These are all things that Madeline’s compromised immune system can’t handle. She has SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency), causing her to be isolated in her house. Madeline is a princess trapped in a castle — except her castle is a spotless, decontaminated house in Los Angeles with white walls, where she lives with her mother. But then one day a new neighbor moves in. He catches Madeline looking — he stares at her and she stares back. Madeline realizes quickly that she is going to fall in love with him and it’s almost certainly going to be a disaster. Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller! Soon to be a major motion picture starring Amandla Stenberg and Nick Robinson!

The Sun Is Also a Star Read Online by Nicola Yoon
The Sun is Also a Star Read Online by Nicola Yoon Book info: Author: Nicola Yoon Format: 384 pages Dimensions: 129 x 198mm Publication date: 03 Nov 2016 Publisher: Random House Children's Publishers UK Imprint: Corgi Childrens Release location: London, United Kingdom Plot: The New York Times and internationally bestselling love story from Nicola Yoon, author of Everything, Everything - now a film starring Amandla Stenberg and Nick Robinson, in cinemas this summer. Natasha: I'm a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I'm definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won't be my story. Daniel: I've always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents' high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see her, I forget about all that. Something about Natasha makes me think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store-for both of us. The Universe: Every moment in our lives has brought us to this single moment. A million futures lie before us. Which one will come true? Related info: About Nicola Yoon Nicola Yoon is the number one New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything. She grew up in Jamaica and Brooklyn and currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband and daughter. She's also a hopeless romantic who firmly believes that you can fall in love in an instant and that it can last forever.

A brilliant but so- mewhat arrogant and antisocial man, Nash preferred to spend his time with his thoughts, which were primarily of seeing mathematical formula associated with everyday occurrences, than with people. Two people he did make a connection with were Charles, his roommate at Prin- ceton, and Alicia Larde, one of his students when he was teaching at M.I.T. in the early 1950’s. He and Alicia eventually marry. As time goes on, Nash lives more and more within himself which causes major pro- blems in his life. But Alicia stands by her husband to his redemption to the Nobel Prize win. Nash learns that his graduate school colleagues, with whom he had a cordial but somewhat distant relationship, are clo- ser friends than he imagined, although in his later life he really does miss Charles’ company more than anything despite knowing that spending time with Charles is not in his or anyone’s best interest.

The Sun Is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon Questions and Topics for Discussion 1
The Sun Is Also a Star By Nicola Yoon Questions and Topics for Discussion 1. Do you believe in love at first sight? 2. “There’s a Japanese phrase that I like: koi no yokan. It doesn’t mean love at first sight. It’s closer to love at second sight. It’s the feeling when you meet someone that you’re going to fall in love with them. Maybe you don’t love them right away, but it’s inevitable that you will.” After reading this phrase, what do you think about the idea of love at second sight? 3. In the book, Daniel is faced with the choice of chasing a career that promises job security and financial stability, or chasing his passion in a field (poetry) that does not hold those same promises. Which “chase” do you think is more important? 4. What pressures do young people face when choosing colleges, majors, career paths, etc.? Where do those pressures come from? 5. Do you consider yourself left-brained (logical, math, science) or right-brained (creative, art, writing)? 6. Do you believe one day can change someone’s life? 7. Are the people we encounter in everyday life – a cashier, a cab driver, a security guard – random acts that happen in the universe or is it fate/destiny? 8. Have you ever discussed someone’s culture with them? What kind of things did you learn? 9. After he tells Natasha to wait outside his father’s store, Daniel talks about how every person should be born with “a Do-Over, a Rain Check, a Take-Backsie, a Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free Card.” Do you wish the same thing, or do you think every moment, even the bad ones, happen for a reason? 10.

A Discussion Guide to Turtles All the Way Down
BOOK CLUB GUIDE INCLUDES DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR: Turtles All the Way Down The Fault in Our Stars Paper Towns An Abundance of Katherines Looking for Alaska PRAISE FOR “This novel is by far his most difficult to read. It’s also his most astonishing. The friendships in Green’s novels are stirring and powerful. They’re one of the reasons we show up to read them . surprising and moving and true.” —THE NEW YORK TIMES “The dialogue is snappy and sophisticated, and the characters invested with a sensibility, articulateness and aspirational range of reference that are so appealing to intelligent young readers.” —THE WALL STREET JOURNAL “Green expertly communicates the confusion and pain of Aza’s invasive thoughts, the way they spin out of control and their inescapable hold on her. But there’s also a neat depth to the way Turtles explores the definition of happy endings, whether love is a tragedy or a failure, and a universal lesson for us all: You work with what you have.” —USA TODAY “It will pluck the strings of those in tune with it. It will resonate with, and comfort, anxious young minds everywhere. It might just be a new modern classic.” —THE GUARDIAN “Funny, clever, and populated with endearing characters.” —ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY H “In an age where troubling events happen almost weekly, this deeply empathetic novel about learning to live with demons and love one’s imperfect self is timely and important.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, STARRED REVIEW H “A deeply resonant and powerful novel that will inform and enlighten readers even as it breaks hearts.”

The Sun Is Also a Star
THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR The actor Yara Shahidi is in her own world, staring at the glittering constellations above her head, while hundreds of people—a microcosm of the world and all its diversity—swirl around her. It’s a pivotal event in the life of her character, Natasha Kingsley, at the center of the modern-day romantic drama, “The Sun Is Also a Star,” but at the moment, she is unaware of the change that this upward gaze will bring about in her life. Far above her, in a glass window somewhere below the stars, Daniel Bae, played by Charles Melton, has noticed her yearning face and immediately sets out to make contact. From this serendipity, “The Sun Is Also a Star,” based on the award-winning and best-selling novel by Nicola Yoon (Everything, Everything), follows the pragmatist Natasha and the romantic Daniel as they share life over one extraordinary and eventful 24- hour period in New York. Filming in the world-renowned Grand Central Station has presented myriad challenges to the production—three-quarters of a million visitors come through its doors daily—but the symbolic location was simply too important and yes, too romantic, to fake. “This has been amazing,” says Yara Shahidi, “because this is actually my first time here. I did a bunch of reading online about the history and all kinds of secrets. This is the first time Daniel sees Natasha, and Charles is all the way up there near the ceiling, and I’m down here just stopped, staring at the stars.
