The Secret Life of An Avid Reader Post Run Date: May 28 This book had me on a roller coaster. One minute I was really feeling it and the next I was so over it. I was even tempted to stop reading it altogether a couple of times, but I kept going because of the Amy's writing. She has a great sense of writing style, and while this book felt 'younger' the words weren't. I mean the first couple of paragraphs had me cracking up. I really liked April, and while I did have some issues with her (similar to above... aka good girl becoming mean girl to defeat original mean girl), I felt like April always knew what she was doing was wrong. Also, she never believed Britney was that great of a person when she became friends with her, she was just lonely and I could totally understand that. I was lucky enough that I never had to go through the first day (or year) of high school without friends, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. And Britney really is the typical mean girl. She is nasty and cruel and as self absorbed as ever. And she advocates shallow things, like not gaining weight by not eating , though this next line made me laugh: Remember, a growling stomach is just a round of applause for a job well done! The story moves really quickly and things fall apart for April in the first third of the book. Its your typical revenge/nemesis story, with a love interest of course, but I did find it lacking a little in the love side and the way it was set-up. Overall, I still enjoyed the story and think April is a realistic character, smart and funny, and no matter what I don't ever really think she questions that. She is more self-assured than she ever realized.

M.J. Putney’s YA debut takes place in regency England where there magic in the world which is commonly used by the lower classes but is shunned by the elite and upper class. When Lady Victoria Mansfield accidentally reveals her powers, her father is quick to protect the family reputation and sends her off to Lackland Abbey, a reform school for privileged children. There they learn to suppress their magical abilities and hopefully one day be able to return to their families. The reason Tory’s powers were exposed in the first place was because she did something very heroic and it ended up saving a life. The result was disappointment and disgust from her father, friends and neighbours and also society but she doesn’t regret it one bit. It really shows what kind of character she is--strong, brave and self-sacrificing. Cynthia who is Tory’s roommate is pretty much the opposite. They get off on the wrong foot but by the end there’s a big turnaround with her character. Two characters that I wanted to more of was Elspeth and Allarde. Elspeth Tory become friends at Lackland and she was present through a lot of the story but her character wasn’t a big focus and mostly left in the background. There is an eventual romance between Tori and Allarde. The first time they’re introduced there’s a spark between the two and an instant connection. My problem was that there wasn’t enough interaction between the two until the later half of the book so the romance didn’t feel believable to me and I just wasn’t feeling it. With the title of “Dark Mirror” and also having a mirror on the cover I knew the mirror would be an important object in the story. It’s a time travelling story but instead travelling back in time Tory and some of her fellow students are able to travel to the future and help England in the time of WWII. Tory and her friends do manage to use their magic to help out and by the end most of the loose ends are tied up so I’m curious to see where M.J. Putney will take the story in the next book as it is the first book in a series.

As a parent of a toddler and the husband of an Asian, I was very curious about this book. I've heard lots of uproar from American parents about how critical Chua is of Western parenting. As I read the book, however, I found myself agreeing with her more than I disagreed with her. As a teacher, I've had hundreds of parent/teacher conferences and seeing (over and over again) the way American parents speak to their kids, it's hard not to agree with Chua that Western parents give too much independence to their children. I've seen so many weenie parents (a Fred Jones term) say things to their kids like [imagine the weeniest voice ever], "Johnny, if you maybe have time when you come home from school--after you have a snack and watch TV for an hour--do you think maybe, if you're not too tired, that you could maybe do a couple of minutes of homework?" Perhaps I'm over-dramatizing a little, but the communication styles leave no doubt the source of the problem. I think many parents think that their kids are the problems when it's actually the other way around. Parents are the ones that tell their kids what to do. Parents should make the decisions--not the kids. One of Chua's many tenets is that Western parents treat their children under the assumption that kids are weak (at all cost avoiding hurting their child's feelings), while Chinese parents communicate with their child, under the assumption that their child is strong. It was very refreshing to read this, as it mirrors my teaching philosophy toward students. If you know a child is capable of something and yet they do less than what they're capable of, why would you ever communicate in a way that encourages that? While I agree with much of Chua's philosophy, I disagree with her style. I think it's one thing to have high standards (and communicate in a way that reinforces those standards), but it's another thing to use verbal abuse (insults, name calling, etc) to achieve that communication. There's a difference between being firm and being a bitch. I think the interesting piece of the book is the conclusion she draws. She wants to say that Chinese parenting is better than Western parenting. But because of the hyper-intense power struggles that she has with her youngest daughter, she stops short of making that conclusion. She spends the entire book criticizing American parents for letting their children make too many decisions, and the majority of the book focuses on the never-ending battles between her youngest daughter and herself and who gets to make the decision. Throughout the book, she fails to give in to her hard-headed daughter. At the end of the book, however, she ultimately gives in (despite her daughter's immense abilities). Because of this, she is unable to draw the conclusion that she wants to. As for how this will affect my parenting: Like Chua, I'd like to have extremely high standards. I'd like my children to be constantly aware when they are not meeting expectations (being extremely firm, but not a dick), but effusively praising when they do meet (or exceed) expectations. Here's how I apply Chua's conclusion, though: If you have a child like her oldest (who does everything you ask), use the high-expectations to have them realize their potential. If you have a child that is hard-headed in a cut-off-their-ear-to-spite-their-face kind of way (like her youngest), you have to adjust. What you have to adjust, I think, is not the high expectations, but rather the control of some of the decision-making. I say this as someone who was/is incredibly independent (and could not be told what to do as a child). If I were Chua, I would not have forced Lulu (the youngest daughter) to continue the violin (the majority of the book is about the battles they had over violin) when she became a teenager (which is actually what Chua did, though I think she pushed far too long). Once the kid becomes a teenager and really starts asserting their asshole-ness, you should trust that you've instilled a strong work-ethic, persistence, self-motivation, etc, but letting the kid choose how they realize those qualities. In the book, Chua pushes and pushes and pushes her daughter in insane ways to do violin, even though it is clearly more for Chua than Lulu. Let the kid choose the medium, but maintain the same standards for that new focus. (At the end, this is what Chua does, when Lulu chooses tennis.)
