While I’ve heard plenty of praise for Crichton’s novel, I felt a certain sense of trepidation at the thought of reading it. I’ve been aware for quite some time the film is based on a novel, but it was only earlier this year I finally got around to giving the source material a go. ![]() I’ve seen the film many times over the years and, despite the advancements in filmmaking and CGI, it still holds up as a true classic and, like many others, it holds a special place in my heart. Like many children, I loved dinosaurs as a child, and I can still remember the sense of awe I felt the first time I watched the Jurassic Park. Those who’ve discovered the film in more recent years may be unaware that it is actually an adaptation of the 1990 novel of the same name by Michael Crichton. Steven Spielberg’s 1993 movie Jurassic Park is widely regarded as one of the most iconic movies in film history, and continues to bring dinosaurs to life for viewers across the world. “Frighteningly real…compelling.… It’ll keep you riveted” NO MAJOR SPOILERS ![]() ![]() It may take readers a few chapters to settle into Todd's voice and into the rules of his world, but once he hooks a reader, he never lets go. Semi-educated, loyal, and afraid of the things he discovers about himself and his world, Todd's journey to manhood and the definitions he accepts and rejects about what manhood means, is fascinating and disturbing all at once. The character of Todd is one of the most unique voices I've come across in YA literature. ![]() Readers will find a gold mine of thematic depths to parse, but will be so carried away by the unrelenting conflict and suspense that it may surprise them to find they've also been deeply challenged and unsettled once they turn the last page. It's also a look at colonization, racism, and what happens when men deviate from a society's accepted moral code and create their own. ![]() At its core, the story is a coming of age tale with some elements of the Chosen One motif. Told in the distinct semi-educated vernacular of the hero Todd, THE KNIFE OF NEVER LETTING GO is at once gritty, heartbreaking, compelling, and thought-provoking. ![]() ![]() ![]() Learning, growing in curiosity, pondering ideas, and creating new thoughts are not dependent primarily on academic studies or finding the right curriculum. We are passing on a life, not just information. Taking seriously the stewardship of their trust as we guide them should be an underlying motivation of our hearts as we commit to influencing them. “… Education is about relationship, about being worthy of the hope of our children. Children love to display this sort of intelligence, this prowess at gaining knowledge, confidence of holding something that matters. ![]() To gain mental muscie, the power of knowing and being able to express an idea gives a child and adult a sort of power in their worlds. Yet, having a real live person to lead into such wonders of the worlds of ideas and beauty is enfleshed through real live guides who lead the way enthusiastically to open doors to these worlds. Yet, I did find the secret! Human beings are naturally created with a desire to know, to understand, to solve mysteries, to see and explore. Yet, there is no formula or set of perfect books. This is the question that comes my way almost daily. “What was your secret to raising such articulate, interesting children? I follow them online. ![]() ![]() ![]() Jim Weiss has a rich, warm voice and narrates the story beautifully. I listened to the audio of this book with my eight-year-old daughter, and she immediately began trying to tame a crow (raccoons being verboten near our chickens). From the unfinished canoe in the living room to the fenced off Christmas tree, life in the North household is unconventional, but warm and radiating that sense of childhood innocence in nature that often feels absent in today's less rural world. ![]() Sterling relates the tales of his and Rascal's misadventures over the course of a year. His inseparable best friend, though, is Rascal, a young raccoon. An avid naturalist, Sterling raises a variety of unusual pets: Poe, the crow, two skunks, a drooling St. Things are pretty quiet in rural Wisconsin in 1917, unless, that is, you are eleven-year-old Sterling North. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Now at 18, the day Aria has been dreading for years is looming dangerously: her wedding to Luca.Īria is terrified of marrying a man she hardly knows, especially someone like Luca who got his nickname "The Vice" for crushing a man’s throat with his bare hands.

Needless to say, we were sometimes snowed in. ![]() There was a lot of snow in those days and my dad rigged a hand-built wooden snow plough to the front of his old Chevy, put chains on the tires and cleared the road to our house himself. Those are the first times I remember as a child – living at the end of a dead-end dirt road, in a house all alone in the middle of the forest. The road went to our house and nowhere else and for a couple of years we had no neighbours at all. He bought a plot of land in the bush outside town, and a road was cut through the trees, and there he and his two brothers built us a home. In 1960, my father moved his young family from Peterborough to Gravenhurst, the little northern Ontario community where he was born.
