Empowerment and power are not the same thing. When Cooper learned of her grandmothers eloquent rage about love, sex, and marriage in an epic and hilarious front-porch confrontation, her life was changed. Why? Have you ever noticed that people who have real “power”-wealth, job security, influence-don’t attend “empowerment” seminars? Power is not attained from books and seminars. Did we have enough drive?

Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books Wolf allows readers to experience the tragedy from all decks. The themes of natural disaster, technology, social class, survival, and death all play out here. Wolf's novel in verse gives voice, through first-person accounts, to a cross section of passengers and crew on the Titanic: how they boarded, why they're there, and how they face the disaster. A lyrical, monumental work of fact and imagination that reads like an oral history revved up by the drama of the event. Wolf brings the history and, more importantly, the human scale of the event to life by giving voice to the players themselves. Twenty-four voices-of passengers, rats and even the iceberg-evoke the human tragedy of the ill-fated voyage. Wolf's carefully crafted characters evolve as the voyage slides to its icy conclusion readers may be surprised by the potency of the final impact. Wolf constructs a richly textured novel in verse that recreates the Titanic's ill-fated journey, predominantly through the voices of her passengers. Wolf leaves no emotion unplumbed, no area of research uninvestigated, and his voices are so authentic they hurt. ![]() The circle tate james7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() As soon as I started I was beyond hooked!
