The Bunker Diary

The Bunker Diary
Sarah Couri | Blogs,  Nov 13, 2015
The Bunker Diary by Kevin Brooks Carolrhoda Lab/Penguin, March, 2015 Reviewed from a final copy So way back a few weeks ago, Karyn mentioned that she found Tightrope Walkers too dark and oppressive to really sit with.

Fuse #8 TV: Laura Ruby (Now a National Book Award longlist finalist!)
Elizabeth Bird | Blogs,  Oct 15, 2015
As I’m sure you all noticed, yesterday the National Book Award announced its shortlist for the Young People’s category.  A couple surprises there.  M.T. Anderson’s removal will come as a nasty shock to anyone who has read his book and the elimination of Shabazz/Magoon effectively turns the remaining writers into a pretty white fivesome. The […]
