Knights of Swing   It's 1947, America is recovering from WWII, and the Civil Rights Movement is still years away.  Big-band swing music is all the rage. Knights of Swing chronicles the adventures of a determined group of high school jazz musicians who recruit their reluctant science and math teacher, Mr. Miller, to help them form a “really swingin' big band.”  Things get complicated at Castle High when school administrators and community leaders object to the band's diversity.  Alliances form and lines are drawn. Through a soul-searching and uplifting journey of forgiveness and unconditional love, Knights of Swing illuminates the power of music.   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod. (Please Subscribe)

Tom Jones o Thomas John Woodwar, que así se llama realmente, nació en Gales, en 1940. Procedente de una modesta familia minera, se empleó en su juventud en los más variados oficios, desde albañil hasta vendedor a domicilio. Al mismo tiempo, para ganarse un dinero, creó el grupo Tommy Scott and The Senators, con el que actuaba por las noches en locales de moda de los pueblos de los alrededores. En una de estas actuaciones fue descubierto por Gordon Mills, un compositor célebre que era miembro del grupo The Viscounts y quien se convertiría en su mánager hasta su muerte en 1986. Mills lo llevó a Londres en 1963 y, dos años más tarde, obtuvo su primer éxito con It’s not unusual, canción compuesta por el propio Mills que logró ser número uno de los “hit parade” británicos y que le supuso ser nombrado mejor artista novel en la octava edición de los premios Grammy. Más tarde vendrían título como What’s new pussicat (1965), tema principal de un comedia homónima cuyo guión firmó Woody Allen, y la balada country Green, green grass of home (1966), que consolidaron su carrera en la década de los 60. El éxito le permitiría en 1966 ejercer de telonero de los Rolling Stones en Londres. Así que ésta una de esas canciones … What's New Pussycat … y esta es la otra.Green, green grass of home Sin embargo, fue el tema Delilah (1968) el que le abrió las puertas del mercado estadounidense y el que le consagró a escala internacional. Un año después grabó en Estados Unidos el disco en directo Tom Jones live in Las Vegas y el álbum This is Tom Jones, con los que consiguió varios discos de oro. Por esta época empezaba a ser conocido como El Tigre, y había pasado de ganar veinte chelines a un millón de dólares por actuación. Contaba también con un programa propio de televisión, This is Tom Jones, en la cadena norteamericana ABC, que en sólo tres años (del 69 al 71) le reportó nueve millones de dólares. Ya ganamos dinero, ya somos alguien. Delilah Lo cierto es que la canción se las trae. El Sr. Jones nos cuenta que tenía una novia que, a quien se le ocurre, le ponía los cuernos. Naturalmente su hombría no podía resistir semejante afrenta y, dice literalmente “sentí el cuchillo en mi mano y supe que no reiría nunca más”. Podría haber dado un giro a la letra y decir, desde ultratumba, que no pudo resistirlo y se pegó un tiro, o la dejó, o se fue con otra, o… bueno todo nos suena a sabido y que no cambia nada. Pero seguimos, en 1970 se había convertido en el único cantante en solitario que había vendido más de un millón de discos solo en Gran Bretaña, llegando incluso a desplazar a Frank Sinatra del ranking de cantantes mejor pagados del mundo. En 1974 vendió su lujosa residencia en Surrey (Inglaterra) y se trasladó, huyendo del fisco de su país, a una mansión de Los Angeles que había pertenecido a Dean Martin. A partir de esta fecha grabó algunos discos en Estados Unidos que no trascendieron fuera de las fronteras norteamericanas, lo que, unido a un contrato que entre 1981 y 1986 lo ligó a un productora que solo le permitía grabar música country, ocasionó un aislamiento musical que se prolongaría durante algunos años. En 1987 volvió a la primera línea con el tema A boy from nowhere, que alcanzó el segundo puesto en las listas británicas. Un año más tarde vendría su versión de Kiss, un tema de Prince que grabó con el grupo The Art of Noise y que tuvo una excelente acogida, mereciendo el premio MTV al mejor vídeo del año. Y lo cierto es que suena muy, muy bien. Tom Jones es conocido, sobre todo, por su baladas melódicas pero ha cultivado los más variados géneros a lo largo de su dilatada carrera, desde el pop al góspel, pasando por el soul, el rock o el country, y ha colaborado también con muy diversos y prestigiosos interpretes. De estas colaboraciones hemos hecho una pequeña selección que merece le dediquemos