![]() ![]() Terms such as "fiction" or "non-fiction" cannot be applied without restraint when defining this writing. Spreading her texts in various spaces of contemporary literary life, from the blogosphere to short forms published in the press, Rejmer tries to cross the boundaries of literariness and pure reportage, thus developing a transitional form. Both books were received favourably and with interest, which, in the case of Bucharest, also resulted in awards granted by various literary bodies (the Teresa Torańska Newsweek Award for reportage, the Gryfia Literary Award for a female author, nomination for Polityka's Passports, and the Nike Literary Award).

Although this series has been around for a long time and is a perennial favorite with middle school librarians, I went in totally blind to this story and its many accolades. I admit, I picked up The Thief, the first book in The Queen’s Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner, because Steve West was the narrator. Their journey toward the treasure is both dangerous and difficult, lightened only imperceptibly by the tales they tell of the old gods and goddesses. What Gen is interested in is anyone's guess. The magus is interested only in the thief's abilities. To attain it for his king, he needs a skillful thief, and he selects Gen from the king's prison. ![]() The king's scholar, the magus, believes he knows the site of an ancient treasure.

Their ambitions were similar, but each leader had his own distinct methods, his own carefully created script for elaborately produced and often wildly successful acts and campaigns of deception to win hearts and minds on the frontlines and the home front.

The same effect occurs for the almost poster-size display showing how large the imposing moon is, when the father acknowledges it’s now too big to bring home to his daughter. When the girl’s father takes a high ladder to climb up to the moon, the upward-extended flap shows how high the thin, desolate row of steps extends into the limitless sky. But the simple story of a girl whose father brings her the moon is also boosted by a slight gimmick: several of the pages fold up or down or open out to display extensive spreads of the happenings. Bold colors and collage like compositions mark this as distinctively Carle. Monica’s father fulfills her request by bringing the moon down from the sky after it’s small enough to carry, but it continues to change in size. Beautiful illustrations are enhanced by dramatic fold-out pages in this moving and imaginative tale of a father’s love for his daughter. ![]() ![]() ![]() Poses and activities help children to de-stress, focus, and get moving while having fun.
