The Yearbook

Product Information

cutting the 350 minutes of run time to 150 minutes of run time was a vast improvement for the very slow pacing, although I still watched it at a faster speed Having a difficult home life with uninvolved parents and asked by Ms Gordon to help create the yearbook where the Awfuls dictated every year starting from Year Seven's Do you remember when up until The Leaver's Ball, Paige learned to find her voice of truth amidst all the lies and falseness. With the help of 'Red Pen', she felt like her existence mattered. One day she does the unthinkable and makes a scribble in the margin of a library book; just a small reminder that she existed in this place, in this time. But there, in bright red ink, someone has done the same and they begin a journey through the library with their secret notes. When her new confidant comes into the real world, she realises that books are always the perfect place to tell her story - the yearbook maybe?

Some schools distribute yearbooks after the end of the school year—such as in July, at homecoming (US) in October, or at another designated time to include year-end activities. In some cases, yearbooks are mailed to the parents' homes of graduated seniors. The winners of The Farshore Reading for Pleasure Teacher Awards 2023, highlighting the work schools are doing to encourage a love of reading, have... To cope with her awful home life and trying to survive those dreaded school years Paige begins writing and answering messages in the margins of library books,where she meets a kindred spirit.This book is so important. It touches on some really important topics, that can effect people of all ages; the affect of toxic people on our feelings about our self and out self worth. The importance of unconditional love. Feeling utterly alone in a world where everyone seems to be so fake they might as well be made out of wax. Every novel by Holly Bourne breaks me, yet each breaks me in its own unique way. And I never see the devastation coming. I expected The Yearbook to be more about, well, the creation of a school yearbook than anything else. But really this is a book about abuse. Whether it’s under the guise of high school bullying or parental or marital relationships, abuse is a pernicious monster, difficult to name and more difficult still to stop. Paige, our main character, struggles with this on many levels. And, damn you Holly Bourne, so have I, but I didn’t need to be crying in a bathtub over it…. The Yearbook probably isn’t my favourite of Bourne’s novels to date, but it is the one I have most personally identified with. This review won't do the book the justice it deserves, but I'll try anyway. Holly Bourne is one of the Queens of contemporary YA (I'd argue THE queen...) and her reigns continues with this, her tenth book with Usborne. This may just be my favourite yet.

The Yearbook shows us that whatever happens to us can make us stronger if we allow it to. There are happy and sad moments throughout the story, but that is what makes this story relatable. Those who are currently in high school will find this book to be a lifesaver; those who have graduated high school and entered the daily routines of adulthood while bearing scars of high school will find this book to be a treasure. I love this author. I read her earlier books 'What's a girl gotta do', 'Pretending' and 'All the places i've cried in public' and loved them all. The protagonists in those books were so well fleshed out and empathetic. So, imagine my surprise when reading this book , it felt like an assignment, it almost seemed like I am watching a very boring teen movie with no comedy. The story is about Paige who is a year 11 girl who is on the school newspaper. She is very shy, she has no friends and her older brother has just gone off to university. Paige is a really good watcher and she sees everything that happens. She sees how the kids are cruel to the weaker children and what they do. She hates it. She doesn’t want them to get away with it, so she keeps a record of everything she sees in notebooks which she keeps under her bed. But she never says a word because she is scared they will then turn on her.... Read Full Review But their chosen school “memories” are nothing but fabricated puff pieces and malicious rumours- and Paige has had enough. A brutal and brilliant takedown of how we talk about mental illness, feminism, and friendship – The GuardianWhilst the cover is very bright and colourful, this book isn’t always super cheery, in the best way possible. Of course there are sweet moments of fun sprinkled throughout, but some of the main themes are quite a bit darker. The Yearbook is about drama at school, but it’s also about why you may act the way you do at school; how your life is affected by what your home is like; why you are the way you are.