unos minutos. Y empezamos, nada más y nada menos que con Janis Joplin O esta otra con su amigo Van Morrison Tom Jones y Van Morrison - Bring it on home to me Algunos de estos duetos están incluidos en el LP “Reload”. Otra joya de duo es "Burning Down The House" junto a la banda The Cardigans, canción del grupo de los 80 Talking Heads, cuyo vídeo musical se caracterizó por su gran realización e innovador concepto. Con este disco tuvo el reconocimiento absoluto por su trayectoria la cual se consolidó con los siguientes años Un último dueto, Tom Jones con The Pretenders y el electrizante “Lust For Life”. Cuando murió su mánager de toda la vida, Gordon Mills, su hijo Mark se hizo cargo de su carrera. En 1993 firma un contrato con la casa discográfica Interscope Records que le edita el álbum The Lead And How to Swing It, un nuevo giro en su música adaptada a los nuevos tiempos y un éxito inmediato que conquistó sus audiencias más jóven. Situation En 1998, Tom Jones hizo un mini gira con Robbie Williams y de estas colaboraciones destacamos esta memorable versión que ambos hicieron del éxito de Lenny Kravitz “ARE YOU GONNA GO MY” El 29 de marzo de 2006 fue nombrado caballero de la corona británica por la Reina Isabel II por su trabajo como artista. En la actualidad, Sir Tom Jones sigue vigente, realizando giras internacionales y también conciertos en las Vegas, donde se presenta durante diez o doce semanas al año. En septiembre de 2015 anunció su nuevo y hasta la fecha último disco, Lon Lost Suitcase y la publicación de su autobiografía Over the top and back. De este último disco vamos a escuchar uno de sus cortes, “Take My Love” Y hasta aquí hemos llegado. Hoy hemos podido comprobar la versatilidad de un artista entrañable, pelín hortera pero con unas cualidades innegables, una voz poderosa que ha sabido poner al servicio de una gran cantidad de estilos, que ha sabido adaptarse a los tiempos y evolucionar sin perder su reconocible impronta.

Swing It, Sunny by Jennifer L. Holm & Matthew Holm

Intro Hi everyone and welcome to Books Between - a podcast for teachers, parents, librarians, and anyone who wants to connect kids between 8-12 to books they will love. I’m your host, Corrina Allen - a mom of two and a teacher of 23. And last weekend, I had the huge pleasure of meeting and having lunch with Amy Skelding from the KidLit Drink Night Podcast! We had apple cider martinis and spent hours chatting about Parks & Rec and Harry Potter and Wegmans and everything we’ve been reading and everything we want to read. So if you haven’t yet had the chance to check out her show, Alan Gratz - the author of Refugee and Ban This Book, is her most recent guest and he is just phenomenal. So make sure you subscribe to Kid Lit Drink Night. This is Episode #37 and today I am welcoming author Orli Zuravicky to the show to chat about her paranormal middle grade series Happily Ever After, and then I am sharing with you three new books about the power and perils of friendship. Before we start today’s interview, I am excited to tell you that this month’s episodes are sponsored by WriteAbout.com - a writing community and digital platform that is perfect for classrooms.  And their school platform can connect every child in your school to build that community of writers. Write About for Schools makes it really easy for kids to read and respond to each other’s published writing.  So, if you or someone you know is looking for a way to bring your school together by celebrating student authors, definitely check out WriteAbout.com. And at the end of the show, I’ll share with you the fall themed creative writing that my students are writing about. Main Topic - A Conversation with Orli Zuravichy Today I am so happy to welcome Orli Zuravicky to the podcast. She is a senior editor at Scholastic and the author of several books including the recently published middle grade series Happily Ever Afterlife. Take a listen. Happily Ever After Series Your new middle grade series Happily Ever Afterlife was released last year and now has two new books coming out this fall. For those listening who aren’t familiar with the series, can you tell us a bit about it?   One of the reasons that I love paranormal stories is that phase of figuring out the rules of the world the story is set in. For example, there is no interaction between the ghost world and the previous world, once someone becomes a ghost, they stay that age forever…. How did you decide on the parameters of the afterlife in this book? With a book that is essentially about a middle school girl dying, it could have gone very dark. But it’s an upbeat and fun read. How did you strike that balance to avoid having the story be too morbid? What is next for Lucy and the others students at Limbo Central Middle School?   