Dodger, Terry Pratchett. (Fiction) 1210L a Storm High School English Summer Reading List New in 2013: Dodger, Terry Pratchett. (Fiction) 1210L A storm. Rain-lashed city streets. A flash of lightning. A scruffy lad sees a girl leap desperately from a horse-drawn carriage in a vain attempt to escape her captors. Can the lad stand by and let her be caught again? Of course not, because he's . Dodger. Seventeen-year-old Dodger may be a street urchin, but he gleans a living from London's sewers, and he knows a jewel when he sees one. He's not about to let anything happen to the unknown girl—not even if her fate impacts some of the most powerful people in England. From Dodger's encounter with the mad barber Sweeney Todd to his meetings with the great writer Charles Dickens and the calculating politician Benjamin Disraeli, history and fantasy intertwine in a breathtaking account of adventure and mystery. Beloved and bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett combines high comedy with deep wisdom in this tale of an unexpected coming-of-age and one remarkable boy's rise in a complex and fascinating world. New in 2013: Caught by the Sea, Gary Paulsen. (Non-fiction) 1210L Gary Paulsen takes readers along on his maiden voyage, proving that ignorance can be bliss - also really stupid and incredibly dangerous. He tells of boats that have owned him—good, bad, and beloved—and how they got him through terrifying storms that he survived by sheer luck. His spare prose conjures up shark surprises and killer waves as well as moonlights on the sea, and makes readers feel what it‘s like to sail under the stars or to lie at anchor in a tropical lagoon where dolphins leap, bathed in silver. Falling in love with the ocean set Gary Paulsen on a lifelong learning curve and readers will understand why his passion has lasted to this day. New in 2013: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams. (Fiction) 1000L Seconds before Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last fifteen years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor. Together, this dynamic pair began a journey through space aided by a galaxy full of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed, ex- hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian (formerly Tricia McMillan), Zaphod‘s girlfriend, whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; and Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he‘s bought over the years. Where are these pens? Why are we born? Why do we die? For all the answers, stick your thumb to the stars! New in 2013: Bomb: The Race to Build– and Steal– the World’s Most Dangerous Weapon, Steve Sheinkin. (Nonfiction) 920 L In December of 1938, a chemist in a German laboratory made a shocking discovery: When placed next to radioactive material, a Uranium atom split in two. That simple discovery launched a scientific race that spanned 3 continents. In Great Britain and the United States, Soviet spies worked their way into the scientific community; in Norway, a commando force slipped behind enemy lines to attack German heavy-water manufacturing; and deep in the desert, one brilliant group of scientists was hidden away at a remote site at Los Alamos. This is the story of the plotting, the risk-taking, the deceit, and genius that created the world's most formidable weapon. This is the story of the atomic bomb. New in 2013: The Swerve: How the World Became Modern, Stephen Greenblatt. (Non-fiction) 1220L One of the world's most celebrated scholars, Stephen Greenblatt has crafted both an innovative work of history and a thrilling story of discovery, in which one manuscript, plucked from a thousand years of neglect, changed the course of human thought and made possible the world as we know it. Nearly six hundred years ago, a genial, cannily alert man in his late thirties took a very old manuscript off a library shelf, saw with excitement what he had discovered, and ordered that it be copied. That book was the last surviving manuscript of an ancient Roman philosophical epic, On the Nature of Things, by Lucretius—a beautiful poem of the most dangerous ideas: that the universe functioned without the aid of gods, that religious fear was damaging to human life, and that matter was made up of very small particles in eternal motion, colliding and swerving in new directions. The copying and translation of this ancient book-the greatest discovery of the greatest book-hunter of his age- fueled the Renaissance, inspiring artists such as Botticelli and thinkers such as Giordano Bruno; shaped the thought of Galileo and Freud, Darwin and Einstein; and had a revolutionary influence on writers such as Montaigne and Shakespeare and even Thomas Jefferson. New in 2013: Will in the World: How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare, Stephen Greenblatt. (Nonfiction) 1210L Stephen Greenblatt, the charismatic Harvard professor who "knows more about Shakespeare than Ben Jonson or the Dark Lady did" (John Leonard, Harper's), has written a biography that enables us to see, hear, and feel how an acutely sensitive and talented boy, surrounded by the rich tapestry of Elizabethan life; full of drama and pageantry, and also cruelty and danger; could have become the world's greatest playwright. A young man from the provinces—a man without wealth, connections, or university education—moves to London. In a remarkably short time he becomes the greatest playwright not just of his age but of all time. His works appeal to urban sophisticates and first-time theatergoers; he turns politics into poetry; he recklessly mingles vulgar clowning and philosophical subtlety. How is such an achievement to be explained? Will in the World interweaves a searching account of Elizabethan England with a vivid narrative of the playwright's life. The basic biographical facts of Shakespeare's life have been known for over a century, but now Stephen Greenblatt shows how this particular life history gave rise to the world's greatest writer. Bringing together little-known historical facts and little-noticed elements of Shakespeare's plays, Greenblatt makes inspired connections between the life and the works and deliver "a dazzling and subtle biography" (Richard Lacayo, Time). Readers will experience Shakespeare's vital plays again as if for the first time, but with greater understanding and appreciation of their extraordinary depth and humanity. Between Shades of Gray, Ruta Sepetys. (Historical Fiction) 490L In 1941, fifteen-year-old Lina is preparing for art school, first dates, and all that summer has to offer. But one night, the Soviet secret police barge violently into her home, deporting her along with her mother and younger brother. They are being sent to Siberia. Lina's father has been separated from the family and sentenced to death in a prison camp. All is lost. Lina fights for her life, fearless, vowing that if she survives she will honor her family, and the thousands like hers, by documenting their experience in her art and writing. She risks everything to use her art as messages, hoping they will make their way to her father's prison camp to let him know they are still alive. It is a long and harrowing journey, and it is only their incredible strength, love, and hope that pull Lina and her family through each day. But will love be enough to keep them alive?

