Product Information

Stand By Me meets We Were Liars- a heartbreaking and stunning breakout novel for teenagersfrom the award-nominated author of Seed. Before becoming a mum to her three sons, she was a secondary school English teacher and loved inspiring teenagers to read. I know that it's mega mega hard to be open about things like that, but Blister could have really helped her. Take the top layer of that tip and bend it over the base, then pull down the pieces from the bottom layer to give your butterfly its lower wings.

I think that the resulting butterfly craft is simply adorable and looks far more complicate than the craft actually is! As you do this, the paper should collapse onto itself in a triangle shape along the diagonal creases you made. One of the things that shocked me the most at the end was what Megan said, and again, I can't discuss this because of spoilers, but what she said had me reeling, and it was kind of unbelievable but at the same time, I did believe her. There is no way you can come out of this book not having hated Kathleen and fallen in love with June and Blister. Now this isn’t like our normal Corner Bookmark Designs– which usually require some embellishments and decorations, but more of a “classic” Origami Pattern!Not since The Enchanted have I read anything so painful, so upsetting, so hopeless but yet somehow framed in hope. Unfortunately, while Blister offered respite, sometimes the abuse became too much and I felt some scenes ran gratuitous.

Paper Butterflies by Lisa Heathfield Review – Paper Butterflies by Lisa Heathfield

From the first couple of pages as you begin to realise what is happening to June your heart just breaks for her and you want to reach directly into the pages and help her, comfort her and protect her. This book evoked so much emotion in me that at times I just had to put it to the side and calm myself down. The depictions of gaslighting, force-feeding, lack of belief, and racially-charged abuse, in particular, are horrifying but incredibly accurate to real-life abuse.She truly brings into question the importance of a victim speaking out and shows that by not speaking out things can get even worse than imaginable. It brings light to an illness we hardly ever hear about and it brought back some good but sad memories for me. I devoured this novel in just two sittings as the beauty of the writing and the poignancy of the tale compelled me to keep going until I discovered the light at the end of the tunnel.

Five years after the accidental shooting of Marley Bricket, her friends, who were there the day she died, reunite when a box of letters from Marley is found in her former home.Lisa Heathfield redefines my ability to give star ratings, and the two stars are not reflective of her writing style and excellent management of plot. Strictly speaking these are not “pure” origami, as there is a little cutting involved, as well as the need for a little bit of string or glue. From award-winning author Benjamin Dean comes a deliciously dark and addictive YA thriller following the lives of Gen Z’s rich and famous through the lens of an undercover teen journalist.
