The warmth of his body with his leg pressed against mine was not lost on me. I brushed the white lint off the black material of my dress and walked toward him, taking a seat next to him on the couch. I stopped in my tracks and turned around. When I got to the hallway where the stairs were located, the sound of his voice startled me. The problem was I had to pass him in order to get to the stairs.ĭespite his upsetting me earlier, the need to comfort him was overwhelming, but I knew after what he’d said to me, that it wasn’t my place. Nevertheless, I didn’t want him to see me. Perhaps it was the breakdown I’d seen coming earlier by the look on his face upstairs. This was a private moment, and I was inadvertently intruding on it. His ears were red, and his back was rising and falling from the heaviness of his breathing. When he lowered his hands, he was still looking down. He leaned into his knees with both of his palms plastered to each side of his head. When I came out, the hairs on my body stiffened at the sight of Elec alone on one of the couches. Upon entering the quiet of the lower level, I finally saw the sign for the bathroom at the other end of the room. It smelled a little musty, but it was a relief to escape the noise of the crowd. I hadn’t been able to find it and eventually made my way downstairs to an empty seating area. I had to go to the bathroom at one point, so I let my mother know I’d be right back.

Written by: Sholly Fisch art by: various (see below) Updated on Scooby-Doo Team-Up, volume 8: It’s Scooby Time Even if Joshua or someone else actually wrote the original manuscripts, the teaching and revelation can be traced from God through Moses. While there are some verses in the Pentateuch that would appear to have been added by someone later than Moses, for example, Deuteronomy 34:5–8, which describes the death and burial of Moses, most if not all scholars attribute the majority of these books to Moses. Even though the books of the Pentateuch themselves do not clearly identify the author, there are many passages that attribute them to Moses or as being his words (Exodus 17:14, 24:4–7 Numbers 33:1–2 Deuteronomy 31:9–22). The Pentateuch is the first five books of the Bible that conservative Bible scholars believe were mostly written by Moses. Plus, a lot of things that happen to Olivia are largely in her mind, so I’d take it with a grain of salt. I don’t mean to offend anybody, but it’s a way of asserting Olivia’s independence. Does her confidence represent your wish that children resist conformism? Olivia wears basic black, models non-Western princess garb, and stands apart from the throng. The line just sort of came out (no pun intended) and I thought it was funny. Either they didn’t dare or it’s simply a non-issue now. I thought it was pretty spontaneous, or at least articulate enough to be nonscripted.Īs you wrote this manuscript, did you run into any controversy with editors around Olivia identifying “some of the boys” as wanting to be princesses as well, not unlike the child in My Princess Boy? She goes on a rant and says, “Why do boys get all these different things? We all have to get pink!” That made me feel very happy. But then I saw a viral video of a little girl filmed by her father in a store, in the pink aisle with all the girl stuff. I started the book about a year ago, and I had some doubts. So the book emerged from my frustration with trying to get some good quality stories and dolls and outfits and things that reflected Olivia more than the standard tutu.Īre you at all nervous about how pink devotees will respond to Olivia’s rejection of such accoutrements? In the first book she does a little ballet thing, but it’s not really her character. Pink doesn’t make sense with Olivia because she is not that kind of creature anyway. A suspect for the investigation, a target for the murderer, and attracting the attentions of a mysterious young admirer who may be connected to it all, Maddie's whole existence is about to be turned upside down.

Violet lives in a world where royalty have surrogates. Well, it turns out The Jewel, while not something I detested, was very mediocre, sad to say. Maybe I’m just different from those other readers. However, I went into it with an open mind–maybe I’d really enjoy it. I was at first excited to read it (well, I’m always excited to read everything, so that’s not news), but after hearing some negative reviews recently my expectations dropped a bit. | My copy: Hardcover, 358 pages, HarperTeen, HarperCollinsPublishers, 2014. The Jewel by Amy Ewing (The Lone City, #1). The Rent Collector is a story about hope and our human condition, and those are things that don’t change. As it turns out, I changed almost nothing. It was the first time I’d been to the country and I was worried that after the visit, I would need to rewrite large sections of my story. Once The Rent Collector was picked up for publication, I traveled to Cambodia to present an advance copy to Sang Ly. And I read books on literature, writing and myth, as these were all important to the story I wanted to tell. I also read numerous books on Cambodia that covered the geography, people, and the country’s unbelievable and often horrific history. KB: Besides studying your son’s film footage, what kind of research (if any) did you have to do?ĬW: I relied quite heavily on my son’s experience as someone who lived in the country for several years and speaks fluent Khmer. More than the setting, however, I was struck by the courage and fortitude of the people, especially Sang Ly, who was relentless in her search of a cure for her ailing son. Living at the dump provided the means for Sang Ly’s family to stay together, but at the same time, it was killing her son. I was immediately taken by the notion of a garbage dump as the story’s setting, since it’s so rich in irony and metaphor. Krista Bean: Where did the idea for The Rent Collector come from?Ĭamron Wright: My book was inspired by a documentary that my son filmed at the Stung Meanchey dump in Cambodia.
