Sally Gardner - Maggot Moon
我有一次在香港誠品發現了一本Sally 寫的書 ：the boy who can fly, 覺得寫得不錯，於是問阿仔要不要看，他說要所以我買了這本書，回家後發現Sally其它的書也很適合小朋友看, 結果買了一本又一本，Maggot moon 是Sally 的新書。

Sally Gardner 我地睇過 Strongest Girl in the World 都好好睇，圖書館有本 3 in 1, 有齊 Invisible Boy + The Boy who can Fly + Strongest Girl in the World, 不過有啲 pre-teen 可能會覺得淺，唔夠 challenging?

Twilight seems to be more suitable for teen. I am not saying the English is difficulty, it is the content that matters.
My girl was also given the Twilight set, not sure when she will read them. The ones she is reading right now are the the house of the night series, which is just as teen as Twilight. Quite similar.

I note that most of your kids are girls.
You may also check out Judy Blume's books as well. She writes books for different ages of readers, from kids to adults.

How many books all together for the 'wayside stories or sideway school' series? My son loves his book called there is a boy in girl's toilet (may not entirely correct). I think he is also interested in Louis's other books.
My son is now reading James Patterson's 'Middle School' series.

It seems like there are three others to follow under the same Tiger series, namely: tiger's quest, tiger's voyage and tiger's destiny. How does your boy like the book?
Is it more of a girls' book as I saw comments comparing it to twilight???
作者: A-Mum 時間: 13-3-28 13:28
Mesmering, my boy's still in the middle of book 1. So far he's happy with it. I'm also reading it because I want to know how much romance stuff is there. There are some kisses... but also adventures for boys so I guess he will read on. In fact he has recommended it to a girl classmate and seems like they both enjoy it.

Hahahaa, kisses. I can imagine my boy feeling impatient/ uneasy and turn his pages quickly to skip thru them. : )Besides the above mentioned series like Alex rider and Cherub, we recently read a quite unique story,The Giver, by Lois Lowry. You may want to have a look if your son is able to handle mature theme.

It is about people living in a ordered community without freedom . It touches on issues like teenage sexual arousal(and the suppression of it)infanticide,suicide and old age. A very original story indeed. My husband actually read the story simultaneously as well and discussed various issues with my son through the way.
作者: shadeslayer 時間: 13-3-30 09:59
Thanks. I didn't know Giver has so much mature content. I must read it first.

It just touches on those issue lightly. We took it as a good chance to discuss those taboo/ thought provoking issues with our son and made it a life exploring lesson. Freedom, suicide and old age. I passed the teenage sexual arousal part to my husband to handle as ours is a boy.
If you find Giver a little bit too much, there is another award winning book by the same author suitable for @G7/8; Number the Stars. A story on friendships , Jewish family and Nazi.

It is Number The Stars by Lois Lowry, not "of stars".
The book you mentioned, is it a fiction?

Yes, it was a typo. The fault of our star is fiction. I like it a lot.
作者: A-Mum 時間: 13-3-30 15:37
Is it the weather? recent interests all on serious and sad books?
I have read The fault in Our Stars. It's touching but really sad. I had to read "The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared" to cheer myself up after that!

兒子深信Jonas n Gabe坐在sled 上，終於到達那幸福又civilized的elsewhere...此時，背景響起了充滿盼望的音樂。
我自己心想，就算jonas他們最後是死，那一幕都是描述他們死在盼望興喜樂中。
但Giver好像是trilogy or quartet來的，所以應該兒子是對的，他們沒有死。
作者: shadeslayer 時間: 13-4-6 01:05
The quartet: Giver, Gathering Blue, Messager and Son. But these seem to feature different protagonists from the original Giver and no sign of Jonas or Gabe.
I imagine Jonas was hallucinating before dying in Giver.

那就讓你女兒看看。看她對結局如何看法。
會不會是孩子普遍樂觀，成人悲觀呢？
不過，我的才11歲，你的應比他年紀大些，可能已可看出故事悲傷無奈的那一面。

有日行過 page one ，買左本有趣的書：
There is a question, "why do children have to listen to adults?" Or something like that. And other good questions answered.
From Amazon:
In the spirit of Schott’s Miscellany, The Magic of Reality, and The Dangerous Book for Boys comes Big Questions from Little People—a smart, illuminating, essential, and utterly delightful handbook for perplexed parents and their curious children. Author Gemma Elwin Harris has lovingly compiled weighty questions from precocious grade school children—queries that have long dumbfounded even intelligent adults—and she’s gathered together a notable crew of scientists, specialists, philosophers, and writers to answer them. Authors Mary Roach and Phillip Pullman, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, chef Gordon Ramsay, adventurist Bear Gryllis, and linguist Noam Chomsky are among the top experts responding to the Big Questions from Little People, (“Do animals have feelings?”, “Why can’t I tickle myself?”, “Who is God?”) with well-known comedians, columnists, and raconteurs offering hilarious alternative answers. Miles above your average general knowledge and trivia collections, this charming compendium is a book fans of the E.H. Gombrich classic, A Little History of the World, will adore.
