Time After Time

"Brett's debut builds slowly and grimly on a classic high fantasy framework of black-and-white morality and bloodshed. Young Arlen battles demons to save his mother while his father watches in terror; when his mother dies, Arlen runs away. Leesha leaves her village to work in the city hospital of Angiers after her betrothed claims to have taken her virginity. Jongleur Arrick Sweetsong saved himself from demons at the expense of a female friend, but he honors her last request and raises her son, Rojer, as his apprentice. Only near the end do the three strands of the story begin to intertwine. With its nameless enemies that exist only to kill, Brett's gritty tale will appeal to those who tire of sympathetic villains and long for old-school orc massacres."&#8212;Publishers Weekly&#8220;I enjoyed The Warded Man immensely. There is much to admire in Peter Brett&#8217;s writing, and his concept is brilliant. There&#8217;s action and suspense all the way, plus he made me care about his characters and want to know what&#8217;s going to happen next.&#8221;&#8212;Terry Brooks&#8220;The Warded Man works not only as a great adventure novel but also as a reflection on the nature of heroism.&#8221;&#8212;Charlaine Harris&#8220;An absolute masterpiece . . . The novel [is] literally &#8216;unputdownable,&#8217; and certainly deserves to be the next Big Thing in dark fantasy.&#8221;&#8212;HorrorScope&#8220;A very accomplished debut fantasy, broad in its scope.&#8221;&#8212;SFRevu &#8220;A fabulous new fantasy series . . . that is likely to become a classic. Excellent fantasy literature.&#8221;&#8212;The Cairns Post ,Queensland, Australia

Women's International Thought: Towards a New Canon

&diams; Guess who&rsquo;s coming to dinner? Well stocked with easy-to-digest facts,   from nature notes (&ldquo;The frog closes its eyes and swallows, using its   eyeballs to push the fly down its throat&rdquo;) to the taxonomic names of the   13 different kinds of flies that Clark renders with distinguishing   details (and deservedly anxious expressions) in his cartoon   illustrations, this disquisition on flies as food will draw swarms of   young readers. Following a countdown entr&eacute;e in which the said baker&rsquo;s   dozen are, one by one, gobbled up by predators ranging from birds, bats,   and a fly-eating fungus to an unwary skateboarder (gross but, claims   Heavenrich, &ldquo;harmless&rdquo;), subsequent courses dish up observations on the   insect&rsquo;s importance as a food source, its real potential as a food   additive, its nutritional content (with a table modeled after the one   printed on cereal boxes), and a labeled chart of fly body parts, from   the &ldquo;soft and chewy&rdquo; abdomen to antennae (&ldquo;high in fiber&rdquo;). Budding   STEM-winders especially will relish meaty closing lists of print and web   resources. Amplify the buzz by pairing this biological bounty with   Brigit Heos&rsquo; introduction to another segment of the life cycle, What to  Expect When You&rsquo;re Expecting Larvae, illustrated by St&eacute;phane Jorisch. &mdash;Booklist, starred review Counting insect corpses has never been so much fun. Thirteen species of flies and gnats meet their untimely demises as they&rsquo;re devoured by amphibians, fish, birds, plants, other insects, and more. The structure of the book is deceptively simple: Each doomed insect is described by a single participle (which rhymes with the participle that describes the next) along with a comical cartoon of each fly&rsquo;s passing. As each fly bites the dust, a small note identifies the species by its common and scientific names. The plot becomes more sophisticated with a brief paragraph that explains how and why each fly was eaten. As there are 13 flies, the final death doesn&rsquo;t have a rhyme, but it discusses flies as food for humans (with the assumption that readers do not belong to cultures that currently include insects in their diets) and how food scientists may be looking toward the insect world for alternate protein sources. The format allows readers across different age ranges to enjoy the book either for the simple rhymes (and visual zest) or for the intriguing study of the food web. A select bibliography includes books, websites, and news stories that will entice curious readers looking to learn more. Fans of Ants Don&rsquo;t Wear Pants! (2019) and Kevin McCloskey&rsquo;s other graphic novels will appreciate the illustrations and humor of this unusual counting book. Fly out and buy it. &mdash;Kirkus Reviews  Thirteen short, rhyming answers are given to this question: How do birds, fish, mammals, and insects capture and eat flies? Some of these feeding methods are described as &ldquo;zapped,&rdquo; &ldquo;wrapped,&rdquo; and &ldquo;underground.&rdquo; Each of these tactics is explained in a descriptive paragraph of two or three sentences that centers on a specific animal and how it eats flies. For example, a garden spider captures a fly in its web, injects its prey with poison, and then wraps it in silk so that it resembles a burrito. Each paragraph is accompanied by a large illustration or two. These colorful illustrations are clear, but often humorously exaggerated. The text concludes that flies are a major food source for many animals. Educators could use this book for multiple lessons. The rhyming &ldquo;ways&rdquo; to eat a fly could be adopted for choral reading, with some of the factual information also included. Children could discuss how different animals capture and eat flies as food. VERDICT A lighthearted nonfiction picture book that could easily be used with young children in different ways. &mdash;School Library Journal  There are 120,000 different kinds of flies, all of which have predators ready to devour them. But before the flies go down the hatch, they have to be caught, and that's the focus of this humorous and informative look at food preparation on the fly. The book does a countdown of thirteen different methods: frogs use their tongues to zap them; crab spiders snatch them with their long front legs; garden spiders employ a two-step process, first killing flies with venom and then wrapping them up "like a burrito." Trout wait until baby flies, or midges, hatch just above the water's surface and then simply leap and gulp. Clark's bright, digitally colored creatures, with exaggerated facial expressions, set the tone; visual humor abounds, including hte recurring lineup of different species of fly that decreases by one as the countdown progresses. A witty text culminates with equally amusing back matter, from a food label listing nutritional information (one serving: 65-80 flies, "depending on species") that accompanies a tongue-in-cheek guide to fine fly dining, to a diagram labeling the edible parts of a fly. Appended with further reading and websites for children and a bibliography of sources. Bon appetit! &mdash;The Horn Book
