I think we're all familiar with the concept that beauty is simplicity, and I certainly think that this book right here, fits the description perfectly. Apple and Rain does not have a complex premise full of twists, turns and unpredictable sequences. The writing was poetic, but not overly so. It was simple, but pleasant, seamless and fully capable of guiding the reader towards the core of the story. I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher via NetGalley. This is no way impacted in my view.

Apple and Rain by Sarah Crossan Teachers’ Guide to Apple and Rain by Sarah Crossan

So when Apple, desperate for her mother’s approval actually does move in with her mother, and meets Rain, her sister, I was confused. And then I had my oh, okay moment when I realised that I wasn’t completely wrong in my initial assumption. Sad Apple does indeed meet sadder Rain with double mommy issues. I knew then that I’d found myself a MG coming-of-age read. She’s rubbish and she can’t cope but there’s nothing amazingly well-done about the character. She mostly drinks and runs off on ‘auditions’. There’s no impression that she’s really trying to be a better parent, she’s just reluctant to be a parent.I’ve read all of Sarah Crossan’s novels now, and in my opinion, Apple and Rain is her best work so far. This book is filled with emotions, and is bound to make anyone feel. A tale of coming of age, learning what real love is and different forms of love, Apple and Rain transcended my high expectations. Overall, I do like the characters, I think they were well done and well written but somehow I wasn’t as emotionally attached as I could have been. I don’t know why but the book didn’t really make me feel anything too strongly, although that may be in part due to my being a little too old for it.

I think Sarah Crossan’s way of writing Rain and of dealing with her mental illness is really very admirable. She’s done this well. Marit vowed never to use magic again – its force can be fatal. But when her best friend Eve is adopted by a legendary former dancer, Marit draws upon her powers to secure a job with the wealthy family so that she can watch over her. But Marit has another, secret motivation: her father died while working in the family's mines, and she has reason to believe he was murdered.The book follows Apple Apostolopoulou (real name Apollinia, which is apparently greek, so not so stupid after all). She’s 13 and lives with her Nan since her mum disappeared when she was 2 and her dad seems generally unwilling to be her parent.

Bueno, está Del, pero lo único memorable de él es cómo espía a sus vecinos con sus binoculares y cómo ayuda a Apple, especialmente con Rain. Fue lindo, pero no fue suficiente para restar valor al resto de las cosas horribles de la historia. Nana de Apple es probablemente el personaje más agradable del libro que realmente se preocupa por ella lo suficiente, y odié verla dejar de lado.

Neben Apple, ihrer Mutter und ihrer Großmutter spielen auch Rain und Del eine wichtige Rolle. Sämtliche Figuren sind dabei gut ausgearbeitet und besitzen eine gewisse Tiefe. Ich muss zwar sagen, dass besonders Apples Mutter nicht wirklich sympathisch war, ich sie aber dennoch in gewisser Art und Weise verstehen konnte. Am meisten habe ich jedoch Apple ins Herz geschlossen, denn diese war mir nicht nur sehr sympathisch, sondern ich konnte auch mit ihr mitfühlen und mich somit in sie hineinversetzen.

Cece gets some hearing aids and they are called the phonic ear, she can hear just about everything her teacher does: Going to the lavatory, private conversations and lots more. Because Cece can hear everything her whole class thinks that she is a superhero.La otra parte triste e inquietante de Apple & Rain fue sobre los problemas psicológicos de Rain y cómo trata a una muñeca como una persona real. Lleva a Jenny y la alimenta, le habla como a una niña de verdad y prácticamente se podían ver los efectos del abandono en Rain a los 10 años. Aparte de eso, también está el acoso y cómo Apple lo maneja en la escuela. ¿Hay algo de qué alegrarse en este libro? Apple's shakeup of the market has spurred Qualcomm to redouble its efforts to make Arm-based chips for Windows, announcing plans last week to release a chip that is both faster and more energy efficient than some Apple offerings. Reuters last week reported that Nvidia also plans to jump into the PC market as early as 2025. Corporate buying

Romantic Rain Walk Art | Figurative & Emotional Oil Painting Poster | Leonid Afremov Style | Umbrella Couple Wall Decor I must admit that I was expecting this book to be about a teenage girl going through a tough time who finds a boy who is also going through a tough time and then they bond and fall in love. But then Apple meets Rain, her new half sister. Rain has a doll called Jenny and Apple finds her really strange. Rain plays with it constantly and feeds it, she takes it out, she changes its nappy and one time Apple found it hard to stop Rain calling the ambulance! Because her mum is obsessed with acting she constantly leaves Apple in charge of Rain for long periods of time. Eventually Apple realises that her mum is only interested in her for babysitting. But Apple doesn’t say anything because she would never want to ruin her mum’s life. Towards the end, you could kind of see what would happen next, but, even so, when it actually came, it was still heart racing and exciting, and I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next, and hoping beyond everything, that it would all be ok in the end. Though poetry has never be a favourite of mine, I really enjoyed Apple's poems throughout the novel, and how her teacher seemed to really care about her, and saw her potential. Apple was actually such an outstanding protagonist, and her relationships with every single character were truly wonderful.

A story of the redeeming power of love. It's beautifully written and it made me cry but it also made me laugh' - The Bookbag I really enjoyed this book, because it was mysterious and exciting. You never knew what was coming at you and sometimes it was like words were hurtling towards your face. I only wish that you found out a bit more about what happened to Holly at the end of the book. But that was my only doubt. I read Apple and Rain in one sitting. It was incredibly addictive, and it drew me in from the first sentence. Sarah Crossan writes with insight and honesty in this moving story of family, friendship, and love’ Claire Furniss, author of The Year of the Rat Another indicator of Apple’s maturity is how much she doesn’t hate her dad, even though she probably should. He’s rubbish and clearly doesn’t want anything to do with her, even though he is her father but Apple doesn’t really seem to blame him – she even says that he was just unfortunate enough to be dating her mother when she got pregnant. This annoyed me quite a bit actually, because her father is as responsible as her mother for her existence and he should step up and be her father. When you have a child, you have to make sacrifices, even if you never wanted that child. If you brought them into the world, they’re your responsibility.