Scholastic So you work at Scholastic! What do you do there? What is your day like? So I follow you on Instagram - which I recommend everyone do - and I have a couple questions: What amazing polish do you have on your nails right now?   I notice you have a lot of Parks & Rec references on there - Who is your favorite character?   Your Writing Life You previously wrote a couple of board books.. What made you decide to try a paranormal middle grade? Right now my 5th graders have been working on writing narratives - personal narratives and stories. What is one piece of advice you would give them about how to make their stories come alive?   What are you working on now? Your Reading Life What were some of your favorite books as a child? What have you been reading lately that you’ve liked?   Thank You!   Episode Links: Orli Zurvicky’s website Books We Chatted About: Lyle, Lyle Crocodile by Bernard Waber Corduroy by Don Freeman Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans Eloise by Kay Thompson & Hilary Knight The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein Betsy-Tacy by Maud Hart Lovelace Baby-Sitters Club Series Sweet Valley High Series Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood The Diary of Anne Frank Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds   Book Talk - Three Novels about the Power and Perils of Friendship In this section of the show, I share with you three books centered around a theme and discuss three things to love about each book. This week I am featuring three books about the power and perils of friendship. They are Beatrice Zinker, Upside Down Thinker by Shelley Johannes, Brave by Svetlana Chmakova, and Real Friends by Shannon Hale.   Beatrice Zinker, Upside Down Thinker   Beatrice Zinker, Upside Down Thinker is the first in a new series by debut author Shelley Johannes. It’s about a unique middle child who climbs out of every box imposed on her, loves the word WOW, and has a knack for seeing the positive possibilities in any situation.  Beatrice has big plans for her first day of 3rd grade, but…. those plans get derailed when her best friend Lenny shows up to school NOT wearing the black ninja outfit to match Beatrice’s AND with a new friend, Chloe. Suddenly, Lenny seems less interested in their top-secret playground mission and more interested in sparkly clothes and playing veterinarian with her cool new friend.  Here are three things to love about Beatrice Zinker, Upside Down Thinker: The playful language!  Johannes really gets the tone right here.  There’s light touches of rhyme and alliteration and it’s just fun to read!  Here’s a bit from the beginning to give you a taste:  “Beatrice Zinker always did her best thinking upside down. It worked like magic, and she never questioned it. It worked like poof. It worked like presto. It worked like shazam - on every problem, every pickle, and each and every jam.” The illustrations!  I just love the movement and the shapes and the orange tints throughout. There’s long-legged Beatrice suspending from trees, her strict triangular teacher, Mrs. Tamarack and cute wide-stanced Lenny. There are pictures on just about every page! Beatrice’s attitude!  When we first learn of her super secret spying mission, it’s not entirely clear what her plans are.  But, the way that plays out and how that ties in with the situation with the new girl, Chloe… I don’t want to say too much and spoil it for you, but…I love it! And I think you and your students will, too.   This book about an upside down zany girl who has a knack for seeing the upside in everything would be a great read aloud and perfect for kids in about grades 2-5.   