Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2621 KP) rated The Bridge to Never Land (Peter and the Starcatchers, #5) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Sarah and Aidan Cooper find a note hidden in a desk that leads them on a wild adventure. Could it be that the Peter and the Starcatchers books were real?

The book starts off a little slowly, but once it gets going, it's a wild ride. It takes the world they've created in the previous books and brings it to modern day America, so be sure to read the others first, but if you liked them, you'll like this one, too.

A place to escape

Instagram is a good place to escape for a bit with nice pictures and videos of travel and fun things to do all over the world, or just a nice place to keep up with your friends or favorite celebrities. It's got a little bit for everyone and is pretty user friendly. You can add your own pictures or 60 second videos to your timeline or you can even add to a story in real-time. If you want to interact on the spot there is also a live feature. It's a great app for everyone.

Amazing from the Start

From the very first episode starring a chimpanzee named David, this show has been another BBC and Attenborough gem. The entire story is shot beautifully by an experienced camera crew who spends years with the animals. Each episode focuses on a different family group in a different part of the world, giving viewers a glimpse into the group's inner-workings. No hardship or heartbreak is omitted, creating an emotional journey each episode. Each episode ends with a look into the real issues surrounding the conservation of the star species.

Very well written

I love this book

I loved this book, it is so well written, it draws you in and makes you feel like you are there, brought me to tears a few times. This shockingly true story is a fantastic human look at the atrocities that people suffered in the most notorious concentration camps in the second world war and the real struggle to survive just to beat the Nazi's. I don't think I have read a better book about experiences in a Nazi concentration camp, heart breaking and heart warming.

This is the second book I have read by this author, and I am in love with the writing style. The story is a simple tale of thinking back on life, fitting together the pieces of how you got to where you are in life, but the themes touch upon harsh truths and hit my emotions hard! Ishiguro has an amazing talent for creating a world that feels real with a tinge of the dreamlike. His consistent theme of memory is played out beautiful from story to story. I absolutely loved this book and would highly recommend it.
