Now another vampire is after her supposedly the original Derick is the most powerful vampire other than the original so how on earth is there any happiness in this series I have to say there hasn’t been any yet. Her crazy mother tried to have him turn her at 9 years of age but she is immune then her mother promises her to him at that Tim so he thinks when she gets older he can have her what kind of mother could do that to her daughter what kind of mother watches him nearly kill her twice while trying to rape her what kind of mother is so jealous of her daughter? Derek saved her the first time he got hold of her the second time she and Vivienne killed him. She writes about this other vampire that wants Sofia and he gets to here twice almost kills her each time while trying to rape here and keep her. I think I’m done with this series there is hardly any happiness in this series s o far the author said she believes in happy endings well I don’t see it happening. I’m just not sure I’m going on from here. All I have to say is that I’ve read the first 4 books and I’m getting mad, mad, and madder! Sofia and Derick are no where near being able to be together. Yet for Mary-proud of her former status and passionate about cooking-the alternatives were abhorrent. The Department of Health sent Mallon to North Brother Island, where she was kept in isolation from 1907 to 1910, then released under the condition that she never work as a cook again. With this seemingly preposterous theory, he made Mallon a hunted woman. Then one determined “medical engineer” noticed that she left a trail of disease wherever she cooked, and identified her as an “asymptomatic carrier” of Typhoid Fever. Sought after by New York aristocracy, and with an independence rare for a woman of the time, she seemed to have achieved the life she’d aimed for when she arrived in Castle Garden. Canny and enterprising, she worked her way to the kitchen, and discovered in herself the true talent of a chef. Brave, headstrong, and dreaming of being a cook, she fought to climb up from the lowest rung of the domestic-service ladder. On the eve of the twentieth century, Mary Mallon emigrated from Ireland at age fifteen to make her way in New York City. Mary Beth Keane has written a spectacularly bold and intriguing novel about the woman known as “Typhoid Mary,” the first person in America identified as a healthy carrier of Typhoid Fever. From the bestselling author of Ask Again, Yes, a novel about the woman known as “Typhoid Mary,” who becomes, “in Keane’s assured hands…a sympathetic, complex, and even inspiring character” ( O, The Oprah Magazine). With Marjorie Weinman Sharmat's passing in 2019 Andrew Sharmat has continued writing the series with Nate the Great and the Earth Day Robot (2021). Marjorie Weinman Sharmat's husband, Mitchell Sharmat, passed away in 2011 and her sister, Rosalind Weinman, in 2006. The New York Public Library named Nate the Great Saves the King of Sweden (1997, number 19) one of its "100 Titles for Reading and Sharing". Nate the Great Goes Undercover was adapted as a television program and won the Los Angeles International Children's Film Festival Award. Regarding the series Marjorie Sharmat calls husband Mitchell "always my first editor, and it's been a very happy collaboration". Simont illustrated the first twenty books, to 1998, and the last ten were illustrated by Martha Weston, Jody Wheeler, or Olga and Aleksey Ivanov "in the style of Marc Simont." Some of the titles were jointly written with Sharmat's sister Rosalind Weinman, husband Mitchell Sharmat or sons Craig Sharmat and Andrew Sharmat.

First, let me say I loved both the book and the movie. “I Know What You Did Last Summer” is one of the exceptions, but not for the reasons most people would probably think. You have been warned! □īeing the book nerd that I am, I tend to prefer books over the movies they inspire, almost always… almost. I have to warn anyone reading this: this post includes spoilers for the book and the movie. It has the same characters, same idea and even some of the same suspenseful moments, but everything else is a new and original interpretation or take on the book. That being said, the movie was very different from the book. It allows the ‘heroes’ to be deeply flawed from the very beginning and is the ultimate game of cat and mouse. The idea makes me quiver in the ‘oh so good’ kind of way. The premise is chilling: four friends do something very bad, by accident, and make a pact never to speak of it again, but then a year later they receive threatening messages and it is clear someone knows what they did, and wants them to pay the ultimate price for it. Maybe some people have seen the popular film (1997) or read the book the film was loosely based on (1973). I think a lot of people have heard of “I Know What You Did Last Summer”. “ Caraval was a rollercoaster ride of twists and turns, and the latest installment lives up to that standard and more. Dark, seductive, over-the-top: Characters and book alike will enthrall those who choose to play.” - Kirkus Reviews Themes of love, betrayal, and the price of magic (and desire) swirl like Caraval’s enchantments, and Dante’s sensuous kisses will thrill readers as much as they do Tella. The pacing is impeccable, with urgency increasing to an almost breathless point as Tella runs from clue to clue, while bittersweet truths and devastating betrayals unfold.” - The Bulletin, starred review “The setting of the game is fantastic in its spectacle and intrigue, and Garber pushes her world building even further. maybe even legendary.” - The Minneapolis Star-Tribune “A fantastic world reminiscent of Harry Potter’s Diagon Alley. “ Legendary is a whirlwind adventure that contains vivid, complex, and enchanting characters you'll want to follow to the last page.” - BuzzFeed (Best YA Book of the Year) Fans of Caraval will love it, and new readers will be enthralled by this immersive and imaginative world.” - USA TODAY “Themes of love, betrayal, family and forgiveness are explored as the narrative ratchets up the tension toward a conclusion that will leave readers clamoring for more.
