Free read! Apple and Rain by Sarah Crossan - The Guardian

Poetry can teach us about ourselves. It can comfort us when we are in despair. It can bring joy. But not only that...it can open us up. It can make our worlds bigger and brighter and clearer. It can *transform* us.” it is a good day to teach tiny humans teacher gifts-personalized teacher gifts tote bag teacher appreciation gift kindergarten teacher -tea3 This is what I like about her though. So many 13-year-olds in books are immature and whingey and she isn’t. Sure, she leaves her Nan to go and live with her admittedly crap Mum but she’s generally pretty mature and never whines about how crap her life is, she just gets on with it and makes do and hopes things will get better. She’s not perfect but she’s not a stereotypical whiney teenager and that is very nice.The plot was good although at times unbelievable. No school is that careless to let a student go without being told by the legal guardian. But Del being introduced, Rain's disappearance and the whole Donna/Pilar malarkey intrigued me. Leer Apple & Rain se siente como si estuvieras de nuevo en la clase de español. Desde las discusiones en clase hasta el método de enseñanza, sus tareas y lo que Apple escribe como borradores, todo está ahí. Sí, disfruté de la asignatura de español en su día, pero no quiero revivirla, mucho menos leer sobre ella y con tanto detalle. No podía imaginar cómo sería para los estudiantes de secundaria actuales. The general idea behind Apple And Rain is interesting even though it's not that original, and I really liked the poetry bits. Those parts would have gotten 4 stars, but unfortunately I wasn't blown away by the rest of it. The plot, prose and characters didn't manage to convince me and most of it just didn't feel credible. It is a really fast read though and has some interesting insights on poetry, so don't discard it if you think you might like it. Still, I would definitely recommend reading One first if you haven't already.

Succinct, with a gentle lyricism, the poems are telling about immigration, prejudice, self-delusion, families and first love, on the way to a life-changing conclusion The If you have Apple Watch Ultraor later, you can wear it during recreational scuba divingup to 130 feet (40 meters)and other activities like swimming, showering, and water skiing.* Night Mayor Franklefink has vanished from the Transylvanian Express - and it's up to you to solve the case! Part of the Solve Your Own Mystery seri... That brings us, of course, to Rain. She’s 10 years old, making her only 3 years younger than Apple but she is far, far less mature and seems to be having some mental health issues. She carries around a doll names Jenny and treats it as much as she can like a real baby – feeding it milk, changing its nappies, starting to decide Jenny’s ill and insisting she must be taken to the doctor. This, of course, is all signs of Rain’s inability to cope, desperate need for some guidance by a less useless adult than her mother. Additionally, as it’s pointed out by another character, Rain’s insistence that Jenny be taken to the doctor as Rain’s way of admitting that she knows she needs to see a doctor.

I’m not sure why this book was on my to-read list. On getting it out of the library, I had no memory of the premise. I think perhaps I just liked the cover (I know, I’m terrible, but it’s so pretty). It’s an amazing novel and it really catches your eye, I think it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read and hope lots of people agree with me. Nat Allison’s review of An Island of our Own by Sally Nicholls Neben Apple, ihrer Mutter und ihrer Großmutter spielen auch Rain und Del eine wichtige Rolle. Sämtliche Figuren sind dabei gut ausgearbeitet und besitzen eine gewisse Tiefe. Ich muss zwar sagen, dass besonders Apples Mutter nicht wirklich sympathisch war, ich sie aber dennoch in gewisser Art und Weise verstehen konnte. Am meisten habe ich jedoch Apple ins Herz geschlossen, denn diese war mir nicht nur sehr sympathisch, sondern ich konnte auch mit ihr mitfühlen und mich somit in sie hineinversetzen. One time, the coolest girl in the school asked Apple to hang out and have some fish and chips but Grandma said no. Apple was angry and upset.

Another indicator of Apple’s maturity is how much she doesn’t hate her dad, even though she probably should. He’s rubbish and clearly doesn’t want anything to do with her, even though he is her father but Apple doesn’t really seem to blame him – she even says that he was just unfortunate enough to be dating her mother when she got pregnant. This annoyed me quite a bit actually, because her father is as responsible as her mother for her existence and he should step up and be her father. When you have a child, you have to make sacrifices, even if you never wanted that child. If you brought them into the world, they’re your responsibility. Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing - The author does well at highlighting the sadness of the Great War, even going so far as to kill off one of the major characters and badly injure another. I think the author had to do this as it would be unrealistic for this family to escape with only one wounded member when many so many died. I really enjoyed this book and i would recommend it to people who like evocative language and stories.

I really enjoyed this book, because it was mysterious and exciting. You never knew what was coming at you and sometimes it was like words were hurtling towards your face. I only wish that you found out a bit more about what happened to Holly at the end of the book. But that was my only doubt. Apple's first person narrative is genuine and appealing. Crossan's plain writing style and natural dialogue is appropriate for her audience. The pacing of the novel is good and the story is well structured.

Twelve autumn poems - Pan Macmillan

Apple and Rain tells the story of Apple, a 13 year old who wishes her mother would return home after more than ten years. When she finally does, it is not without its own problems, and Apple finally understands that you have to be careful what you wish for. What lies within are elements with much depth, and emotion. The characters, especially Apple, and the events unfolding were often a little too realistic, and I found myself relating to Apple much more than I expected to. At one point, I decided that if anyone has ever been thirteen, they will find it incredibly easy to connect with Apple. (But if you couldn't and you HAVE been thirteen, please don't ruin the hogwash also known as my conclusions). Cece makes friends but they are never perfect, she has ones who talk really slowly to her, ones who boss her around and they all make her feel she’s different. Towards the end of the story Cece spots a boy she would like to make friends with. When the boy finds out what Cece can do with her hearing aids he is her best friend.

Not all Apple Watch bands are appropriate for water use. For example, the stainless steel and leather bands aren't water resistant and shouldn't be exposed to liquids. I liked how Apple and Rain was divided into parts according to what Apple was studying in her English class. I think they all had significant meaning to the story, and also gave me a bit of a hint as to what would happen in that part of the story, as well. As part of the focus on business users on Monday, it showed off a new secure screen sharing feature that would let them on their machines from remote locations.

Because her mum is obsessed with acting she constantly leaves Apple in charge of Rain for long periods of time. Eventually Apple realises that her mum is only interested in her for babysitting. But Apple doesn’t say anything because she would never want to ruin her mum’s life.
