Bowling keenly depicts the universal awkwardness of adolescence and the particular self-consciousness of navigating a disability. Her friend Connor’s moved away and made a new friend who, like him, has Tourette’s syndrome: a girl. ![]() Aven resolves to be “blasé” and field her classmates’ pranks with aplomb, but a humiliating betrayal shakes her self-confidence. She’s entering high school, which means that 2,300 new kids will stare at her missing arms-and her feet, which do almost everything hands can (except, alas, air quotes). ![]() ★ In the sequel to Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus (2017), Aven Green confronts her biggest challenge yet: surviving high school without arms.įourteen-year-old Aven has just settled into life at Stagecoach Pass with her adoptive parents when everything changes again. ![]() ![]() ![]() The suspenseful forest scene in which the plan goes awry and the children become lost stirs the primeval fears of cold and dark, and generates empathy for both the pranksters and the victim.

How did you come up with that expression? Is it from your own life? “Kissing the Rain” is Moo’s expression for embracing the insulting remarks about his obesity that rain down on him from his classmates. You introduce the reader to your protagonist and narrator, Mike Nelson, nicknamed Moo by his classmates, in reference to his weight problem. Kevin shared his own story and his views on the writing craft face to face at the 2003 ALAN Workshop in San Francisco. His rapid-fire delivery of myriad details and lovable/hate-able anti-hero protagonists speak to teenagers and “the teenager inside us all,” as Kevin describes the place he goes to find that special voice, the voice of “Moo” Nelson, for example, the overweight hero of ![]() (Chicken House/Scholastic 2003) and was an instant favorite with young people.

He was on a placid horse and expecting an easy ride when what felt like a shot from an arquebus (the firearm of the day) knocked him and his horse to the ground: "There lay the horse bowled over and stunned, and I ten or twelve paces beyond, dead, stretched on my back, my face all bruised and skinned, my sword, which I had had in my hand, more than ten paces away, my belt in pieces, having no more motion or feeling than a log." When he regained consciousness, and afterwards his memory of what had really happened, Montaigne learnt that it was not a shot, but one of his servants, a muscular man on a more powerful horse, who had mistakenly charged past and hit him. He was 36 and he liked to ride to get away from his inherited and elected responsibilities: a chateau and estate in the Dordogne and a seat in the Bordeaux parliament (or high court). B efore he was famous, the essayist Michel Eyquem de Montaigne brushed shoulders with death on a bridle path, some time in 1569 or early 1570. ![]() |
