Product Information

Normally wouldn't rant, but this book is aimed at young adults, and they need to know that this type of relationship is not healthy. Dugan has long used photography to understand their own identity and to connect with others on a deeper level. Still, Zack finds himself falling for Chip between dolphin encounters and shark costume disasters, which means he suddenly has way more on the line than he ever expected. I adored Giant Days as a spinoff from Scary-Go-Round, but Bad Machinery also presented me with an unexpected cast of characters to love, sticking to the slightly spooky-whimsical direction of its parent comic. The chemistry is beautiful, and I felt as if I was watching a real family experiencing real situations.

In this highly personal collection of work, Dugan brings together self-portraits, portraits of individuals and couples, and still lifes, interwoven with diaristic writings reflecting on relationships, solitude, family, loss, healing, and the transformations that define a life.May have some underlining and highlighting of text and some writing in the margins, but there are no missing pages or anything else that would compromise the readability or legibility of the text.

She always treats herself with respect by keeping herself clean, eating good food, and exercising properly. When the captain's prank means trouble for the whole squad, Zack’s left with no choice but to take one for the team and cover for him. However, Simon James Green’s distinctive brand of humour makes this a very enjoyable read while shedding light on an important chapter of Britain’s LGBTQ+ history. From my previous review of John Allison's work, you'd be 100% correct in thinking I was a bit of a fan.

She loves to create accurately portrayed black and brown characters, inspired by her own family and experiences, and places them within stories that explore and celebrate black heritage in an accessible way for young readers. It's been just the escapist, easy-reading treat I needed and sparked the right parts of my brain to make be just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Things always get significantly worse before they get better, and the ending of part 1 is never, ever as straightforward as it appears. This book is great for children because it shows them that it is okay to have mistakes and to get knocked down because you can get back up and try again.
