I felt the same way about meeting Felix in Now, he was such a sweet little boy and a kind man. <br /><br />After reading and hearing about the Black Saturday fires, I can truly believe Australians will never forget them. These kinds of fires are so horrible and my heart always goes out to the people and other living things effected by them.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966330143385469554.post-64299629179397996142012-05-03T07:50:30.002-04:002012-05-03T07:50:30.002-04:00Jess, I hope you get a chance to read them, too. ...Jess, I hope you get a chance to read them, too.

The descriptions of the fires was so realistic, we forget what damage fire can do and of course, the symbolism of the bushfire are regards the Holocaust isn't hard to see. <br />I also read about the Black Saturday Bushfires (and remember hearing about them) We have them in parts of the States here and no matter where they occur, they are so devastating.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966330143385469554.post-55872251102206541092012-05-03T07:44:14.159-04:002012-05-03T07:44:14.159-04:00M, these are all such powerful books and come toge...M, these are all such powerful books and come together so nicely, Now will be available in the beginning of June.

It was an honour to meet Felix the man in Now after getting to know him in the earlier two books. As an Australian, I can vouch that the Black Saturday fires will be remembered in our national consciousness.Vicki Stantonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10389901886509853702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966330143385469554.post-44869558340700391592012-05-02T21:12:57.997-04:002012-05-02T21:12:57.997-04:00Okay- I have to get these books!
