![]() ![]() The suspense never lets up, and there are plenty of unpredictable twists as Casey and Dylan work together to evade the police. If I Live starts with a bang, as fugitive Casey narrowly escapes capture. ![]() As he tracks her through If I Run and If I’m Found, he comes to believe her story-that she’s been set up the men behind her father’s death twelve years ago. You have been warned … Casey Cox is on the run again (still?) after being set up as the supposed killer of her friend, Brent Pace.īrent’s parents don’t believe Casey is responsible, so hire PI Dylan Roberts to investigate. ![]() If I Live picks up almost exactly where If I’m Found ends, so if you’re one of those readers who has the patience to wait for the whole series before you read the first book, this series is perfect for you.Īlso, if you haven’t read If I Run and If I’m Found, you probably shouldn’t read this (or any) review, as they will inevitably contain spoilers about the earlier books. If I Live is the final book in a trilogy, and don’t even think about reading it if you haven’t already read If I Run and If I’m Found. ![]()

![]() It's magical, you know, when the movers come to carry it away. Trolley line, elevated train, subway, skyscrapers, you can hardly see the poor house. We have to read quickly now she needs to know. But the city is encroaching, surrounding, swallowing the little pink house, and Rilla has picked up the urgency. Steam shovel, big rocks, little rocks, tar, steamroller. The road comes rolling out from the distant city that's Huck's page to study. We must pause while Rilla touches each crescent and disk, naming the days. And then the next spread, the calendar of moons. The sun arcs across the page and this must be pored over, wait, Mommy, don't turn the page yet. The house is built, the countryside blooms, the seasons change. I love quiet books like The Little House, the kind that tiptoe their way into a child's heart. ![]() Huck climbs half on top of me and begins to count the trees around the little pink house. She has a laugh her sisters call the Evil Chipmunk. "Hot pink," she murmurs approvingly, studying the cover. She'll give almost anything a chance, if there's pink involved. ![]() "It's about a big city growing up around this little pink house." ![]() Rilla isn't sure she likes the look of Virginia Lee Burton's The Little House. ![]() ![]() ![]() Other winners for Burke included Duerfeldt in the 100 (13.89), Bolander in the 1600 (6:16.69), Frank in the 3200 (12:49.2), Hanson in the 100 hurdles (15.83) and the 300 hurdles (48.50), Paige Bull in the discus (119 feet, 7 inches) and Daytona Paris in the high jump (4 feet, 8 inches).īurke scored a total of 220 points, followed by Corsica-Stickney (94.5), Andes Central/Dakota Christian (86), Avon (74.5) and Wessington Springs (61) to make up the top five.Ĭorsica-Stickney won the boys side with 122 points, edging out Burke by one point. In the 1600 sprint medley, it was Hanson, Duerfeldt, Breckynn Pistulka and Kailee Frank who won in 4:30.79. Brylie Pistulka, Breckynn Pistulka, Hood and Piper Hanson won the 4x400 (4:17.95), while Sophia Bauld, Brylie Pistulka, Brecken Bolander and Kailee Frank made up the triumphant quartet in the 4x800 (10:29.45). Madyson Wendell, Addi Hood, Braelyn Duerfeldt and Breckynn Pistulka made up the winning 4x100 team (52.66 seconds), while Bridget Bartling replaced Addi Hood on the winning 4x200 team (1:50.63). ![]() The Cougars dominated the relays, winning every one. The only girls team to score triple-digit points, Burke cruised to a team win at the Region 5B track meet on Thursday. ![]() ![]() ![]() But while it could’ve very easily been an academic tome, Rinzler - an Executive Editor at Lucasfilm - smartly writes with a more conversational style, even when getting detailed about the budget or other aspects of the film’s business machinations. Published by Del Rey/Lucas Books, The Making Of Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi starts long before filming began, and meticulously documents every stage of the production, from the early ideas and concepts up through the movie’s release in 1983. Will enjoy it as well, The Making Of Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi - like Rinzler’s previous Star Wars making-of books: 2005’s The Making Of Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith, 2007’s The Making Of Star Wars, and 2010’s The Making Of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back - is a fascinating but also breezily written and even funny book that will appeal to casual fans of the film as well. But if you think this makes the book just for film students or people who have to know every single trivial detail about this film, you couldn’t be more wrong. Rinzler’s The Making Of Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi ( hardcover, Kindle), we learn, in great detail, how the titular sci-fi movie was made, complete with behind-the-scenes photos, numerous new interviews, original concept drawings, script pages, and other bits of movie minutiae. ![]() ![]() She is naive and extremely curious, wanting to experience all life has to offer without really understanding the consequences. She finds herself constantly pulled between her wish to be a good daughter and her desire to see and feel things she hasn’t been able to experience. Carlota’s story is that of a girl coming of age in a world she is wholly unprepared for. The story is told from the alternating POV’s of Carlota and Montgomery. His arrival sets into motion a chain of events that will change their lives forever, throwing everything they knew into the wind and bringing to light the true purpose behind the Doctor’s monstrosities. Their lives are quiet, simple and monotonous, that is until the arrival of Eduardo Lizalde, the son of the Doctor’s patron. Her days are spent helping her father with his hybrids, half animal half human creations, created to blindly obey the Doctor, and Montgomery Laughton an outcast who finds himself in the Doctor’s employ. Carlota Moreau had led a sheltered life on her distant estate far from any trouble on the Yucatán peninsula. ![]() |