Brave   Another new book touching on the themes of fraught friendships is Brave by Svetlana Chmakova. This graphic novel is set in the same universe at Chmakova’s debut middle grade graphic novel Awkward, but this novel focuses on the character Jensen. In his daydreams, Jensen is a swashbuckling hero with dreams of becoming an astronaut or saving his schoolmates from the zombie apocalypse! But, in real life, he’s having a tough time in middle school - math class is hard, his art club friends seem to be ditching him, and he’s being harassed by two boys at school. Here are three reasons to love Brave:   The diversity of characters! Throughout the pages there is a huge range of skin tones and hairstyles. One of the trio of friends who run the school newspaper, Akilah, wears a hijab. She is absolutely my favorite character aside from Jensen. (And I really hope she gets her own book someday!) She’s bold and wants to be a voice for justice. And she also handles her friend and vlog co-host, Jenny, very well. Jenny can be, umm… a little intense. I also love the diversity of body types all throughout. Our main guy, Jensen, is overweight and some of the bullies call him cruel names because of that. Or rather - I should say - because they’re jerks and the insults just reference that. And I love how the story is not about Jensen wanting to lose weight to attempt to fit in. And characters that you think are going to fill a stereotype surprise you! Like Jorge - Jensen’s partner in English class who at first glance, seems like a big jock who just wants to do a project on baseball. But the sports part is actually not what he wants to focus on! The depth in the minor characters in this book are really remarkable. How this book really sheds light on the fact that friends can be some of the biggest harassers! And I think the author does a deft job of helping readers reflect on bullying through the survey Jensen takes as part of the social studies project Jenny is working on called The Lizard Brain Culture in Middle School. In a very accessible way, it brings forth ideas like normalized behavior and in our society where cultural norms and gender norms and political norms are changing quickly, I think the reflecting that happens in this book is a good thing. The small thread in this book about the dress code. At one point, Felicity gets suspended for wearing a skirt deemed too short. So, the school is in an uproar and they put together a petition to get her back. Personally, I loved that several of the teachers were just as upset and used the opportunity to have their class discuss it and discuss the long history of controlling what women wear.   Brave  warms your heart, makes you laugh, and gets you thinking about what you want to see in the world. The call-backs to the first book, Awkward, are fun if you’ve read it, but kids absolutely don’t have to have read Awkward at all to enjoy this book. If you have a child who loves to draw or one who has trouble finding that group to fit into or a child who has been a target of bullies, Brave would be a perfect story to share with them. And - I just saw the other day that the third book will be out next fall. It features Jorge and is called Crush. Can’t wait for that one! Real Friends And finally - THE hot graphic novel read of this summer (the one that my daughter was up half the night reading with her flashlight) was the autobiographical novel Real Friends written by Shannon Hale with artwork by LeUyen Pham. This book tells the story of young elementary school Shannon as she struggles to break out of her middle child loneliness and make good friends at school and at home. This book is about the power of friendship - in both a positive and a negative way.  Here are three things to love about Real Friends: How Shannon Hale understands those seemingly small but socially HUGE details that happen in the lives of friends. Such as who sits next to who at lunch, who gets invited to whose house, the intentional but unseen by teachers jabs in gym class, the ranking, and the lying… ugh… After Shannon’s first Kindergarten friend Adrienne moves and then comes back, she gets attached to what’s called The Group - these popular girls lead by Jen and her friend Jennifer.  Adrienne is clearly IN, but Shannon is sometimes OUT.   How this book is not just about Shannon learning how to make good friends, but also about her learning how to BE a good friend. Early on after her first real friend Adrienne, moves away, she makes friends with Tammy. A girl that I think is in foster care and there’s hints about how challenging her life is. Tammy joins Shannon’s class and they become friends but Tammy is FAR more attached to Shannon while Shannon is still pining for Adrienne and is cold to her and makes her feel bad when they say good-bye for that last time. I appreciated that this book was honest with her own mistakes. And when I was finished reading, I wondered a lot about Tammy. The Wendy section. The final chapter is about Shannon’s older sister Wendy who can be amazing but who also has this incredible mean streak - hitting and scaring and forced tickling. Shannon feels like there’s this wild bear unleashed in their home that no one else sees. And that doesn’t exactly change but evolves in a way that I think a lot of children can relate to who have complicated relationships with their siblings. That piece of the story reminded me a lot of Swing It, Sunny so if you have fans of that book, this would be another great title to have them check out.   