![]() I knew about Pablo Neruda 15 years ago when I was still in the University – and since then I’ve fallen in love with his poetry. I also thought it was the perfect book to feature today since Pablo Neruda’s birthday falls on the 12th of July. Naturally, I borrowed it the first chance I got. As luck would have it, our community library here in Singapore has a copy of the book. I have looked at some of the earlier posts on Nonfiction Monday and I have seen this title a few times. This is our first official foray into Nonfiction Monday at the Kidlitosphere with Anastasia Suen.

![]() ![]() But a typical “home invasion” this isn’t, and in turning genre tropes on their head, Tremblay unveils a devastating meditation on the slippery nature of faith, love and survival. The premise of Tremblay’s work, which won Best Novel at the 2019 Bram Stoker Awards, begins deceptively simple: A family’s vacation goes sideways when four armed people break into their lakeside cabin and unleash horror. The script was originally written by Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman, but was re-written (and presumably retitled) by Shyamalan. What happens when a novel of unabashed and beautiful ambiguity gets in the hands of a decidedly unsubtle - at times even blunt - filmmaker? Knock at the Cabin happens, an adaptation of Paul Tremblay’s 2018 novel, The Cabin at the End of the World, written and directed by the one and only M. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With Okay for Now, which was a finalist for the National Book Award in 2011, at the top of every list of predicted winners for the Newbery Medal in 2012, I knew it was time to get reading. The other honorees? Also a tough crowd with Jacqueline Woodson taking a silver for her phenomenal book feathers and the Newbery Medal winner Christopher Paul Curtis taking a silver for Elijah of Buxton. Laura Amy Schlitz's Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Voices from a Medieval Village (which is every bit as different as it is as good as The Wednesday Wars) won the gold that year. As much as I love, love, love The Wednesday Wars, I am profoundly glad I was not one of the judges who had to make a choice that year. When I was about half way through The Wednesday Wars by two-time Newbery Honor winner Gary D Schmidt I paused to wonder what book had won the Newbery Medal in 2008? The Wednesday Wars was proving very worthy of the buzz that surrounded it since it was published, a buzz that kicked up again when Schmidt's newest book, Okay for Now, came out in April of 2011, and I had to know what book was better than Schmidt's that year. ![]() ![]() ![]() After spending more than a decade held captive on their run-down farm, she’s left speechless and dazed when her father strikes a bargain to settle a long-overdue debt.
