book that was published (under the pseudonym Currer Bell) in the wayback days of 1847. But don't worry: it's still a crowd-pleaser. What we're saying is, Jane Eyre isn't exactly the harlequin romance novel that a movie poster like this might suggest. That comes in the last few pages of a very long (and very messed-up-think "psychopathic mind games" and "imprisoned people in the attic") courtship. Oh, and by "awesome personality" we mean "blunt and somewhat annoyingly obsessed with duty." And let's not forget to mention that the sort-of-aristocrat is (1) mean, (2) ugly, and (3) comes with more baggage than an Airbus. You can't get much more romantic than Jane Eyre: a poor, unloved, and unattractive orphan uses her awesome personality to win over a wealthy sort-of-aristocrat and live happily ever after.
