However, the school librarian changes that by giving him a book that he is actually interested in reading– Woodworking for Young Hands. Using what he learned from the book, Jake builds something for the librarian–a thank you for showing him books can be interesting. At times wryly humorous and at others marvelously unnerving and superbly menacing, this novel delights. Unlike his classmates, Jake never found excitement going to the library. Its rooms and layout will feel familiar to Greenglass House fans, but it’s set earlier in time, with a steampunk focus on cartography, gearwork, and combustion. Tiffin’s Classroom Series, it tells the story of Jake, a slow and careful reader. ![]() This week, the Butler Bookshelf is shinning a spotlight on The Little Library by Margaret McNamara.

I still remember the waves of nausea provoked by the the molestation of boys in Hassan’s Rumpus Room: “‘No, no!’ screams the boy. “I can’t remember how I came into possession of a copy of Naked Lunch in my teens but it so horrified me that it’s the only book I have actually, physically destroyed. ![]() ![]() “Salinger for the Snapchat generation” is how she was introduced to the world (“I remember thinking at the time,” Rooney guiltily recalls, “What is Snapchat?”), and anticipation for her follow-up was reaching fever pitch.įast-forward to 2021, and that second novel, Normal People, a will-they-won’t-they? tale for the millennial era about two students, Marianne and Connell, has to date sold more than three million copies worldwide, been praised by everyone from Barack Obama to Taylor Swift, and been translated into 46 languages. ![]() Her debut, Conversations With Friends-the story of two best friends and one’s adulterous relationship with an older married man-had been out for a year, and already Rooney was haloed by a cult status: a literary novelist who had broken the mainstream. ![]() ![]() Three years ago, on an early summer’s afternoon in leafy Bloomsbury, London, a 27-year-old Sally Rooney and I were sitting in the grand offices of her British publisher, Faber, discussing her upcoming second novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And part of the reason I chose Korean as that language was that I suspected it would provide certain opportunities for getting work as a translator, given the almost complete dearth of Korean literature available in English, and the fact that I knew Korea was a highly-developed, modern country with – presumably – a flourishing publishing industry. Translating as a hobby didn’t apply for me, as it wasn’t as though I happened to know Korean and thought I might as well have a go – my initial decision to learn a language, which happened to be Korean, was with a view to doing some translating somewhere down the line. ![]() What made you interested in translating Korean literature? Did you originally start translating as a hobby or did you have bigger ambitions in mind (i.e promote Korean literature overseas)?

Instead of being the son of a Greek god, though, Magnus is the son of a Norse god - a difference that doesn't make the story different enough, but does provide some major info-dumpy moments.ĭon't get me wrong, Riordan's writing is still easy to read and quite funny. ![]() ![]() It's pretty much the same kid again, with the same wit and snark, he's just been given a different name. It's incredibly hard to distinguish Magnus's voice from that of Percy Jackson. At this point, the stories are all starting to blend into one and it feels like his well of ideas has run dry. Some people will shriek "No!" at this, but I really think it's time for Mr Riordan to move on from these stories about young heroes and heroines and Greek/Roman/Egyptian/Norse Gods. The Sword of Summer, though, doesn't feel. As with Harry Potter, it takes a normal, seemingly unremarkable kid and propels him into a world where he's a hero. I thought it was creative, fast-paced, entertaining and with a great message for all kids who feel a little on the outside sometimes. Middle grade it may be, but I really enjoyed The Lightning Thief. ![]() ![]() ![]() But not everything buried should come alive again.
