Beskrivning
A collection of jaunty and mischievously unsettling poems for middle-grade readers from award-winning poet Shannon Bramer and artist Cindy Derby, who brought us Climbing Shadows (NCTE Notable Poetry Book and Verse Novel, shortlisted for the Rocky Mountain Book Award).Shannon’s twenty-eight poems in Nightmare Jones send delightful shivers down the spine. Written in a variety of styles and forms, they encompass magic realism and influences from fairy tales, folklore and ghost stories, alongside more contemporary explorations of unusual creatures, misunderstood monsters and commonplace human fears (both ridiculous and sublime!). Cindy Derby’s evocative line and watercolor illustrations inhabit these weird and wonderful works with her characteristic flair for the strange and witchy wonders of the world.In these poems what makes a person scared might also make them sad, or even make them laugh, as Bramer writes from a place of wonder, empathy, curiosity and reverence for the deep dark woods we all have inside us. If you’ve ever wanted to spend some time in a witch’s garden or wondered what spiders do with our worries, this is the poetry book for you!Key Text Featuresdialogueepigraphillustrationspoemsrecipestable of contentsvignettesCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.2Determine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text, including how characters in a story or drama respond to challenges or how the speaker in a poem reflects upon a topic; summarize the text.CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.6.4Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of a specific word choice on meaning and tone

Recensioner i media

“Nightmare Jones is a book I wish I had growing up. Each poem is an ode to the iridescent dark, the delicious nightmares, and the silvery threads of childhood. Readers will thrill in these worlds that float between starlight spiders and glimmering gemstones, the venomous spike and the viper flowers. Paired with Cindy Derby’s dream-edged illustrations, Shannon Bramer’s words sing, bewitchingly and true. She doesn’t just reveal the ‘tiny fires’ in us with her poetry, she wisely knows that the embers are already there. These poems will set them ablaze.” — Gillian Sze, author of The Little Green Envelope
