Representaion In Pursuance Of Books Maggot Moon

One hundred very short chapters, told in an utterly original first-person voice, propel readers through a narrative that is by turns gripping and darkly humorous, bleak and chilling, tender and transporting.

What if the football hadn't gone over the wall. On the other side of the wall there is a dark secret. And the devil. And the Moon Man. And the Motherland doesn't want anyone to know. But Standish Treadwell - who has different-colored eyes, who can't read, can't write, Standish Treadwell isn't bright - sees things differently than the rest of the "train-track thinkers." So when Standish and his only friend and neighbor, Hector, make their way to the other side of the wall, they see what the Motherland has been hiding. And it's big...

Evaluation Of Books Maggot Moon

I originally bought this book for my younger brother, thinking it might get him into reading as it has very short chapters and a cool cover. He didn't read it, because he hates to read books. So I thought I'd give it a go instead.Maggot Moon reminded me of The Book Thief, except it's one billion times better (and I adore The Book Thief). It's on an entirely different playing field. I think the main thing that makes it so amazing is its startling originality. But I can't fault anything about this

Maggot Moon by Sally Gardner - 3.75/5 starsMaggot Moon is an eerie book that takes place in an alternate historical place pretty much similar to the Nazi days but the main concern here isn't Hitler but the journey to the moon. Standish Treadwell and his Gramps live in Zone Seven where they are outcasts and are from the lower hierarchy chart, they're the unwanted group. They meet a new family, the Lush family, who are coincidentally neighbours and they become the best of friends. Standish and

So okay, I had no idea what Maggot Moon was about before I started reading it. I just knew people liked it a lot. So as I was reading I kept wondering how much of it was based on real history. I mean, it certainly sounds like Standish is living in a Soviet occupied country. But I was reading it in the middle of the woods on a mountain with no data service for miles, so I just had to finish the book instead. And while it becomes apparent that the Motherland is not exactly the Soviet Union (the

Alison for www.bigbooklittlebook.comMaggot Moon won this years Costa Coffee Childrens book Award and is probably the one to beat when it comes to Carnegie. Incredibly original Maggot Moon tells the story of Standish Treadwell, a dyslexic boy, who struggles to read and write, and therefore everybody has decided that he is stupid. The book is set in a dystopian world, but in this case a historical one. The book has the feel of 1950s Britain, but one that is a totalitarian state of the likes of

Maggot Moon is different from anything I've read before. I don't even know how to label it. Historical dystopia, maybe? I'm not sure 'alternate history' does it, although it is an alternate history of some sort, set in an universe which took obvious inspiration from Nazi Germany and Orwell's 1984. It's a beautiful, touching storyas disturbing as it is moving, with compelling characters and unique prose.

Thanks to Goodreads member Ellen Lee for recommending this delightful book. Set in a dystopian past reminiscent of Nazi-era Germany, this story chronicles the slow disintegration of a family by a totalitarian regime.At first read the tale seemed simplistic, but over the course of the novel I was able to become engrossed in it. The book also features an interesting graphic vignette of other creatures associated with despair such as flies and rats.Highly recommended for Young Adults.

Our narrator, the wonderfully named Standish Treadwell, is left bereft when his best friend Hector mysteriously disappears, probably taken by the tyrannical goons of the Motherland a totalitarian regime where dyslexics like Standish are held in scant regard. The Motherland is intent on winning the space race, getting to the moon first without caring who gets hurts in the process. However, what if it was all one big ploy, designed to keep people in their place? What if someone like Standish,
