What readers are saying about A New Kind of Music by Diane Payne:
"A New Kind of Music is an easy, enjoyable read that perfectly caputures the uncertainty, longing, beauty, and awkwardness of early adolescence thorugh the eyes of 14 year old Layla. She and her friends struggle with fitting in, finding themselves, family issues, relationships, and making a difference in the world. This book could be a good springboard for parents in discussing tough issues with their teenager. I recommend this book!" "I really enjoyed reading an upbeat book about a teenager and her mom. I wanted to have dinner with these people and their friends." Read the full book description below!
Praise for ALWAYS AFTER THIEVES WATCH:
I have recently had the pleasure of reading Skadi meic Beorh's published work, Always After Thieves Watch. This mixture of mysticism and fantasy, centering largely around tales of Hallowe'en, was a joy to peruse and I am so taken with it that I have ordered a second copy as a gift for my future stepdaughter. She is twelve years of age and I think it will be an ideal addition to her library. (As well as mine; my being 40 years of age makes no difference whatsoever!) I recommend his work to anybody with a sense of wonderment and fun, regardless of age. Sue Linley, Liverpool , UK September 2007 ************************************************************************************************** Just got your book this morning, which I have anxiously awaiting. Couldn't wait to read your dedication. That was so sweet. I've never read anyone thank their mother for teaching them to read. It made my eyes swim. Then, of course, I had to thumb through to try to find my name. Starting from the back, like a magazine, I leafed through and just so happened I'm featured in the last story. All I want to do is get in my bed and read the rest of the stories. Just can't wait to read more. It is very well written and entertaining. Dori Lyn Ard, New Orleans *************************************************************************************************** I am not scared... as creeping me out... just creeped about old tales of childhood. Like the one with the vet on the house... and the three kids and mom inside. I had three guys come to our house once, with me, my sister and my mom inside. They did not fly away, though! They were bad guys. Tried to shake the door open. My mom was on the phone with the police. Our dogs were going nuts. And "The Very Big House Up On Waterstone Street"... there was, maybe still is, an old barn-house... red, falling apart, next my parent's house where I grew up. All us kids dared each other to go, but we never got inside, just close enough to feel the bad energy of the house. I wonder if it's still there? Ang Azur, Children's Writer, Pittsburgh |
