Intermezzo ^^

    

     This is a little intermezzo .. Actually this note should I write as the first post on this blog, but first I was not thoughts to write this note. But rather than none at all, I wrote this note ..

     Why do I choose a family-themed novels as the topic of this blog? Because I like reading a novel with this theme. I like reading a novel that tells about the struggle of children who want to meet with their parents. Or about the children who can not get along with their parents, but because of a problem they can get back the warmth of the family. It is also interesting to read stories about families with various problems, and then they can overcome those problems with one force: love.
     While reading a novel with this theme, sometimes I was reminded by my family. And I am grateful to have family like them.
     From these novels I also learned that the most precious treasure for me in this world is when there are people who always loved me, with all my shortcomings, and always ready to help when I fell. My family.

Dancing On The Edge *The book is very-very-very I highly recommend to read*

        In "Dancing on the Edge" that I met some fictional character with a very interesting character. In addition, the background of each character in the novel is also very unique, thus creating a common tisak storyline, unpredictable. Very great.

      The main character of this novel is a Miracle McCloy, a girl who feels like a misfit, but have been told time to time how special he is, because he is a "living baby out of the body of a dead woman," or, as her grandmother Gigi said, " The biggest miracle ever come down the spear. " Miracle pregnant mother was killed after being hit by an ambulance speeding, but the baby girl, Miracle, was saved.

      His parents left, Dane, almost no maintenance. Instead, he's a bird, the strange jelly. A magical novelist at age 13, she now sits in the bathroom in his basement, "Cave," walking around, pondering and hoping for inspiration to strike. Meanwhile, her teeth digging in the occult, to improvise and spells. One day, when Dane suddenly disappeared, she said the Miracle that his father had just "melt."

     After this disaster strange, Gigi and Miracle leave Alabama to live with his ex-Gigi's husband, the grandfather of Opal. For weeks Miracle did not even see his grandfather, despite being in the same house, but people who seem to rough it turns out to be one of the few sources of stability in his life. He secretly arrange for him to take dancing lessons and got her bike. Finally he has a sense of freedom, and he discovered that dancing is the love of her life, one activity that really made him feel special.

     All the secrets and peculiarities in the life of Miracle began to overflow when it began to imitate Dental Miracle by spells and making love potions for her classmates. When another girl accuses Miracle of a fake evicted, Miracle sets fire to himself and placed in a mental hospital.

     "Dancing on the Edge" is an excellent book for adult readers young adults ready to deal with themes such as mental illness and suicide.

     Han Nolan is a decent writer to win the award for best novel, one of five finalists for the National Book Award 1997 for Young People's Literature. With "Dancing on the Edge," took him some mighty big opportunity to explore dark themes such as dependence on the occult, mental illness and the family lie, but he skillfully managed to maintain a balancing act. Nolan did not take the easy way out, like letting Miracle to be "delivered" by the dance, have a wonderful outlet sweep all the many problems left. Life was never so easy, and also not smooth like a novel.

"Dancing On The Edge" by Han Nolan is a very interesting novel
