100 Ways To Conserve | Water – Use It Wisely

The Nation by Terry Pratchett--a great "Make Waves" read!

Nation by Terry Pratchett


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The unfortunate schooner Sweet Judy, carrying distant heir to the throne Ermintrude, runs aground on one of the Mothering Sunday Islands in the Great Southern Pelagic Ocean, the same island that Mau has always called home. Thus begins the encounter between a cossetted English girl, who soon changes her name to Daphne, and a boy who is the brave sole survivor of a tsunami that wiped out the rest of his people, known as The Nation. Pratchett's clever dialogue keeps this unlikely tale popping, with hilarious encounters not only between Mau and Daphne but also between other shipwrecked English and the South Sea Islanders who paddle in from other islands nearby. This tale searches for answers to big questions, especially what kind of deity allows a natural disaster to take so many lives? In his comic way, Pratchett offers a deeply humane approach to life's greatest mysteries.

A review of Heist Society by Ally Carter

Heist Society by Ally Carter



This is heisting at its best, and most elegant! Kat Bishop gets booted out of Colgan Academy, an exclusive private school, just in time to save her father from the hands of the evil mobster Arturo Taccone, who believes Kat's father has stolen five priceless paintings from him. Enter W.W. Hale the Fifth, Uncle Eddie, the beautiful Gabrielle, Simon, Angus, Hamish, and the new guy Nick. This den--more like a family gathering--of thieves finds a way to break into the most prestigious museum in London to set things right. This is just a blast of a book from beginning to end. Light but just right.
