![]() ![]() Our protagonist is lonely, misunderstood and awkward (*cough* not at all like anyone I know or feel like). ![]() And so the story unfolded like so much delightful discovery mixed with comfort and reassurance (something inherent to the genre?

You know how sometimes YA gets confused in your mind as just one big happy bit of comfort read?Īnyway, much to my delight I don’t think I’d *ever* read (or at least I have no memory of reading) A Handful of Time. While I remembered loving – and reading and re-reading – the Guest of War, I couldn’t remember – at all – reading A Handful of Time. Pearson, if you’re not familiar (you should be – go get her) is a Canadian author made famous (or Canadian famous) for The Guests of War trilogy – a series that follows British Home Children (British children sent to live in Canada for the duration of WWII) – and for her Newbery winner A Handful of Time. Time, you might think, to turn to the failsafe: the young adult fiction bookshelf (and yes, it has its own bookshelf).Īmong the Beverly Clearly (there is a lot of Beverly), Gordon Korman and E.B. While it was lost, my partner left the country (he’ll be back), my sister had a baby (not so much upsetting as overwhelming) and I didn’t get the job (though I didn’t expect to, disappointment is disappointment). I lost my book this weekend (don’t worry I found it under a coat in the car). ![]()
