It is fortunate that Pilot Officer Arthur Hughes decided to disregard regulations and keep a wartime journal of his experiences as a member of 18 Squadron RAF during the years 1939-40, for had he not done so we would have been denied the pleasure of reading the lucid account that fills the pages of this book.Its value as a historical document lies in the fact that it is a day-by-day commentary, in the words of the young man the author then was, relating his observations as a member of an operational RAF bomber squadron during a critical period of the Second World War. Arthur’s perceptive, articulate and candid descriptions of people, places and events provide present-day readers with a vivid impression of what his life at the time was like.Not long after Arthur had qualified as a pilot, his squadron was sent to France as part of the air contingent of the British Expeditionary Force. Based at Amiens in a photo reconnaissance role, their job was to spy on German troop movements towards the supposedly impregnable Maginot Line.Arthur’s descriptions of his sojourn in France provide an excellent insight into the conditions prevalent prior to, and during, the invasion. A picture emerges of a period of great contrasts in which the young aviators enjoyed hedonistic socialising punctuated by episodes of extreme danger.One by one, aircraft and crews were lost.As enemy forces closed in, 18 Squadron received orders to vacate their French bases and return to the UK, where, based in Norfolk, they swapped their reconnaissance role for that of an offensive bomber squadron during the subsequent Battle of Britain.

Merlin and a group of his friends were at their middle school on the night of the Fall Festival. Ms. White, a long term substitute teacher, showed them a mirror and told them to look into a mirror and think about whatever they saw. The magical mirror gave the students a curse or blessing based on how they saw themselves in the mirror. Unfortunately, it was Halloween when they looked into the mirror and everyone was wearing costumes. If they saw themselves as shorter than their friends, they might start getting shorter each day.

They felt no need to help the cursed friend and decided to stop Merlin and his friends from getting to the mirror.Will he risk losing his powers to help his friend? Can Merlin and his friends save the cursed friend or will they be stopped by the other students?

The mother-daughter connection is unlike any other, and while that special bond can often be filled with beauty and light, it can also take a dark turn and become abusive. A negative maternal experience is, sadly, very difficult for women to talk about. In Juanita and the House of Mirrors: My Journey through the Mother-Daughter Phenomenon, author Joy Richardson shares her difficult upbringing and the complex and painful relationship she had with her mother as well as relaying some stories shared with her by other women detailing their own mother-daughter experience. Insightful and rigorously honest, Richardson’s tales of her young life are grim accounts of abuse—both physical and mental—that convey the darkness of years spent in deep disconnection. While they may be uncomfortable, these pages also offer power, healing, hope, and even a little humor to the lives of those who may be struggling to come to terms with an unfinished maternal relationship.
