msbelle: Rosemary Sutcliff's historical novels are exciting, written for kids about that age. Mostly set in Roman Britain, but not all. Also Sherman Alexie's Absolutely True Diary, which has illustrations but isn't a graphic novel.
Tomorrow, When the War Began by John Marsden is a super-exciting novel about a bunch of kids in the Australian outback who come home from a camping trip to find out the country has been invaded and their families interned. It has sex and violence in it, but they're well-handled, psychologically believable, and it's just a great read. The sort of thing I would have adored around that age. (Possibly a little too old for Mac, I'm not sure. But I was reading Dunnett at 14, so I'm not one to know.)
Leguin's Annals of the Western Shore trilogy is YA: very well written, considers issues of oppression and colonialism.
At first I thought "thongs" might be a typo for "things" but then I realized where I was....
I might have had some thongs made with the logo for the company that I was a partner in before my current company.
Alex Rider series -- teen age boy that get recruited by the MI6 - good adventure. the first ones are for younger readers, and the books start skewing older
Autocorrect did try to change thongs to things.
I might have had some thongs made with the logo for the company that I was a partner in before my current company.
Well then, now is as good a time as any to have new ones made up with current company logo.
Might as well get flip-flops done, while you're at it.
Heh. Gothamist just called Fleet Week "Passover for Gays".
I've been planning to make some merch available associated with my book Cog using some of my purchased artwork with all proceeds going to a charity that fits into the Cog theme. Tried Girls Who Code, but they rejected me.
Congrats, ND!
Meanwhile, in Australia--bat invasion! [link]