  • By TERRY PRATCHETT
    Discussion Guide By TERRY PRATCHETT ABOUT THE BOOK A young street urchin comes to the aid of a seemingly helpless young woman, beginning his meteoric ascent through London society as he rubs shoulders with the likes of Charles Dickens, Benjamin Disraeli, and Sweeney Todd. With his characteristic wit and boundless imagination, Terry Pratchett delivers a tale of London in the Victorian Age, and of a young man who must navigate its seamy underbelly—not just the ancient Roman sewers but the dangerous world of greed, crime, and politics. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Discuss a woman’s place in society during telling people that they are downtrodden, the Victorian Age. Cite evidence from the text, you tend to make two separate enemies. especially as it relates to Simplicity, Angela, Money makes people rich; it is a fallacy to think and the queen. How representative do you it makes them better, or even that it makes them think they are of typical Victorian women? worse. Responsibilities are the anvil on which a man is forged.” Can you spot others? 2. In this novel, one of the world’s greatest storytellers (Terry Pratchett) pays homage to 6. “ The iron forged on the anvil cannot be blamed another (Charles Dickens). Discuss several for the hammer,” says Solomon (page 182). ways that Pratchett does this. Do you agree? “Mister Todd killed, but he wasn’t a killer. Maybe if he’d never had to go 3.

    “First Among Shepherds”: Terry Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching Series from an Arthurian Perspective By Freya Sacksen A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for a degree in a Master of Arts. (2018) Table of Contents Abstract 2 Acknowledgements 3 Introduction 5 Chapter 1: Open Your Eyes, Then Open Your Eyes Again 22 Finding the Fisher King 22 Time to Thaw: The Witch as Quester 26 The Whole of the Thing: Mystical Kings of the Disc 32 Open Your Eyes: Tiffany As Reversed Fisher King 41 Chapter 2: The Goode Childe’s Booke of Faerie Tales 52 The Ill-Made Knight 52 The Arthurian Other and Pratchett 62 First Sight and Second Thoughts 71 Chapter 3: Cracked Mirrors and Melting Girls 83 Tennyson’s Inspiration 83 The Artist in the Tower 87 Light and Shadow: A Close Reading of the Lady of Shalott 91 The Melting Girl: Subversion in the Disc 101 Conclusion 114 Works Cited 116 1 Abstract Throughout his career writing on the Discworld, Terry Pratchett employed what he referred to as ‘white knowledge’; a wide spectrum of intertextuality and allusiveness that pervaded the structure of his stories, the dialogue, the narration, and that was even discussed in scenes constructed to comment on the very absurdity of its existence. In my MA thesis, I examine closely the allusive qualities of the white knowledge present in Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching series: The Wee Free Men (2003), A Hat Full of Sky (2004), Wintersmith (2006), I Shall Wear Midnight (2010) and The Shepherd’s Crown (2015).

