The image that stuck with me from her POV as a child was how her father was portrayed – the hypocrisy of his character as a family man and as a serial killer. The Obsession is captivating from the first chapter, Naomi’s character as a child is brave and her POV so detailed. Then she makes the villain have a voice and be someone you would not even think about it – because even the villain blends nicely into the characters. She provides a wonderful backstory to the characters and a setting that is informative and descriptive – full of wonderful little details that makes the setting feel real. ![]() When she saves Ashley from a similar fate and brings her to the police, her father is arrested and Naomis world is changed forever. Roberts has a style when it comes to thriller and mystery, at least is a style I have noticed in both The Obsession and The Sanctuary.

It is also important that, despite its controversial material, Hopkins’s work has literary value that redeems it. Karin Perry and Ellen Hopkins were also sure to bring up the potential impact Glass can have on preventing a student reader from being involved in drugs or unsafe sex after all, the lifestyle portrayed in these verse novels is far from glamorous. ![]() ![]() The Norman Public Schools reconsideration committee’s results echo this sentiment, saying “the powerful message on teen drug addiction far outweighs the concern about the sexual content.” “Reading books with these topics allows students to experience these things from the safety of a book,” Karin Perry says. ![]() If it is true, as education scholar Belinda Louie suggests, that parents object to texts with undesirable worldviews, it is also, thankfully, the recognized importance of those worldviews that can save a text from censorship. ![]() ![]() ![]() Once again we’re plunged into a gritty, harsh, realistic and unforgettable depiction of various bad actors and law enforcement institutions clashing in often violent and bloody fashion.Īnd yet, “We Own This City” is a stand-alone crime drama and is in no way a sequel, spiritual or otherwise, to “The Wire.” Even if you’ve never seen a single episode of David Simon’s seminal series, even if you’re only vaguely familiar with the true-life Baltimore police scandals depicted in this show, director Reinaldo Marcus Green, the writing team that includes Simon and fellow executive producer George Pelecanos (“The Deuce”) and the remarkably talented ensemble cast have done a brilliant job of telling this epic and sprawling and yet intimate and intense story, which is based on the book “We Own This City: A True Story of Crime, Cops and Corruption” by Baltimore Sun reporter Justin Fenton. ![]() ![]() ![]() Comparisons between the six-part, self-contained HBO series “We Own This City” and the landmark HBO classic “The Wire” are inevitable and fair, given the creative team behind “The Wire” returns to the Baltimore crime landscape and the cast includes about a dozen alums from that 2000s-era classic, including Jamie Hector, Jermaine Crawford, Domenick Lombardozzi, Tray Chaney, Susan Rome and Anwan Glover. ![]() ![]() ![]() Moms: I Love My Mommy Because… by Laurel Porter-Gaylord, I Love My Mommy by Sebastien Braun, Fawn and Her Family, Mommy Snuggles by Anne Gutman and Georg Hallensleben.Heroes #2: My First Book of Girl Power, Wonder Woman: A Word Adventure, Busy Bodies, Catwoman Counting. ![]() ![]() Heroes #1: Superman Colors, DC Super Heroes Opposites, Batman Shapes, Batman is Brave.Farm Animals: Baby Touch and Feel Farm Animals, My First Touch and Feel Farm, The Chicks in the Barn by Aly Fronis, Who Am I?

Lucidly and beautifully written, Peace Is Every Step contains commentaries and meditations, personal anecdotes and stories from Nhat Hanh’s experiences as a peace activist, teacher, and community leader. The most profound satisfactions, the deepest feelings of joy and completeness lie as close at hand as our next aware breath and the smile we can form right now. Dirty dishes, red lights, and traffic jams are spiritual friends on the path to “mindfulness”-the process of keeping our consciousness alive to our present experience and reality. For him a ringing telephone can be a signal to call us back to our true selves. World-renowned Zen master, spiritual leader, and author Thich Nhat Hanh shows us how to make positive use of the very situations that usually pressure and antagonize us.
