Far Far Away

Publisher: Knopf Books for Young Readers
ISBN: 0375896988
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
A National Book Award Finalist An Edgar Award Finalist A California Book Award Gold Medal Winner A dark, contemporary fairy tale in the tradition of Neil Gaiman. Jeremy Johnson Johnson hears voices. Or, specifically, one voice: the ghost of Jacob Grimm, one half of The Brothers Grimm. Jacob watches over Jeremy, protecting him from an unknown dark evil whispered about in the space between this world and the next. But Jacob can't protect Jeremy from everything. When coltish, copper-haired Ginger Boultinghouse takes a bite of a cake so delicious it’s rumored to be bewitched, she falls in love with the first person she sees: Jeremy. In any other place, this would be a turn for the better for Jeremy, but not in Never Better, where the Finder of Occasions—whose identity and evil intentions nobody knows—is watching and waiting, waiting and watching. . . And as anyone familiar with the Brothers Grimm know, not all fairy tales have happy endings. Veteran writer Tom McNeal has crafted a young adult novel at once grim(m) and hopeful, full of twists, and perfect for fans of contemporary fairy tales like Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book and Holly Black's Doll Bones. The recipient of five starred reviews, Publishers Weekly called Far Far Away "inventive and deeply poignant."

She never expected to see her children again, but now tragedy has returned them to her—only they have no idea that she’s their mother—and delivered all of them back into danger. “Aunt Leah” will need some help, and an old ally has a suggestion: an enigmatic young hitman named Dax Blackwell. Never Far Away is a thrilling collision between old sins and new dreams, where the wills and ingenuity of a broken family will be tested against all odds.

“Alex FARAWAY And The Last Martian”, is the Book 1 of a science-fiction trilogy about an inventive boy named Alex Faraway and the adventures he encounters with large, robotic "insect-bots" (both good and evil) and a strange, orphaned girl who he finds living in an abandoned scrapyard just beyond the backyard of his rural home. The crux of the story deals with unexpected connections that Alex soon uncovers between the robots in the scrapyard, the girl, "Rainah“, and the planet Mars; but it is not with the Mars that we know of today, but with Mars when it was ten thousand years younger. And since his earliest memories, Alex has somehow known that his long-missing father is on that distant planet as well – why, he does not yet know, but he hopes to find him, somehow, someday. And how might he travel to that distant world to search for his dad? Why, in the spaceship he is building in his workshop nearby the scrapyard (with help from his own loyal robots and a fantastic engine known as the DIVE Drive) of course. But, will the wicked ones, namely The Others, lurking in the scrapyard allow him to leave? Suspend, for just a little while, all that you hold to be the usual, the normal and venture into the world of Alex Faraway; after you do, you may not wish to return.
