While the rest of the world was lining up to watch the latest mediocre Godzilla flick, I was finding myself joyously entertained by Thea Sharrock's delightful and humorous Wicked Little Letters.
Wicked Little Letters is a lovely little film that tells a story with which you're probably not familiar. You'll find yourself, as I did, rushing over to the internet to learn even more about this absurd but true story and these remarkable characters. With a stellar ensemble bringing her vision to life, Thea Sharrock has crafted one of 2024's most entertaining indie gems.
Book Review of the Week: The Secret Language of Birds by Lynne Kelly
It's no secret that after a more intense reading experience I tend to gravitate toward something to clean my literary palate. Award-winning author Lynne Kelly's "The Secret Language of Birds" has been just such an experience, a beautifully told story that warms the heart and captivates the mind with equal vigor.
The story centers around Nina, an oddball of sorts in both her large family and at school. Attempting to sort some things out, she decides to spend part of her Summer at her aunt Audrey's summer camp to the shock and slight dismay of her loving but somewhat detached parents.
"The Secret Language of Birds" is one for the collection, a delightful middle-grade novel with believable characters and a story destined to become a classic. I enjoyed it from beginning to end and can't wait to read it all over again.
