Definitely the conclusive work on Winston Churchill. Obviously Roberts has out done himself in terms of investigation and research. The book is extremely detailed (many times to a tedious and excessive degree) but a fun read nonetheless. At 982 pages, it's definitely not a short or quick read but I enjoyed it all the same.

Winston Churchill visited the White House many times during his two terms as prime minister. He met with FDR and Dwight D. Eisenhower and shaped American foreign policy during the Second World War. He arrived after the attack on Pearl Harbor. He had a great relationship with FDR but not so much with Eisenhower.

“It's okay to be scared, but it's also okay to find ways to make it less scary.“

In my classroom, this book can help students understand emotional growth, encourage discussions about coping mechanisms, and emphasize the importance of friendship and creativity in personal development.

This book was published in 2020 and is a graphic novel that blends contemporary fiction with elements of mental health and healing. It follows Manuel, a middle schooler recovering from a traumatic experience, as he navigates his anxiety through photography and forms new friendships with classmates. The book explores themes of resilience, self-expression, and the power of art in overcoming fear.

My pacifist heart loved this book and cried over it in equal measure. Featuring Gertrude Bell, whom I first met years ago in Wallace‘s Desert Queen, T E Lawrence, and Winston Churchill as minor characters, the protagonist is witness to the Cairo Conference and its fallout that we are still experiencing. The story is engaging, and the final chapter provides much to think about. And Rosie the dachshund steals the show. #bookspin #24in2024
