About this deal
She cocks her head and her hair shifts like a black cultured Silkese curtain across her narrow shoulders. Best known for his classic lift-the-flap title Dear Zoo, he is also the creator of the much loved character, Buster.
I catch the tail end of my mom's eye roll as she swings her black Silkese jacket around her shoulders. Goats,” she tells me for the millionth time, but I can never remember the difference between a goat and a sheep. It’s a lot to happen in just one book and parts of it are rushed, particularly as you get to the end. The fragrance of that roasting chicken would permeate the whole house, and you knew when it was done the skin would be brown and crispy and the meat would be tender and juicy.We can do family night without Mom,” I tell Grandma, hoping to avoid another awkward conversation about family life between the two of them.
I also liked Thalia's father - especially as you learn more and more about him throughout the book and the things he's done and the places he's come from. I definitely got the vibe that the author was tired of dragging out the story and tried to hurriedly wrap it up - but you're left with so many questions!
Above my navel but beneath that springy muscle, the diaphragm, that makes your lungs expand and contract. I try to say my name, Thalia Apple, but the words burble up from my throat and pop likebubbles in my mouth with a taste that’s faint and far away. I definitely recommend Hungry for fans of YA that loved the dystopian trend but got sick of the tropes!