So if you are looking for some great new books to introduce to your readers that have the universal and timeless theme of friendship absolutely check out Beatrice Zinker, Upside Down Thinker, Brave, and Real Friends.   Closing Alright  - that wraps up our show this week. We have some great interviews and book talks coming up this fall on topics like the Anne of Green Gables graphic novel and the timeless appeal of The Baby-Sitters Club. And our Q&A section will be back next episode! Thank you so much for joining me this week. You can find an outline of interviews, and a transcript of all the other parts of this show along with all of our previous episodes at AlltheWonders.com.  And, if you like the show, please help others find us too by telling a friend, sharing on social media, or leaving a rating on iTunes or Stitcher. And thanks again to WriteAbout.com for supporting the podcast this month - when you visit their website you’ll find fantastic ideas to get your students excited about writing. Tomorrow I am surprising my students by bringing in 6 pumpkins - one for each group. Their goal - to write a story featuring that pumpkin. It could be spooky, it could be funny and it includes my students who don’t celebrate Halloween. We’ll have some special guest judges and the winner of each group gets to keep the pumpkin.   See you in two weeks!  Bye!

Intro Hi and welcome to Books Between - a podcast for teachers, parents, librarians, and anyone who wants to connect kids between 8-12 to books they will love. I’m your host, Corrina Allen - a mom of two daughters and a 5th grade teacher in Central New York. My goal is to help you find fabulous books for your kids and help create a community where we all can support each other as we build those readers. This is Episode #36 and today is all about graphic novels! Before we start the show today, I am excited to tell you that this month’s episodes are sponsored by WriteAbout.com - a writing community and digital platform that is tailor made for students of all ages.  Their school platform can connect all your classrooms for shared writing topics. So if your school is like mine and has certain themes for each week, Write About for Schools makes it really easy for every class to read and respond to each other’s published writing.  So, if you or someone you know is looking for a way to bring your school together by celebrating student authors, definitely check out WriteAbout.com. And at the end of the show, I’ll share with you what my class plans to write about this week. Main Topic - CYBILS Before we jump into the book talks for the show - a little bit of news. I am so excited to be a round one judge for the CYBILS this year in the graphic novels category, so I am taking a deep dive into as many middle grade graphic novels published in the last year as I can get my hands on. Phew! So if you are not familiar, the CYBILS are the Children’s and Young Adult Bloggers’ Literary Awards.  This award started in 2006 and aims to recognize the children’s and young adult authors and illustrators whose books combine the highest literary merit and popular appeal. There are about a dozen categories and subcategories within Picture Books to Middle Grade to Young Adult.  Nominations take place from October 1st - October 15th so you still have time to go to cybils.com and nominate your favorite books. Finalists in each category are announced on January 1st and winners are revealed on February 14th. So be on the lookout for those. Last year’s middle grade winners included Ghost by Jason Reynolds, The Last Fifth Grade of Emerson Elementary by Laura Shovan, Shadow Magic by Joshua Khan, and Lowriders to the Center of the Earth, Book 2 by Cathy Camper and Raul the Third. So, some pretty fabulous choices. I’ve been following the CYBILS for a long time and using their lists as a resource, but this is my first time participating as a judge, and I’m honored to be working alongside a great team, including our very own Mel Shuit from All the Wonders! So, in other words, expect to be hearing a lot more about the great graphic novels of the past year. Starting…. now. Book Talk - Three Fresh New Graphic Novels In this section of the show, I share with you three books centered around a theme and discuss three things to love about each book. This week - as promised - it’s all about graphic novels! And since my aim is to keep you up to date on what’s new and fresh and really good in the world of middle grade, here are three new graphic novels to introduce to your readers.  