Apple and Rain

Product Information

Another indicator of Apple’s maturity is how much she doesn’t hate her dad, even though she probably should. He’s rubbish and clearly doesn’t want anything to do with her, even though he is her father but Apple doesn’t really seem to blame him – she even says that he was just unfortunate enough to be dating her mother when she got pregnant. This annoyed me quite a bit actually, because her father is as responsible as her mother for her existence and he should step up and be her father. When you have a child, you have to make sacrifices, even if you never wanted that child. If you brought them into the world, they’re your responsibility. Poetry can teach us about ourselves. It can comfort us when we are in despair. It can bring joy. But not only that...it can open us up. It can make our worlds bigger and brighter and clearer. It can *transform* us.” One time, the coolest girl in the school asked Apple to hang out and have some fish and chips but Grandma said no. Apple was angry and upset.

Apple and Rain was such an unexpected read. Before diving into the book, I was a bit apprehensive, as I wasn't sure what I would think. I am so glad I've had the opportunity to read this outstanding novel! Apollinia Apostolopoulou feels lost in her life. She's living with her very religious, quiet protective and strict, Irish nana, who won't let her have some freedom, and coming to terms with her father's distance, a new stepmother and all the problems that brings with it. Finally, she has her wish of her mother returning home after eleven years, and she thinks everything will be perfect. She couldn't be more wrong. Though Annie seems to be trying really hard, she doesn't do it in a very mother-like way. And, to top it all off, Apple now has to compete with 10 year old Rain, who has her own issues to contend with.One day she got another device called the Phonic Ear. The teacher that she had would wear a microphone and talk into it for Cece to hear even better than before. Everyone thought she had super powers because she could hear the teacher, wherever the teacher was. Unlike other laptop makers that might combine a central processor unit (CPU) from Intel with a GPU from Nvidia, Apple has combined both parts in its Apple silicon chips, which the company claims gives it better performance than its rivals.

Sarah Crossan writes with insight and honesty in this moving story of family, friendship, and love’ Claire Furniss, author of The Year of the RatShe’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.

All is not well in the town. It looks untouched; life goes on, with no sign of the dangerous Danann. But a storm is brewing, and the friends are being drawn into a trap, down a Spiral Path. 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 I haven’t give a book 5 stars in a long time, and I rarely do. So to give this a full 5 stars, this is saying a lot. This book was written, brimming with palpable emotions and wonderful and relatable characters. Everyone needs to give this book a go. I mean it. Everyone. Author Luke Palmer introduces his new book, Play (Firefly Press) about four boys growing up together, the challenges, the friendships, and what hap...

About the contributors

Though poetry has never be a favourite of mine, I really enjoyed Apple's poems throughout the novel, and how her teacher seemed to really care about her, and saw her potential. Apple was actually such an outstanding protagonist, and her relationships with every single character were truly wonderful.

Apple and Rain: : Sarah Crossan: Bloomsbury YA

What lies within are elements with much depth, and emotion. The characters, especially Apple, and the events unfolding were often a little too realistic, and I found myself relating to Apple much more than I expected to. At one point, I decided that if anyone has ever been thirteen, they will find it incredibly easy to connect with Apple. (But if you couldn't and you HAVE been thirteen, please don't ruin the hogwash also known as my conclusions). The characters were nothing more than Okay. I didn't care when Rain was introduced, whereas if it had been written differently I probably would have. Nana, Donna and Mr Gaydon too, were moderately very stereotypical.I think we're all familiar with the concept that beauty is simplicity, and I certainly think that this book right here, fits the description perfectly. Apple and Rain does not have a complex premise full of twists, turns and unpredictable sequences. The writing was poetic, but not overly so. It was simple, but pleasant, seamless and fully capable of guiding the reader towards the core of the story. I'm not usually one to go in for decimalised rating, but I don't think it was as bad as two stars or as good as 3.
