Apple and Rain

Product Information

Cece makes friends but they are never perfect, she has ones who talk really slowly to her, ones who boss her around and they all make her feel she’s different. Towards the end of the story Cece spots a boy she would like to make friends with. When the boy finds out what Cece can do with her hearing aids he is her best friend. 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.

Bueno, está Del, pero lo único memorable de él es cómo espía a sus vecinos con sus binoculares y cómo ayuda a Apple, especialmente con Rain. Fue lindo, pero no fue suficiente para restar valor al resto de las cosas horribles de la historia. Nana de Apple es probablemente el personaje más agradable del libro que realmente se preocupa por ella lo suficiente, y odié verla dejar de lado. On her journey, Apple meets someone who could only be described as a ray of sunshine. A boy named Del, practically bursting with optimism. Their friendship and the bond that formed between the two was just as fantastic as everything else. Sarah Crossan has lived in Dublin, London and New York, and now lives in Hertfordshire. She graduated with a degree in Philosophy and Literature before training as an English and drama teacher at the University of Cambridge. The Weight of Water and Apple and Rain were both shortlisted for the CILIP Carnegie Medal. In 2016, Sarah won the CILIP Carnegie Medal as well as the YA Book Prize, the CBI Book of the Year award and the CLiPPA Poetry Award for her novel, One. Holly, who is the main character in this book, is determined to find the jewellery that belongs to her, her older brother Jonathan and younger brother Davy. She goes on a mission to get that treasure, just to find that she has to get it off her uncle, who had already dug it up before them. This story is a very bleak one. It does have it’s happy moments, especially those with Del, Apple’s next door neighbour. But, don’t let the bleakness make you run away. What I mean by this book being bleak, is how truthfully Crossan tells Apple’s story. It does no sugar-coating and is very up front–it just made me just want to cry for Apple and her sister, Rain. Apple’s mother isn’t as wonderful and invincible as Apple had forethought, her mother has parties weekly and gets drunk, smokes and runs after dreams that are clearly never going to become reality. Most days, Apple has to fend for herself. And she starts to wonder whether her mother truly loves her, or if it’s all just an illusion.We are sorry!

Apple and Rain Sarah Crossan 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. Yes this was a sad and emotionally draining book, but I wish there was a satisfactory conclusion to it or a lesson behind it all. It seemed like everything was sad, serious and dreary, and there wasn’t enough light at the end of the tunnel for me. I don’t always need a happy ending, but I need a story to be told for a reason. And the reason here, seemed to be to showcase Mr Gaydon’s wonderful English lessons. The story itself is simple, yet haunting. Eleven years ago, Apple's mother left her. Ever since then, Apple has dreamed about her mother returning her and rescuing her from the strict care of her grandmother. And one day she does - although her mother turns out to be nothing like Apple expected...

La otra parte triste e inquietante de Apple & Rain fue sobre los problemas psicológicos de Rain y cómo trata a una muñeca como una persona real. Lleva a Jenny y la alimenta, le habla como a una niña de verdad y prácticamente se podían ver los efectos del abandono en Rain a los 10 años. Aparte de eso, también está el acoso y cómo Apple lo maneja en la escuela. ¿Hay algo de qué alegrarse en este libro? I really enjoyed this book, because it was mysterious and exciting. You never knew what was coming at you and sometimes it was like words were hurtling towards your face. I only wish that you found out a bit more about what happened to Holly at the end of the book. But that was my only doubt. It’s an amazing novel and it really catches your eye, I think it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read and hope lots of people agree with me. Nat Allison’s review of An Island of our Own by Sally Nicholls With realistic characters, a beautiful yet simple writing and bits of poetry, Apple and Rain is a book that was both emotional and undeniably remarkable. One you must read to experience. Author Luke Palmer introduces his new book, Play (Firefly Press) about four boys growing up together, the challenges, the friendships, and what hap...Sure, there are a lot of pictures in the book but it helps you understand her feelings and emotion. When she is in love then there will be love hearts around her head also if she is lonely then she will have an empty bubble floating above her head. I love the part were sometimes someone would run then you could see all of the effects of how fast they were going. I’m not sure why this book was on my to-read list. On getting it out of the library, I had no memory of the premise. I think perhaps I just liked the cover (I know, I’m terrible, but it’s so pretty). Cece Bell was deaf and this story follows after her and her childhood stories. Think about those people who are deaf for a minute and how hard life must be.

Sarah Crossan Press Reviews

Apple is thirteen, but her narrative voice definitely did not sound thirteen. That didn't bother me as much as it should have, mainly because she learnt a lot of things along the way. She developed a lot as a character, and it was really an amazing thing to witness. El Deafo is about a girl called Cece who went deaf when she was four years old. When Cece went to school she had to wear this special mechanism that would help her hear better. Sarah Crossan: One is a different book to all my others because it was the subject matter above everything else that motivated me to write about Tippi and Grace. Photograph: PR I liked how Apple and Rain was divided into parts according to what Apple was studying in her English class. I think they all had significant meaning to the story, and also gave me a bit of a hint as to what would happen in that part of the story, as well.
