With leaves turning golden, nights drawing in and fires being lit, autumn is the perfect time to settle down in a comfy chair with some poetry for company. Here is a selection of our favourite poems about what John Keats called the ‘season of mists and mellow fruitfulness', including autmnal poems by classic and contemporary poets, including Robert Frost, Emily Brontë and Gillian Clarke. That brings us, of course, to Rain. She’s 10 years old, making her only 3 years younger than Apple but she is far, far less mature and seems to be having some mental health issues. She carries around a doll names Jenny and treats it as much as she can like a real baby – feeding it milk, changing its nappies, starting to decide Jenny’s ill and insisting she must be taken to the doctor. This, of course, is all signs of Rain’s inability to cope, desperate need for some guidance by a less useless adult than her mother. Additionally, as it’s pointed out by another character, Rain’s insistence that Jenny be taken to the doctor as Rain’s way of admitting that she knows she needs to see a doctor. I read Sarah Crossan's One not that long ago and I was really impressed by both the prose (the whole book is written in verse) and the story itself. So when I was looking for something good after a few disappointing reads, I remembered I had a copy of Apple And Rain waiting for me on my shelves. I started reading it expecting it to be similar to One, and that is probably part of the reason why I didn't enjoy it that much. Rather than a full story written in verse, Apple And Rain is a story about poetry with only a few poems incorporated in the text. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I wasn't particularly impressed by the story itself. I did like the poems, but the plot, prose and characters are not exactly inspiring. I understand the main character Apple is quite young and that explains part of the 'childish feel' of the book, but I can't say I liked her and most of the plot is a bit farfetched. Rain with her doll, Apple's mother, Apple herself... I just didn't feel it. I know other people seemed to enjoy Apple And Rain though, so don't let this review discourage you if you think you would enjoy it. The entire story is set in Britain, and I loved that aspect. We hardly ever see books that are 100% British, and that was amazing to see! Chips instead of fries, sauce instead of ketchup—delightful! Plenty of food references for the food lovers and I think, overall, the British aspect was one of my favourite parts about the book! And poetry! If there’s one thing—only one—that made me teary-eyed it was the poetry. Brilliant and just amazing <3 Apple and Rain is a wonderful feel-good kind of book, the kind that doesn’t offer you an unrealistic happy ending, but rather an ending which leaves the reader full of hope. A wonderful book indeed’ www.librarymice.comAparte de los largos versos de poemas y borradores de tareas en inglés, en realidad sentí que la escritura era bastante simple y joven. El tema también es bastante perturbador, sobre una madre terrible que abandona a su hija para una carrera como actriz, y luego regresa y se aprovecha de su necesidad de aprobación. Aprecié el enfoque en el comportamiento de un padre en un género lleno de padres ausentes, pero la madre de Apple fue una excusa lamentable para uno. Abandono, comportamiento irresponsable, esperar que su hija falte a la escuela y sea niñera / sirvienta y dejarla beber, todo está aquí. Holly, who is the main character in this book, is determined to find the jewellery that belongs to her, her older brother Jonathan and younger brother Davy. She goes on a mission to get that treasure, just to find that she has to get it off her uncle, who had already dug it up before them.

If you have Apple Watch Ultraor later, you can wear it during recreational scuba divingup to 130 feet (40 meters)and other activities like swimming, showering, and water skiing.* Yes this was a sad and emotionally draining book, but I wish there was a satisfactory conclusion to it or a lesson behind it all. It seemed like everything was sad, serious and dreary, and there wasn’t enough light at the end of the tunnel for me. I don’t always need a happy ending, but I need a story to be told for a reason. And the reason here, seemed to be to showcase Mr Gaydon’s wonderful English lessons. One of the key factors of the story is the family dynamic. Apple's family was messed up and even that is a bit of an understatement. I, for one, do not know how I would feel if one day I suddenly find out that I have a little sister I had not a single idea about. 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.

Some will be available next week, while others will not ship until later in November.

I read Apple and Rain in one sitting. It was incredibly addictive, and it drew me in from the first sentence. Sarah Crossan has lived in Dublin, London and New York, and now lives in Hertfordshire. She graduated with a degree in philosophy and literature before training as an English and drama teacher at... More from this author Other books that might interest you I loved the interactions between Apple and Rain. At first I was slightly perturbed by Rain's 'weirdness', but once more came to light, you could see she was just as lost as Apple, if not more so, and was trying to cope in her own individual way. Apple's attempts to care for Rain were beautiful, and I really forgot that she was only 13 herself - she seemed so much more mature, especially if you compare her with the mother, Annie. To talk about Annie, I honestly could not stand her, I understood that she'd made mistakes, was couldn't cope with a 3 year old when she was only 20, but ever since she'd returned she just played on Apple's insecurities and kindness for her own gain. She was so not fit to be a mother, and, honestly, needed to give her head a good shake. 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 was easy to connect to, and my admiration for her grew every time she crossed the line, to save the relationship between the mother who abandoned her, the sister she never knew of, and the Nana she believed despised her. It was clear all she wanted was for things to be okay, and I just wanted to give Apple a big hug because she had so many things to deal with. Sarah Crossan's poetic novella The Weight of Water was shortlisted for the Carnegie medal. Poetry remains integral to the writing here, personified in a tremendous teacher, Mr Gaydon. Apple's poems are showered throughout the prose making it a more accessible novel to those reluctant to reading verse. Apple is an endearing character and her internal struggle to feel any resentment towards the disappointing mother she'd been craving for so long is sincere and believable. The winners of The Farshore Reading for Pleasure Teacher Awards 2023, highlighting the work schools are doing to encourage a love of reading, have... Apple and Rain is a beautifully crafted story about painful reunions, loyalty and the true meaning of love; a story with a deep emotional core, both heart-wrenching and heart-warming’ Sita Brahmachari, author of Artichoke HeartsI think that it would be really hard looking after someone who thinks that a plastic doll is more important than anything around them, especially if your mum has disappeared and your half sister doesn’t even care. The general idea behind Apple And Rain is interesting even though it's not that original, and I really liked the poetry bits. Those parts would have gotten 4 stars, but unfortunately I wasn't blown away by the rest of it. The plot, prose and characters didn't manage to convince me and most of it just didn't feel credible. It is a really fast read though and has some interesting insights on poetry, so don't discard it if you think you might like it. Still, I would definitely recommend reading One first if you haven't already.
