Breaktime | Aidan Chambers
4 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
The first two novels in Printz-winner Aidan Chambers s Dance Sequence are at last available in a fresh format that will draw teens to these classics of YA literature."""Literature is crap. Fiction is, anyway. A pretense. Ersatz. . . . When you read a story you are pretending a lie. Morgan "What begins as a game for Dittothe refutation of his friend Morgan s Charges Against Literaturequickly escalates into a multilevel challenge. After Ditto s father suffers a heart attack in the middle of one of their fights, Ditto decides he has to get away for a few days to sort out his life. His chronicle of his experiences becomes his rebuttal to Morgan s Charges. But is this thought-provoking examination of people and ideas all fact . . . or fiction? Aidan Chambers leaves it up to the reader to decide in this novel that "Publishers Weekly "calls excruciatingly funny as well as touching. Includes a new afterword from the author!Praise for Aidan ChambersMichael L. Printz Award winnerCarnegie Medal winnerHans Christian Andersen Award winner"

Not reading that book, but Hour 15 of #24in48 taking a break. Took my son to a farm tour at an aquaponic farm and to look at Chevy Camaros!! Then BathFitters stopped by to tell our landlord what we've been saying for years, we need a new bathroom. Last time we were at the library my kids got these great stress balls for completing a task for the summer reading program so I'm gonna do what it says Have a ball Read a good book!

I naively thought that Litsy was a safe place. I listened to so many of my friends on here say how this was the only place they could be themselves. I was happy that they could read and talk about book here. But when the election was over, it became an ugly place. It ISN'T a safe for women like me. I know I'm in the minority, and I am fine with that. I am taking a break from Litsy. Best wishes and God Bless. I hope someday I'll feel welcome here.

saresmoore So sorry to hear that it isn't a safe place for you. But having felt the damaging effects of various social media in the past, I commend you for making a tough choice. 8y
TheBookAddict Sorry to hear that you don't feel safe here. I wish you the best, take care, and may God bless you and yours. 8y

Zelma I'm so sorry to hear this and that you feel this way. I feel kind if similar and am just trying to ignore the politics. It's my one non-political space online and I don't want to lose the joy. 8y
Elephantango I'm glad you're talking about it. Everyone needs to have their voice heard! Self care is number one. 8y
BeckyD I'm trying to ignore the political stuff too. I hope it goes back to books soon. 8y
Suet624 I'm just now seeing your post. I hope you will continue to speak up if you are upset about the political content. There are many other places for us to express our discontent. Litsy doesn't have to be the place. We just might need a reminder. (edited) 8y
