Louis Sachar -
- Someday Angeline
- The Boy Who Lost His Face
- There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom
- Dogs Don't Tell Jokes

All of these seem part of a similar universe: children at home & at school, often a bit perplexed by the adults' illogical world and/or their own emotions. The author's genius is to describe the predicaments of that world in a way that's both comical and emotionally true.

Dogs is kind of a sequel to Angeline, although they have different main characters. The other two might be one-offs. Of those four, I'd say my fave is the third, for the characterisation & for the unconditional-love plotline.

(I've also read & enjoyed the more famous "Holes". IIRC these ones follow younger children than the main characters in that.)

(Read in May & June 2023)

Liz Kessler - When the World Was Ours

Fiction following three children (two Jewish, one not) and their very different pathways through Nazi Austria & Germany. Unlike _some_ tacky Holocaust-misinformation books, this story is a mix of things which really happened, and things which _could_ really have happened. So it's a valuable resource for young people to learn about that part of history, as well as an absorbing story. I liked it that there were three main characters: their three different fates give us a wider map of those times than any one view could offer.

(Read in February 2023)

Seeking tender flesh,
And every single one
Pierces through a heart.” —
