Shannon Hale’s Books of Bayern! Sabriel by Garth Nix!

I should put a mild warning that some of the falcon’s adventures are a bit more salacious than I remembered (but not the time traveling one)

Also he loved the ad for Almost Pizza

Our 9 year old LOVED The Falconer, esp the time traveling one (if you can stomach Kevin Spacey). Of the digital shorts Throw It On the Ground is the clear winner.

These clips might give the impression these books are about fighting fascism, and they are, but this book is also about how we create meaning and the source of creativity and reckoning with growing older and feeling distant from the glory days but having to keep going and depression and human nature

I’m on The Secret Commonwealth in my re-read. Once again, the description of the opposition’s methods does not miss

Also Mark Ruffalo channeling Columbo is amazing.
