Lark is the queen of breakups. When she ends things with a boy, there are never any hard feelings. Sometimes he doesn't even realize that she broke up with him. And that's exactly how Lark likes it. What's the point in hurting people? Or getting hurt?
Her best friends, Cooper and Katie, think Lark's dating pattern is tragic. How can she know what love is if she refuses to take risks? They dare her to finally have a bad breakup, one that matters. To appease her friends, Lark selects "Undateable" Ardy Tate as her target. He's a mysterious challenge and completely different from any guy she's ever dated. Can she win him over? Will she break his heart? Or will the Queen of Breakups have her heart broken?
Fall in love with another YA romance from Jen Klein, the author of Shuffle, Repeat, which SLJ praised as "addictive. Fans of Deb Caletti and Sarah Dessen will enjoy this sweet romance."
And Jen Klein knows motherhood. She's survived changing a soiled
diaper in a truck-stop bathroom while suspending a baby in mid-air.
She's witnessed the judgment of the so-called "Mommy Mafia." She's
found dried applesauce on her shirt. And in her hair. And the
baby's hair. And the dog's fur.
Here she reveals secrets she's learned along the way about
mastering the art of motherhood, from how to handle strangers who
ask how much weight you've gained to (finally ) getting them on the
big yellow bus--on time and with clean underwear. Inside
"SheKnows.com Presents: The Mommy Files" you'll find:
- Your mom didn't know what she was doing either
- A pediatrician is your partner, not your adversary
- Playgroups are for moms more than they are for kids
- Just because they can talk doesn't mean they can reason
- Being a supermom is all about asking for help
Disclosed here in a friendly, wry look at motherhood, Jen Klein
takes you through each lovable (and less than enjoyable) step
toward that coveted title that will be screamed at you so many
times in the years to come: "Mommy "
Faszinierender Artenreichtum, Apotheke der Natur und grune Lunge
des Planeten - mit dem Urwald verbinden sich im Alltag vor allem
positive Assoziationen. Als Schauplatz fiktionaler Filme kommt er
dagegen vielfach negativ daher. Die Brucke am Kwai, Apocalypto,
Predator oder Apocalypse Now zeigen die Wildnis schon allein
aufgrund des inhaltlichen Kontextes vor allem als gefahrlichen und
unberechenbaren Ort. Klaffen offentliche Wahrnehmung und filmische
Darstellung vor allem in fiktionalen Filmen auseinander oder wird
der Urwald auch in dokumentarischen Filmen ahnlich inszeniert? Der
Autor geht dieser Frage nach, indem er die Filme "Fitzcarraldo" und
"The White Diamond" des deutschen Regisseurs Werner Herzog
miteinander vergleicht. Neben eigenen Beobachtungen fliessen auch
Produktionsnotizen sowie tatsachliche Charakteristika des Urwalds
in die Analyse ein. Die filmwissenschaftliche Diskussion uber die
Auflosung der Genregrenzen spielt dabei ebenfalls eine Rolle
