Joseph's beloved but worn and patched overcoat gets recycled and reused over and over again, and by necessity of course becomes ever smaller and smaller (but still always purposeful), and finally ends its existence as a button. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Based on a traditional Yiddish folksong (the lyrics and musical score of which are, in fact, featured on the last or rather the second to last page, much appreciated, although I would prefer to have both the English and the Yiddish lyrics included), Simms Taback's Joseph Had a Little Overcoat presents a totally and utterly magical marriage of text and image (I can more than well understand why and how this gem of a picture book was awarded the Caldecott Medal, as the illustrations are a true feast for the eyes, bright, lively, intensely descriptive and absolutely teeming with details and delightful fun). ![]()

Toepfer![]() Instead, he interrupts a satanic ritual and ignites a chain reaction of events that leave him in a life and death struggle with a malevolent being whose power rivals the devil himself. Ignoring the warning signs and the pleas of his wife, Amanda, Jack uses an ancient map provided by a suspicious museum curator to search for a previously unknown Native American burial mound. Now, he has a plan to change the trajectory of his life.Ĭhasing his dream of becoming an author, Jack completely throws himself into researching Route 666, a road closed by the government due to an unusual number of deadly accidents. He’s played by the rules all his life, but living years on the knife’s edge has drained him mentally and spiritually. But random twists of fate have caused Jack Aitken’s dreams to be altered, postponed, or abandoned. It is human nature to dream and plan for an idyllic future.

Think of her as an intern, albeit one with her university fees covered. The book is firmly from the perspective of Alex Stern, a freshman student at prestigious Yale University, who, despite being an English Literature major, is really there for another reason. All favourite topics for many readers – think Harry Potter or The Magicians, for example – Ninth House uses these topics to write a book that gripped me from the start. Secret societies, elite academia, the occult. By comparison, this is most definitely adult. Leigh has, up to now, been best known for her popular (New York Times bestselling) Young Adult books such as Six of Crows and the Grisha Trilogy. Lev Grossman, Kelly Link, even Stephen King have all raved about this book. ![]() Even in these hyper-enhanced times, it’s not every day that a book arrives for review with glowing recommendations from a broad range of authors. ![]() |
