![]() ![]() In Schipbreuk van Marco Kamphues en Franse Les van Ewoud Sanders betreft het relaties tussen man en vrouw, terwijl ontluikende homoseksualiteit voorop staat in Splinter Chabots Confettiregen en Paul Haenens Ik heb bekend. The anthology provides a superb overview but readers are stuck with the frustration of having to content themselves with brief fragments averaging nine or ten pages each, just enough to arouse curiosity for the entire novel. Giphart's anthology runs from De kleine republiek ('The Little Republic') by Lodewijk van Deyssel (1888) to De belofte van Pisa ('The Promise of Pisa') by Mano Bouzamour (2013), ranked in inverted chronological order. ![]() ![]() A recent survey compiled by Ronald Giphart contains 100 coming-of-age stories that have appealed to readers during the past century or so. There are numerous youthful heroes in Dutch fiction. ![]() Het is een prachtig overzicht maar als lezerservaring blijft het bij brokstukken van gemiddeld 9 á 10 pagina's, net genoeg om belangstelling voor het gehele boek op te wekken. Gipharts bloemlezing loopt, in omgekeerd chronologische volgorde, van Lodewijk van Deyssels De kleine republiek (1888) tot De belofte van Pisa van Mano Bouzamour (2013). Een recent overzicht onder redactie van Ronald Giphart laat zien dat je moeiteloos honderd boeiende coming-of-age verhalen, ruim geïnterpreteerd, uit de laatste eeuw bij elkaar kunt sprokkelen. Het wemelt van de jeugdige helden in de Nederlandse literatuur. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() All in all, this is a well-constructed book, one that ultimately provides a good model of girl friendship. But when the narrator tells Julie she is not going to do it anymore, her friend angrily tells her, "Enjoy your new life." The author realistically captures the tension between teens and parents: when narrator Julie asks her mother if she can see a therapist, her mother agrees without asking questions, leaving the girl feeling "kind of bummed out." Pollack includes other full-bodied characters, from the heroine's first boyfriend, who can be romantic but pushes her sexually, to her best friend's own liberal mother, whose blasé attitude when her daughter is finally arrested comes off as more cold than casual. Klepto Author Jenny Pollack Publisher Penguin, 2008 ISBN 1101176709, 9781101176702 Length 288 pages Subjects Young Adult Fiction Social Themes Friendship Young Adult Fiction / School &. Soon, the 14-year-old is stealing clothes and jewelry all the time, first at Julie's prodding and then even alone-and she's not sure she can stop. Readers may not always be attuned to the references to '80s fashion, music, TV shows and hairstyles in this first novel set in 1981, but they will certainly find it easy to relate to the narrator, who introduces herself as "Julie Also." Julie Prodsky feels undeservedly lucky for her friendship with her new "too cool and exotic" friend-Julie Braverman-whom she meets right as she is starting at New York's High School of Performing Arts. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Role-play and drama is a great way to get the children to innovate their own ideas for how to catch a star and the wackier the better! I like to use ‘Marking Ladders’ to provide steps to success to support children’s learning – they can be easily found if you Google them. This can be written up in a simple format following the key features of writing instructions. The children learn this text map and then innovate it, choosing their own way to catch one. I then like to change things a little by creating an instructional text ‘How to Catch a Star’. The simple illustrations can be used as a sequencing activity on a time line or a washing line as the children retell it independently. I have found that a Talk 4 Writing approach works really well with this story as it has a simple and repetitive structure that is easy to learn orally through use of a simple story map. If you want to be less ethereal then Perry Como’s ‘Catch a Falling Star’ creates a more upbeat feel… ![]() ![]() ![]() In her professorial guise, she's written a New York Times op-ed defending romance, as well as articles published everywhere from women's magazines such as More to writers' journals such as the Romance Writers' Report.