They are Swing It, Sunny by Jennifer & Matthew Holm, Invisible Emmie by Terri Libenson, and All’s Faire in Middle School by Victoria Jamieson. Swing It, Sunny First up is Swing It, Sunny - the much-awaited sequel to Jennifer & Matthew Holm’s Sunny, Side Up. This book picks up with Sunny’s life in September 1976 - right after the summer she spent with her grandfather down in Florida in the first book. This story is all about Sunny’s life back at home, her complicated feelings about her brother Dale, who is now in boarding school, and the challenges of middle school. Here are three things to love about Swing It, Sunny: Seasonal Slice of Life stories. Unlike the first book which was set just in the summer, here we have Sunny starting school, getting fall allergies, reluctantly dressing up as nurse for Halloween, making loom potholders for Christmas gifts…. And small but poignant moments of that year in her life. My 10 year old was wishing for bigger events with a stronger resolution at the end. And for that reason she said she prefered the first book. But, personally, I liked the rhythm and pacing of this book with small moments told over the course of a year. How it explores a complicated relationship between siblings, and the impact that has on the rest of the family. After her older brother, Dale, ends up in a military boarding school for doing drugs and getting into big trouble - at one point Sunny says to her mom, “I miss him. But I don’t miss what it’s like when he’s here.” And I think a lot of kids - in some way or other - can connect to that. I LOVED all the 1970s details!!  I will out my age here and say that I was born in November 1976, a bicentennial baby, so this book felt like stepping back into the avocado green and rust brown and orangey yellow shades of my childhood. When having a TV dinner (cooked in the oven by the way!) was cause for excitement. I’m sure that qualifies this book for “Historical Fiction” status, and kids are obviously not going to have that nostalgic feeling that I had, but I loved all the TV shows referenced - Six Million Dollar Man and Gilligan’s Island and The Brady Bunch and General Hospital… there are so many tiny little details from the antennas on the tvs to the Jiffy Pop pan, to the vintage Golden Grahams cereal box…  Ahhhh….. There’s so much more. But I’ll let you discover all of it. Swing It Sunny is absolutely a must-have graphic novel for kids 8-12.  And they don’t have to have read Sunny, Side Up to enjoy this one, but if you have the first book on hand, I’d recommend starting there so you have the background about what happened the summer before. Invisible Emmie Another great new book is Invisible Emmie by debut author Terri Libenson. This book tells the story of the quiet, un-noticed, hero-in-waiting Emmie Douglass who is trying to deal with the challenges of seventh grade. Things like finding time to go to the bathroom between classes, the awkwardness of changing for PE class, not having a cell phone and feeling left out of things, and…. being completely embarrassed in front of your crush.  Here are three reasons to love Invisible Emmie:   How relatable Emmie is - especially for girls! From the frustration with your curly hair to that anger at yourself for not speaking up in your own defense. I think most girls (and boys!) feel that pressure of fitting in and comparing yourself to your peers, your friends, and to that perfect version of yourself that you wish you were. How this book alternates between the main narrative of Emmie and the story of Katie. And I loved how Emmie’s parts are text with lots of illustrations in softer blues, and tans, and mauves. And the sections from Katie’s point of view are a more traditional graphic novel format with panels and done in brighter yellows and pinks and greens. The blend of those two styles is really well done. How Emmie’s and Katie’s stories come together in the end! As I was reading, I kept theorizing how they were going to connect, and then I started to notice some of the same characters show up in both sections.  