It’s an invitation to compete for a coveted spot in the prestigious Wundrous Society. With not even a year’s worth of a future, things look bleak, but then the letter arrives. Unfortunately, experts have incorrectly predicted the length of this Age, and Morrigan will die in just a few days.

Career Īfter graduating, Forester's passion for storytelling led her to write and direct a short film for CBC. She studied and graduated from the University of Toronto. As a child, Forester hoped to become "the sort of princess who solved international crimes" until she became interested in synchronized swimming and, later, writing. When she was 7 years old, she was passionate to be a nun, but resisted such a calling after watching Julie Andrews's The Sound of Music. She is known for her novel, The Girl Who Could Fly.įorester was born and grew up in a remote farm in Ontario, Canada. Victoria Forester is a Canadian author and a screenwriter. Young adult fiction, fantasy, action, adventure ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You know times are weird when swarms of Bolivian bats swoop from the skies and kill humans-or, as one eyewitness reports of an unfortunate GI, off fighting the good fight against the drug lords, “they actually lifted him off his feet before they bored through him like hot knives through butter.” Meanwhile, up north, in the very near future, gasoline prices are soaring and New Orleans has been hit by a second hurricane. Literary author Cronin ( Mary and O’Neil, 2001, etc.) turns in an apocalyptic thriller in the spirit of Stephen King or Michael Crichton. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lyne, meanwhile, has his two leads engage in the kind of lubricious scenes you might expect from the director responsible for 1986's 9½ Weeks and the following year's Fatal Attraction. But there are some major differences: the movie takes place in the present day and takes longer than the book to definitively confirm that Affleck's character really is offing his spouse's beaus. ![]() Both book and movie, for example, start with Vic informing Melinda's current boyfriend at a party that he has killed a previous suitor, although in such a way that it can be taken as a joke. ![]() The film's screenplay, by Zach Helm ( Stranger Than Fiction) and Euphoria creator Sam Levinson, is in many ways very faithful to Highsmith's psychological thriller. The seemingly good-natured Vic has his own habit, which involves murdering the adulterous Melinda's boyfriends with near-clockwork regularity. In director Adrian Lyne's just-released-to-Hulu adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's 1957 novel Deep Water, Ben Affleck plays Vic, who has an unfaithful wife named Melinda - portrayed by Ana de Armas - and a fascination with the mating habits of snails. Warning: This article contains spoilers about Patricia Highsmith's novel Deep Water and Adrian Lyne's new film adaptation. ![]() ![]() ![]() The three kids leave notes for their parents and take a night bus to East Liverpool, Ohio (a few hour's bus ride away) hoping to return the following evening to avoid discovery. At first, Zach doesn’t believe them but after being shown evidence, he decides to tag along. ![]() Zach is awakened in the middle of the night by Alice and Poppy who tell him that Poppy has had a dream about the "Great Queen" (an antique doll her mother keeps locked in a glass cabinet that the kids use for the game) and that the doll is made from the bones and ashes of a dead girl named Eleanor Kerchner who is now a ghost and wants to be returned to her proper grave. Furious at his father, and embarrassed that he cares so much about a "kid's game", Zach decides not to tell Alice and Poppy what happened and instead says he just does not want to play anymore. ![]() One day Zach discovers that his father has thrown out all of his action figures including William, effectively ending the game. Poppy runs the game which involves Zach's character "William the Blade" and Alice's character "Lady Jaye" on a quest for the Great Queen aboard William's sailing ship, Neptune's Pearl. Zach, Alice, and Poppy play a role-playing game with Horrific action figures and metal cut-outs. ![]() ![]() Only one child in the class doesn’t laugh at his babyish shoes: Antonio Parker (a kid who also wears old tatty footwear, held together with tape). Jeremy feels humiliated and even more isolated. ![]() It seems as if every child at Jeremy’s school has the shoes he desperately wants, but can’t afford (as his grandmother points out, “there’s no room for want around here – just need.”) When his shoes fall apart, a teacher donates an old (desperately uncool) pair from the box kept aside for ‘kids who needs things’. A child living in poverty may feel excluded and humiliated if their family can’t afford things that other children have, and this book skilfully reflects and acknowledges this. But to the child, they can be a way of feeling that they ‘belong’ to their peer group. It’s easy for adults to dismiss a child’s obsession with owning the latest pair of trainers as an unnecessary indulgence.