Holly Bournen Vuosikirja (Gummerus, 2021, suom. Kristiina Vaara, *kirja saatu arvostelukappleena töiden kautta) kertoo Paigesta, joka yrittää pysyä poissa kaikkien tieltä. Koulussa hän yrittää vältellä suosittujen oppilaiden huomiota, ettei joutuisi näiden julmien pilojen ja kiusaamisen kohteeksi. Kotona hän yrittää pysyä näkymättömänä, ettei äkkipikainen ja arvaamaton isä saisi aihetta kohdistaa kiukkuaan häneen tai äitiin. I really felt like I was right alongside Paige and felt everything she felt. I got so angry at times, I wanted to smash things and I just found it so important in every way.Yearbooks are generally compiled by a student club or a yearbook class, usually advised by a faculty member. The yearbook staff usually has one or more editors who are responsible for collecting and compiling all of the information to be contained within the book, as well as deciding the layout and allocation of space for each contributor. Mean Girls meets To All The Boys I've Loved Before in this hugely relatable high-school takedown from the queen of UKYA. About This Edition ISBN: Would I say that it reminded me of those titles I mentioned above? Not really. I mean they're both good coming of age stories as was this book, however I didn't really se similarities exceot for the fact that this book indeed had mean girls in it, but that was about it.

The book is too long; it spends so much time building up the story but there just isn't enough pay off. Condense this book down and give it a better plot summary and it would have been much better but unfortunately it just didn't line up with what it was described to be. Sadly I just didn't love this book as much as I hoped I would - which is such a shame because those sprayed edges are delightful... I fell into this book, like in every Holly Bourne book. I both related to Paige and didn't. But I definitely felt for everything she was going through. I cried quite a lot and just enjoyed this from beginning to end. Not all of it was easy to read but I still couldn't stop. Paige goes through a lot in The Yearbook. At school and at home, she anticipates constant verbal abuse, witnesses cruelty and feels powerless to do anything about it. You understand her need to stay under the radar and just make it to the end of term but at the same time you sense something building inside of her; a need for accountability and change. I really enjoyed the thrill of the storyline where Paige finds someone on her wavelength in the margins of library books. Did I need the romance arc? No. I still enjoyed it but personally, I would have preferred a friendship. I really like Elijah and his supportive nature but a lot of YA seems to present romance arcs as ‘everything will be fine if you have a boyfriend’. That’s not the case here, Paige is her own person and stands on her own two feet but it would have been refreshing to see a strong platonic friendship instead. I would have loved a few more female friendships as I loved her growing confidence in the tentative exchange with Daisy and her protectiveness towards Cara but I really liked that there was closure to a friendship that had caused Paige pain when they drifted apart. You don’t see that very often. And about our main character, I got the feeling that she wanted the readers to feel sorry for her and pity her, because she's an introvert and is ''too afraid because of rumours or gossip'' to make new friends. Yes, her home life was horrible and I'm very happy with how the book ended and her aunt was an angel. I also wanted her and her brother to have a much stronger bond. But maybe it's just my opinion. I always look forward strong friendships within siblings when it comes to books.A fabulous read for any teenager or adult who needs a reminder what their teenager may be going through. The dramas, the traumas, the rumours - it's time to expose it all... The Perks of Being a Wallflower meets Mean Girls in this scathingly funny and relatable high-school takedown from the queen of UKYA. A marble slab commemorating a class of military cadets in Ancient Athens during the time of the Roman Empire is an early example of this sort of document.

[4] Yearbooks by country [ edit ] Australia [ edit ] ai että, holly bourne ei pettänyt tälläkään kertaa! vuosikirja oli yhtä upea lukukokemus kuin hänen aikaisemmatkin teoksensa, nousi ehkä jopa suosikiksi normaali-trilogian rinnalle. The Yearbook really rekindled my love for Holly Bourne’s writing! At first, I was a bit worried by the tone that it was going to be very dark throughout but, considering the heavy material (TW: bullying and domestic abuse) which is handled sensitively, I was surprised to find a lightness and humour to balance. The concept and layout of the book was really well done and I loved Paige’s personality and how she grew as a character.
