Well, I don’t aim to insult/offend people within the first sentence of my review but I think I would not be overexaggerating if I said that about 80% of the modern, first world population – at the very least counting 70-80% of Europe- would NOT at all be able to follow in Mark Boyle’s footsteps. I am not fully cut out for that either, no matter how much I would like to be. Kudos, Mark- you’re my new hero!

The Way Home is a Hallmark Channel original series. It premiered on January 15, 2023. [1] On March 2, 2023, Hallmark Channel renewed the series for a second season which is scheduled to premiere on January 21, 2024. [2] [3] Plot [ edit ] Also, I don’t know what the use is of cutting down trees (beech and birch) just to warm up your place (no word on how he controls wood from disease, termite) and reading paper-books, instead of ebooks because the tree loss is huge in both cases and makes his work against nature as opposed to pro-nature. Or whether he plants new trees each spring (he planted new trees in 2013 before moving in the farmhouse). Hallmark Channel has greenlit an all-new, original primetime series “The Way Home,” an intergenerational drama set to begin production this summer in Ontario, Canada. The series will premiere on Hallmark Channel in 2023. The show is part of Crown Media’s commitment to developing quality programming that will resonate with viewers. The series is executive produced by the renowned mother-daughter team of Heather Conkie (“Heartland,” “Port Hope”) and Alexandra Clarke (“Heartland,” “Hudson”). The people are the most interesting aspect of this book but there’s not enough about them. I wanted to know more about Kirsty. But not enough to finish this. A third of the way through I decided not to continue because frankly I have lots more books to read sent I’m not struggling on with this

Curriculum

On the journey home, the duo walks past a pampered feline in a window. As Shane gazes in, he says, "[T]hat cat's a loser. Eats fancy mince, no kidding. Heaps of it....Disgusting. And get that collar. What a joke!" They see an auto showroom, lights shining brightly on red Jags. Wrong color, Shane claims as he fights off a sense of awe.

This book is appropriate for a KS1 child because the story is written in the third person and written close to spoken language. The KS1 child can associate Claire’s story with their falls and accidents.

Samora Smallwood as Monica Hill, a frenemy of Katherine's in high school and a resident of Port Haven who runs a diner Critically engaging with the literature I believe a child reading this may be lead to believe that it is acceptable to become an attention seeker around their friends. However, I do think the stories Claire created were fantastic as she engages with her imagination. All children should be encouraged to express their imagination in a way that is true to themselves and not through lies. By not telling the truth Claire is changing her identity by adapting it to her life experiences. Children like Claire need to know that it is acceptable to be ourselves as she was to her mother. The use of language Claire uses by firstly explaining she was having such a great time and then she fell off gives the reader a sense of her embarrassment. Being embarrassed at Claire’s age for minor accidents is very common. This could explain why she felt the need to exaggerate the truth to her friends. Which saves them from laughing at her. Claire knee her mother would not laugh but would care for her by giving her a plaster.

Another theme of this book is care giving and safety zones for children. When Claire reached her safety zone of her house, she began to cry to her mother and Claire was honest with her as to why she hurt her knee. Claire’s mother also offered Claire a plaster. This shows that Claire’s real emotions could only be shown to her mother, a sign of nurtured attachment. Claire also received the assistance of her mother to heal her injured knee, by the offering of the plaster. Although I did like the repetition, I also eventually began to dislike it as I felt that there were a few too many accounts of what happened to Claire and I began to get a little bored whilst reading. On the way home is a story of a girl called Claire who falls off a swing in the park and grazes her knee. ‘On her way home’ she bumps into a friend, who asks how she hurt herself. Claire decides to tell a dramatic tale of how a monster tried to grab her and through her struggle to escape, she fell and grazed her knee. As she continues to meet people on her way home, Claire tells a different dramatic and enticing tale of how her injury occurred.Claire has an excellent imagination. This could be a good book to read with KS1 or KS2 children to motivate them to use their imagination just like Claire in their own story writing. Metcalf, Mitch (March 7, 2023).
