![]() I recommend this book to people who have an enemy and want to get rid of them because this book may help you and it’s a good story. For example, Derek used to have Jeremy on his #1 spot on his enemy list until he took it down when Jeremy became his friend. ![]() I like that the book tells the story of going from having an enemy to having a friend. ![]() It was also funny, had a happy ending, and best of all it was a good story. I liked this book because it made me happy. That showed that they were getting along well.This book isn’t like any other book that I have read (not just because I read mostly chapter books) because it had a good lesson and a very happy ending. I like the book Enemy Pie because it made me happy like when Derek and Jeremy hid in the treehouse from Derek’s dad when it was time for dinner. Derek was outside playing when he smelled something REALLY good coming from the kitchen and thought, “enemy pie isn’t supposed to smell good.” He went into the kitchen and saw.you’ll have to read Enemy Pie to find out! But his dad said he didn’t need those and kept making the pie. ![]() ![]() His dad had a recipe: Enemy Pie! Derek offered his dad things for the pie from chewed gum to to earthworms. Derek is a boy who had an enemy and wanted to get rid of him. Have you ever had an enemy? Then you know how Derek feels. ![]()

This episode traces a tireless journalistic investigation of a shocking video that after 8 years, finally resulted in a 26-year conviction of the ship captain who ordered the cold-blooded killing. The shocking footage is then made public, and yet no government is willing to investigate, much less prosecute the murderers. A 10-minute slow-motion slaughter captured by a cell phone camera shows a group of unarmed men at sea, possibly 15 of them, killed one by one by a semiautomatic weapon, after which the culprits pose for celebratory selfies. ![]() Crimes like this don't often happen on land. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While all of her books explore these themes, OTHER BIRDS feels especially poignant, since the young main protagonist, Zoey, has had a very complicated family life (as have all of the characters, in one way or another), and so she sets herself to creating found family in the new home she finds herself in, though it happens naturally, and everyone around her kind of opens their petals to her warm, friendly sunshine. ![]() I love how she somehow conceives of the perfect magical elements to tie all the pieces of her stories together, providing the perfect dollop of enchantment to tales that speak to more realistic kinds of magic, like love, home, family, friendship, community and belonging.

And to make it even better, this was kind of like the adult version of Ukazu’s Check, Please! series, with quite a few parallels that I thoroughly enjoyed. Everything the last one I read ( Keeping Hope) did wrong, this one did right (especially the epilogues!). ![]() |
