Languages : en
Pages : 125
Book Description
Brianna is fed up. It isn’t enough for this Ivy Labyrinth and its never-ending stream of challenges to have ripped her away from her loving family and bright future. It just will not stop throwing her into situations with popular asshole, Ash. He keeps making nice with her best friend, Kristy, and discussing academic and logic puzzles like he hasn’t spent the last three years goofing off in all of his classes. On top of that, when Kai and Kristy are forced to stay behind after a Sphinx’s riddle goes awry, he has the gall to trust her and follow her judgment completely during a dangerous situation. But whenever she tries to have a basic conversation, he blows her off and avoids her like the plague. Well, as much as one can be avoided while being forced together in a maze. As she tries to peel away Ash’s layers to find the truth underneath, Brianna finds herself facing her own secrets that she has tried so hard to bury. For the first time, she will have to confront whether or not she could have been very, very wrong about the boy she has despised for their entire educational lives. This book contains mature themes, including teenage bullying, verbal and emotional familial abuse, hospitalization with serious injuries due to accidents, and briefly mentions trauma and suicide.

Girl Head
Author: Genevieve Yue
Publisher: Fordham University Press
ISBN: 0823289575
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 147
Book Description
Girl Head shows how gender has had a surprising and persistent role in film production processes, well before the image ever appears onscreen. For decades, feminist film criticism has focused on issues of representation: images of women in film. But what are the feminist implications of the material object underlying that image, the filmstrip itself? What does feminist analysis have to offer in understanding the film image before it enters the realm of representation? Girl Head explores how gender and sexual difference have been deeply embedded within film materiality. In rich archival and technical detail, Yue examines three sites of technical film production: the film laboratory, editing practices, and the film archive. Within each site, she locates a common motif, the vanishing female body, which is transformed into material to be used in the making of a film. The book develops a theory of gender and film materiality through readings of narrative film, early cinema, experimental film, and moving image art. This original work of feminist media history shows how gender has had a persistent role in film production processes, well before the image ever appears onscreen.

The Ivy Labyrinth: Volume 1
Author: Cady Hammer
Publisher: Cady Hammer
ISBN: 1736886339
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
Kristy Fitzpatrick just can’t catch a break. As a mortal in a magical world, she often feels disconnected from the rest of her mystical, more exciting classmates. The only thing that she has to compete with in the classroom is her mind. But even for a magical being like her impulsive naiad best friend, Brianna, life is far from stable. Centuries ago, when a fully formed labyrinth sprang from the ocean, the magic emanating from its ivy walls caused all kinds of devastating magical consequences that affect the planet every year from magical instability in beings all over the world to chaotic natural disasters. Every year, four high school students are chosen to enter the labyrinth and try to break its hold on the world by solving a series of complex riddles and challenges. Most never come out. But when Kristy’s school is selected as the home of the next four students, despite her lack of choice in the matter, she sees an opportunity to do something that no other student has managed to do so far: survive the labyrinth. In Volume 1 of this Hunger Games-meets-Maze Runner high fantasy story from Kindle Vella and Radish, Kristy is about to learn whether her mind and body are up to the task. Because somehow, as she tests her own limitations, the Labyrinth is learning how to best her and her companions. There is no telling what kind of obstacles could come next.
