Book Review-Unravel by Amelia Loken
Unravel Amelia Loken YA Fantasy 2021 I met author Amelia Loken at a recent book writing conference presented by the Society of Children’s Books Writer's and Illustrators. She was presenting a seminar on non-verbal language, and I found it very stimulating. In the talk she touched on the vast range of silent communication from body language, tells, psychology of touch, places of import, to semaphores and more direct signed language. I was brimming with ideas on how to incorporate some of these tools into my story telling, then she tossed out a term I’d never heard before when talking about her book Unravel: embroidery magic. I had to know more.

The Orwell Experience
I honestly wish I had a better recollection of what caused me to pick up and read the novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four” by George Orwell. A cinematic opening to a story of me journeying from library to library seeking veracity and critical thinking.

The House of the Scorpion
I was stumped trying to figure out what to read next. Nothing seemed to jump out at me from the pile of unopened books on my shelf at home, so I turned to the only place I could think of for suggestions–my classroom. My students have quite the eclectic taste when it comes to books, so I knew that I would get suggestions that I wouldn’t have stumbled across myself. One suggestion, from one of my more voracious readers, led me to pick up Nancy Farmer’s, “The House of the Scorpion.”

Little Women and their non-binary fan
I started reading at an early age, I was three when I started to put words and pictures together in my board books. My mother read to me every night. We had our little routine and for a young child who would eventually be diagnosed autistic, it was what I needed. I got into the bath at 7, and into bed at 730 for a story until it ended and it was time to get some sleep. Simple picture books turned to storybooks complete with voices and then those turned into chapters each night from a book. Little Women was one of those chapter books I remember fondly, a book that sticks with me just like my Mom's banana pancakes on Sunday mornings.

Mark Twain
Part One Mark Twain’s real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens. The phrase he would come to use as his pen-name was one he first heard while working as a boatman on the Mississippi River between 1857 and 1861. For freshwater sailors, “mark twain” means a depth of two fathoms, the shallowest point at which it remains safe to continue navigating. The term was used as a warning-cry on boats that were heading into dangerously low waters.
