For what, I found myself asking, for no other reason than to sit a test for the government DFE accountability measure. "Tears flowed from our most capable readers and stress levels rose amongst all others. My year 6 children, all capable readers who love reading, opened their reading test paper and were broken! In her letter, the Tarporley head said: "Today really was my 'road to Damascus moment'. We should be building resilience in our young people because the government and society have failed them so far and they will pay the price if we don't invest in their mental health." "These children have lost so much education with Covid and strikes and this is totally unfair.

The two leave behind their small hometown and travel the world together, writing about and photographing their adventures. The film follows a young woman, Emma (Soo), who marries her high school sweetheart, Jesse (Luke Bracey). The film also stars Simu Liu, star of Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the upcoming Barbie movie, and Phillipa Soo of Hamilton fame.

Like so many books about small-town life, Plainsong is about people living catch-as-catch-can, and catching in the process so much that is heart-wrenching and extraordinary it's a wonder they hold it all in. There is much about Kent Haruf's latest offering that is reminiscent of any other number of novels with the same setting (Texan Joe Coomer's moving A Flatland Fable comes immediately to mind), and yet it's a story about people so soothingly basic - they don't think too much, but they feel plenty - that the genre is inexhaustible. The ones in between have motivations mysterious even to themselves, and they take the abuse of the villainous and the generosity of the saintly all in stride. The bad guys are drunk and bored and mean the good guys are honest and hard-working. Plainsong is set in Holt, Colorado, on the rough, rugged, outstretched plains east of Denver and is infused with its landscape. ![]() ![]() On the plains the sky is bigger and the wind blows harder and this tends to make people some combination of humble, hearty, and resilient as hell. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rook does not expect his dreams ever to come true-his best friend, Felix Lodd, seems a much more likely candidate-but, to everyone's surprise, Rook is chosen to be a knight, along with Stob Lummus and Magda Burlix. Rook, a lowly under-librarian, dreams of becoming a librarian knight-one of the select few to travel into the Deepwoods and gather information which may lead to the discovery of the cure to stone-sickness (an affliction which has destroyed the buoyant rocks, making skysailing impossible). Rook Barkwater lives in the network of sewer-chambers beneath Undertown, in which a society of librarians has established itself, secretly opposing the cruel Guardians of Night. The character of Vox Verlix is mentioned, setting up for the sixth book, Vox. The story is of young Rook as he becomes a librarian knight and is pitted against the Guardians of the Night, including Xanth Filantine. ![]() Unlike the previous books in the series, this focuses on Rook Barkwater and Felix Lodd, but the main character of the first three books, Twig, is present as well. It is the fifth volume of The Edge Chronicles and the first of the Rook Saga trilogy within the stories' own chronology it is the seventh novel, following the Quint Saga and Twig Saga trilogies. ![]() The Last of the Sky Pirates is a children's fantasy novel by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell, first published in 2002. ![]() ![]() Life is on track moving towards marriage when their world come crashing down.

In fact, social taboos preclude exploration of the topic-and since our family-centric culture doesn’t know quite what to do with non-parents, there’s potential for childless and childfree women to be sidelined, ignored, or drowned out. Not that they don’t want to there just aren’t obvious catalysts for such open conversations. ![]() Yet few women talk much about what not having kids means to their lives and identities. Today about one in five American women will never have children, whether by choice or by destiny. Weaving together wisdom from women ages twenty-four to ninety-one with both her own story and a growing body of research, Kate brings to light alternate routes to lives of meaning, connection, and joy. A savvy and validating guide to what might be in store for growing numbers of childfree and childless adults worldwide, Do You Have Kids? Life When the Answer is No takes on topics from the shifting meaning of family to what we leave behind when we die. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When the Colonies, not yet the United States, and England were negotiating the end of the Revolution in Paris, which became The Treaty of Paris, John Adams, lead negotiator for the winning colonies, said that the Northwest territories also belonged to the winner of the war. It was territory controlled by England following the French and Indian Wars. For reasons I hope to illuminate in this review, I am extremely glad that I chose to read "The Pioneers."Īlthough most Americans do not realize it, the huge territory, virtually 20% of the continental United States, was not part of the Louisiana Purchase. ![]() I chose to read his history entitled "The Pioneers" because it covered a part of American history about which I felt deficient, the establishment and settlement of the Northwest Territory that totally encompasses the states of Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana. David McCullough is the dean of American historians with such noteworthy works, as "1776," "The Great Bridge", and "The Johnstown Flood." He is equally regarded as a biographer with top of the line biographies of John Adams and Harry S. ![]() ![]() ![]() There's the stuff on Disney+ that will continue to build out the ever-expansive Marvel and Star Wars universes, if you're so inclined to keep with the program.
