His bravery and steadiness anchor the story and propel the plot as his role in espionage sets off events that introduce a villain and draw together some endearing side characters (like Red, Dot, and Camden!).Īnd the romance between Drake and Margot… it shines! It is SMART and one the reader wants to root for. Drake recognizes her intelligence from the start, which is one of the reasons they are well suited. My brain doesn’t work like that, so her character allows for empathy and understanding in a different way. Margot is brilliant and I love seeing how she processes the world through numbers and equations. Much of the story backdrop is the intelligence agency of Room 40 during WWI, which lends a fascinating behind the scenes perspective and several real-life facts (have I mentioned how much I love author’s notes?). A perfect blend of history and romance, The Number of Love has intrigue and secrets aplenty. ![]() 5/24/2023 0 Comments The stolen letter edgar allan poe![]() ![]() Or, a useful refresher for teachers to help them decide if they would like to use this story in the classroom.

We met in 1973 at the Newbery–Caldecott announcement reception. Gerald originally produced Anansi the Spider as an animated film and since he knew of no precedents for transforming a film into a picture book, he made it his responsibility to solve the technical problems involved. Gerald then realized that his work as a book illustrator was valued by children’s librarians, even though he was at first a film artist. The awarding of the 1975 Caldecott Medal for Arrow to the Sun (Viking) concludes a critical period for Gerald McDermott, a period begun two years earlier when Anansi the Spider (Holt) was designated a Caldecott Honor Book. ![]() Photo courtesy of the Association for Library Service to Children/American Library Association.
