But just as he’s ready to put the darkness of his past behind him forever, it comes roaring back with a vengeance. After four years abroad, artist Jonas Davenport has come home to start building his dream of owning his own art studio and gallery. ![]() ![]() It’s the ultimate in youthful worldbuilding every race gets their own hair color and eye color! Unfortunately, describing someone with only hair and eye color is both unimaginative and ineffective. He looked human except for his crimson hair and maroon eyes. Use Omniscience WiselyĪ tall Shade lifted his head and sniffed the air. Wind howled through the night, carrying a scent that would change the world.Ī scent will change the world by itself? Please tell me everyone in this world spends the next month gagging on horrid fumes, until they gather and go on a great quest to find and destroy the source of their smelly doom! I want to read that. This prologue is sitting here before chapter one, so clearly we need to read it. Opening and… a prologue! We have a prologue. ![]() Sure, it’s for a young audience, but don’t young adults deserve strong writing too? Someone decided to publish this, and lots of people paid money for it. But that doesn’t make his work immune to critique. In fact, he’s probably ahead of the curve for his age. Since Paolini was a teenager when he wrote this book, he has a solid excuse for poor writing. Perhaps a dragon named Eragon, as that’s just “dragon” with a letter swapped out? ![]() I know I can expect a young male chosen one and (obviously) the dragon on the cover. I’ve never read Christopher Paolini’s Eragon before now, but I’ve heard it compared to both Star Wars and Harry Potter. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, Little John (another outlaw) postpones the execution just so Robin and his men could save Will.

Not to mention how best to balance the characters, perspectives, backstory, plot points, concepts, themes and personal touches that make the cut. The major stumbling block for everyone who has tried hasn’t been a matter of how to bring it to the screen, but how much of its almost 500 pages (not including the appendixes) they can and should include. Many of its most iconic scenes-Paul Atreides’ shield practice, his visions of a mysterious woman he feels he knows, the Reverend Mother’s test, Lady Jessica using the voice, the appearance of Baron Harkonnen-have successfully made the leap from the page multiple times now, with each variation offering its own effective mix of faithfulness to the text and artistic license.ĭune isn’t so much unfilmable as it is uncontainable. Its landscapes, its technology, its people and its fantastical creatures, from the sandworms to the guild navigator, are all primed for visual realization. There’s a great deal about Dune that is inherently cinematic, though. ![]() ![]() “A terrific look at middle school culture. ![]() “This uncommonly honest portrayal of the lures and pitfalls of popularity will likely ring true to many elementary and middle-school readers.” - Booklist, starred review “Somehow, Hale and Pham have made the “normal girl” into the ultimate cool girl.” - The New York Times Book Review A graduate of the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, LeUyen lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two sons. ![]() ![]() Her own books include The Bear Who Wasn't There and Big Sister, Little Sister.
