Lindsay (1717 KP) rated LUCY and la petite nouvelle: The Newcomer (The Front Porch Diaries #1) in Books

Like I said it does talk about race a bit. It set in the year 1960's so we are going to to see the reactions that will happen. What it mostly about seem to focus on friendships, growing up and siblings throughout the book.
There are some good life lessons to learn though out the book as well. Lucy seem to try and make friends with Simone and show her new friend around. We see how Lucy deals with some problems. Eddie seem to be good part of it as well and showing Simone's brother around.
I enjoy the story and life lessons learned though the book and how it told. Good for children in middle grade. We learn a bit of french and a little bit of history as well. We do read the story though the viewpoint of Lucy.

Although this book was an easy read, I definitely felt of the lack of Eric's voice. It would have been nice to hear what he felt about Allison as the story progressed rather than just her.
Allison has a lot of learning to do in this book and Jordan is with her every step of the way. She is everything you would ever want in a friend. Other characters are clear-cut as to whether you like them or not and some are question marks all the way through. I'll let you decide which is which.
All in all, this was a great story that I enjoyed in a genre not usually one I read much of. I have no hesitation in recommending this book.

Matthew Krueger (10051 KP) rated Knack in Video Games
Dec 20, 2020
Upon release, Knack was met with a mixed critical response; reviewers praised the game's original concept and ideas, but criticized the gameplay, level of difficulty, and story.
A good concept for a game: The player navigates the titular character Knack through a series of levels viewed in a fixed camera, third-person-style view. Knack is a living humanoid organism that consists of Relics; a large central Relic is always surrounded by a varying number of smaller Relics. The story follows Knack and his creator on a journey to save humankind from a species known as the Goblins. However, one of Knack's creator's former friends goes rogue, and Knack and his allies must stop the antagonist's evil plans.
It just wasnt what people wanted. It was a huge let down, for a new console game. One of the leading ones.
Its sequel didnt do good as well.
Knack, no one remembers you.