  • Dodger by Terry Pratchett
    London uncovered by London, one of the great capital cities of the world, has provided inspiration for countless writers over the years. This diverse selection of novels have one element in common: they are all set in this fascinating city. Spanning centuries and genres, these stories explore many aspects of London – from the historically accurate to the futuristic and fantastic. If you cannot visit the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, the Natural History Museum or Brick Lane in person, why not travel by book? Dodger by Terry Pratchett Dodger, hero and rogue, is a tosher -- in other words, he makes his ‘living’ by skimming through the sewers, panning for gold through mud and muck. His aim is invisibility; and if that doesn't work, he has learned how to twist and turn his way out of trouble. But when he comes to the rescue of a mysterious young beauty, Dodger emerges from the underworld - becoming all too visible, to enemies and friends alike. This historical fantasy takes place in a Victorian London so Dickensian that Charles Dickens has more than a walk-on role in the story. Indeed, one of the pleasures of the novel is playing the ‘spot the eminent Victorian’ game. All readers should attempt a Terry Pratchett novel at some point. This entertaining adventure is a good place to start. Reading and interest level: 14+ Genre: historical; fantasy; Victorian England; adventure; humour Created by Beth Bonini for TRAC I, Coriander by Sally Gardner This otherworldly book manages to combine fairy-tale fantasy with the dark realities of London under Oliver Cromwell's Puritan reign.

  • This Essay Explores the Possibilities Offered by the Interpretation of Terry
    “YOU TURN WORLDS UPSIDE DOWN”: THE POLITICS OF REVERSAL IN TERRY PRATCHETT’S NATION MARIA BŁASZKIEWICZ Terry Pratchett’s novel Nation (2008) offers potential interpretative reversals of the motifs of island and shipwreck. The novel’s plot is dominated by two islands and three shipwrecks, the importance of which depends on the perspective imposed by the cartographic representation, which becomes only apparent with the reversal of cardinal directions on a map placed on the book’s last page. One island, Great Britain, belonging to the political centre of the world, is juxtaposed with the tiny island of Nation which, as a result of a momentous reversal of fortune of both the heroes and the nations they represent, becomes the world’s centre of science, incidentally occasioning a partial destruction of the traditional dichotomy of science and religion. This essay explores the possibilities offered by the interpretation of Terry Pratchett’s alternative history novel Nation1 in terms of its pattern of structural, symbolic and ideological reversals centred on the motifs of island and shipwreck understood both literally and allegorically. Nation differs from the majority of Pratchett’s novels in several ways. Firstly, unlike practically everything else published in the last fifteen years, it does not in any way refer to his sprawling Discworld series. Secondly, it is significantly less comic (but not less ironic) and more directly involved in various ideological concerns of the real world than anything he has ever written. Thirdly, unlike most, especially later works, Nation is very consciously and artistically structured. It is also the only2 novel by Pratchett set in an alternative 3 version of our own world.

  • Terry Pratchett's Narrative Worlds
    Fafnir – Nordic Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy Research journal.finfar.org BOOK REVIEW: Terry Pratchett’s Narrative Worlds: From Giant Turtles to Small Gods Andrew M. Butler Rana, Marion, editor. Terry Pratchett’s Narrative Worlds: From Giant Turtles to Small Gods. Palgrave Macmillan, 2018. ISBN 978-3319672977. This baker’s dozen of essays on Terry Pratchett, edited by Marion Rana of the University of Bremen, is an entry in the Palgrave Macmillan series Critical Approaches to Children’s Literature. This offers us a puzzle, as only a small proportion of Pratchett’s oeuvre was aimed at younger readers – his (later heavily revised) debut, The Carpet People (1971/1992), the Truckers trilogy (1989–1990), the Johnny Maxwell trilogy (1992–1996), Maurice and his Amazing Educated Rodents (2001), Where’s My Cow? (2005), Nation (2008), Dodger (2012), and the Tiffany Aching Discworld novels (2003–2015); in addition, posthumous short-story collections were issued between 2014 and 2020. The various target age groups of these books – from a picture book mentioned in and released at the same time as Thud! (2005) to young-adult titles – bring with them differing meanings of identity, coming of age, sexuality, freedom, and gender, but Terry Pratchett’s Narrative Worlds mentions very few of these titles in passing, if at all. Even the chapters that do pay attention to the child protagonists do not stick to the children’s books. Maxi Steinbrück discusses education with varying degrees of formality: Mort’s on-the-job training; Tiffany’s mix of instinct, apprenticeship, and becoming a learner; Susan’s boarding school; and the Unseen University.
