Readers will remember Farrin and Sadira long after the final page has been read.- Quill & Quire Starred Review by Ken Setteringon, author of the Stonewall Honor Book Branded by the Pink TriangleĮllis skillfully introduces readers to the social and political backdrop, showing in troubling detail how fear, suspicion, and historical animosities fragment Farrin's world and limit her freedom.Secondary characters provide fascinating windows into other perspectives and call attention to Iran's heterogeneity, creating a multidimensional portrait of corruption and cruelty, resistance and compassion.- The Horn Book Magazine Ellis once again proves she is a master storyteller. STARRED REVIEW Moon at Nine is a riveting tale of young girls being true to themselves and their love, set against a political and cultural backdrop few readers will have first-hand knowledge of. 1.2015 Ruth & Sylvia Schwartz Children's Book Award nomineeĢ015 Amelia Bloomer Project List selectionĢ015 Cooperative Children's Book Center ChoiceĢ015 Canadian Library Association Young Adult Book Award shortlistĢ015-2016 BC Teen Readers' Choice Stellar Award nomineeĢ014 Quill & Quire Book of the Year selectionĢ014 Canadian Children's Book Centre Best Books for Kids & Teens Starred Selection While we're not there yet, this list of books with numbers in the title from one to 13 will kickstart your own counting. If you're like me, pretty soon you'll be trying to see if you can count your books up to Farenheit 451 or even 1984. Your 'ones' will be abundant, and then you'll find A Tale of Two Cities mingling with the Lord of the Rings book The Two Towers The Crying of Lot 49finding an unusual home next to Fifty Shades of Grey One Hundred Years of Solitudewith The 100 and a childhood favorite The Hundred Dresses and then you have to battle for the first book on the shelf, if it's Ready Player One, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, One Day, or, perhaps fittingly, The Lucky One (Zac Efron not included). How do you organize your bookshelf? Do you line up the books by author last name, just like you learned from the library? Do you sort them by publication date, so the classics like Jane Eyre and Northanger Abbey find a home together, and you can see the latest trends in lit on your 2016 shelf? Do you arrange them by book cover color, so you end up with a rainbow bookshelf that lights up your room? I have a new idea for you: Take books with numbers in the title and put them together to see the fun match-ups that will find a shelf home together.
