Product Information

a few of the characters had some really great growth in this book, i think. sophie's becoming more confident in herself and stepping into her role as leader, and fitz (i believe?) is working on his anger issues. keefe is still very broken and hurting (who wouldn't be?) but i think i'm seeing some healing happening. In 2008, the Tears of Joy Theatre performed a puppet show adaptation of Stellaluna for the first time. The theatre company took the show on tour, performing Stellaluna in nearly 500 theatres from 2009–2012. Author Janell Cannon enjoyed the puppet show so much, she brought it to her hometown to celebrate the anniversary of Stellaluna 's publishing. [38] Several other puppetry adaptations of Stellaluna have been made, including by playwright Saskia Janse. [39] Selected translations [ edit ]

I’d love to see you try.” Elwin dug through his satchel and pulled out a deep purple elixir. “But I’d rather you just take another dose of tissue regenerator and get some rest.” Sophie wished she could sink down next to him—lean on each other as they tried to prepare for whatever came next. But she forced herself to stay standing. “I’m done making decisions based on fear. It gives the Neverseen more power.” As you wish.” Flori closed her eyes, swaying like a tree in a storm. “I hope our moonlark doesn’t worry too much. I hear songs of change in the air. But they’re not unhappy melodies. They sing of freedom. And new opportunities.”In the 1996 publication Children's Literature, the authors state that Cannon "put so much character in Stellaluna's face and body that the bat comes alive for the reader". [7] this girl SLAYED. she grew and matured so much as a character and i loved it for her. while she did snap a lot, i personally feel like it was all justified. she was finally stepping up and i loved it for her!! i personally relate to her a lot with some of the things going on in my life, so she was amazing to read about. please do not diss her she's honestly become a new comfort character of mine. she's become such an amazing mc!! i'm so excited to see how she is in book 10! If this is the last book, it needs to go out with a BANG! And I hope it is the last book, personally, because if Sophie doesn't resolve everything soon, I genuinely can't see how she ever will. The conflict will grow too large for her to handle. IMO, it already has gotten out of hand and I can't see how she can realistically save the day at this point. But she's The Mysterious Lady Foss-Boss. She'll find a way to handle it. This entire book follows Sophie finding out what 'Elysian' and 'stellarlune' is, the book is advertised as a revealer of 'game-changing secrets' but in the end all we get are half-baked truths and even more questions.

What? This is how I smile now!” Keefe tightened his jaw and raised one eyebrow. “See? It’s my brooding, mysterious look.” Grady grabbed her hand as she turned for the door, and as his fingers pressed against her skin, she realized she wasn’t wearing her gloves. This series may be a little cliche. And a little predictable. And a little unrealistic. But I still love it with all my heart and I'm so excited for book nine! Along with the lovely news that his recovery was still taking forever, Elwin had also let Keefe know that Sophie had apparently already gone to Nightfall, and that her family hadn’t been there. He couldn’t stop thinking about the burst of emotions Sophie had hit him with as she left the healing center. There hadn’t just been anger. There’d been hurt. And a deep, overwhelming disappointment that had made it hard to breathe.She’d had enough experience with her overprotective goblin bodyguard to know that Sandor would be coming with her. She’d honestly been surprised he was willing to let her out of his sight after he brought her home from Solreef. And she was grateful to have his protection. She needed it now more than ever. I still want you to take tonight to rest, though,” Elwin warned. “You’re not off bed rest until the morning.” Champion of the Unloved: Janell Cannon" (PDF). Seattle Children's Theatre. pp.8–9 .

Author Janell Cannon grew up in rural Minnesota; her parents shared their enjoyment of nature with her and her siblings. She stated that she was a "free-range kid, able to gain an appreciation for animals like frogs, salamanders, snakes, and bats". [2] She empathized with bats, as they are maligned by many cultures. She said, for bats to be "misunderstood and mistreated by humans, out of fear, really affected me". [2] Later, when working at a library in California, Cannon noted that only three books in the children's section featured bats, of which two were eventually removed. [2]

Speaking of Sophie, it annoyed me how quite a few of the group ganged up on her about a certain action/decision she made when it was a good move—though it should have been thought through a bit more, I’ll admit. But I can’t blame her because the villains need to be taken down already. Reading Rainbow – Season 12, Episode 8: Stellaluna". tv.com. CBS Interactive Inc . Retrieved 19 January 2019.