That ending and the message of that ending was powerful. Loved it! Terri Libenson’s  Invisible Emmie is funny, heartfelt, and great for kids who love books like Raina Telgemeier’s Drama or Bubbles by Abby Cooper. And I can’t wait to see what this author does next! All’s Faire in Middle School Our final graphic novel is one that my students and I have been anticipating for a long time - and oh was it worth that wait!. It’s All’s Faire in Middle School - by Victoria Jamieson. You might know Ms. Jamieson from her incredible Newbery Honor book - Roller Girl.  This novel is about Imogene - an eleven-year-old girl who has grown up and been schooled at the Florida Renaissance Festival where her father works as a knight and she helps her mother run their family’s arts and crafts store. But - this year two things are changing. One - she starts her training as a squire, which mean more responsibility at the faire. And two - she’s going to public school for the first time and starting middle school. I loved this book so much I am completely breaking my rule of three things. So, here are six things to love about All’s Faire in Middle School: The behind-the-scenes look at the renaissance festival. The jousting, the human chess game, the mud pit, the juggling, and the sword play.   And how Imogene is taught by the other actors to do what’s called “street” -  how to walk and talk and pull visitors into the fun as though they were all REALLY living in a Renaissance village filled with colorful characters. The Elizabethan flavored talk at the fair is so much fun to read. Here, let me give you a sample for you.. This is from page 27. This is when Cussy, an actor who plays a hermit, is teaching Imogene how to interact with the shopkeepers as she walks around the faire. “Good Morrow, and well met, baker! Prithee, hast thou any fresh loaves this morning?” The gorgeous chapter introductions that are in the style of an illuminated manuscript. They are so beautiful!   How this is a story about a family that is poor. Imogene is always a bit torn between her pride in her Ren Faire lifestyle and embarrassment that her family is picking her up in a beat-up old car. Or that she gets dropped of at the shabby apartment complex. Or that they can’t really afford those cool shoes and jeans that would help her blend in more at school. Yeah - relatable. For many many kids. The nuanced struggles and mistakes that Imogene deals with in middle school and at home. She makes BIG mistakes. At one point she harnesses her talent of drawing to be cruel in order to make others laugh. And has to deal with how much she hurt people.  At point she lies to her parents about school work, and gets in huge trouble.  And then - she does something so mean to her little brother that overcoming that one rash act is going to take a lot. But, you know - I see sibling conflict and peer conflict up close every day. And Jamieson gets it right. The small thread about the romance novel. There’s a scene where Imogene and her new friends sneak read part of a romance novel and later she writes the word sex in her journal and then quickly crosses it out. The words from the novel aren’t explicit at all but the context of that thread is so relatable for a lot of preteen and teenaged kids. That impulse to want to know more and yet not feeling really ready for that is handled so well here with a light touch that I’d say would probably be appropriate for most kids in grades 5 and above.   Honestly, I could go on and on about all the reasons I loved All’s Faire in Middle School but instead I think that time would be better spent having YOU just go get it and read it and put it into the hands of kids who are going to love it. And if you ever have the chance to go to a Renaissance Festival - please do it!!  My family always attends the Sterling Renaissance Festival in northern New York, and it is such a blast. We get our hair braided, enjoy a giant turkey leg, and just have fun transporting yourself to another era.  And make sure you check out Matthew Winner’s interview with Victoria Jamieson on episode 386 of the All the Wonders podcast where they talk about All’s Faire and her inspirations for this story. It’s so good! Closing Okay - that wraps up our show this week.

We're back after a short hiatus due mostly to computer problems and microphone nonsense. We are continuing with our bible study of John chapter 3, this week, going from 22 to the end of the chapter. We see Jesus and John both in the same area of Judea baptising. It brings on an interesting discussion between a certain Jew and some of John's followers. We look at John the Baptist's response with particular emphasis this week paid to the original languages. We also listen to the great Leon Helms play his classic tune Steel Guitar Rag. SWING IT!
