Recenzii
Katya Balen's October, October is a very special new addition to the shelf and deserves classic status
Quite simply one of the most beautiful books I've ever read
October, October is fierce with a wild love. It draws you in to its heart, shakes you with a fury, wraps you in a spell of storytelling. In lyrical prose, Katya Balen gives us a modern day heroine filled with courage. I loved every page.
In October, October the greenwood meets the city. Wise and bright - I loved it.
The most wonderful, original treasure of a story
It's EXQUISITE. Read it. Wild yourself. Open your heart to it. Written with the pen of a poet and the soul of Mother Earth. Glorious. It's like nothing else I've ever read.
A modern classic ... relevant, comforting and life-affirming
This book feels like a secret treasure found in the woods . earthy and magic and beautiful. I want to buy a copy for everyone I know.
One of the most beautiful children's books I've ever read
The world is not a simple place, and Balen draws a touching, spikey, sparky, dangerous, heartful portrait of a girl slowly learning that.
This is what language can do - tell a story that burns with intense, furious passion, and yet be so disciplined that one never doubts, not for one moment, the emotional truths driving it. This song of the wild and of our most profound human longings is deeply moving, deeply satisfying, and it's my children's book of the year.
One of my favourite books this year. Beautiful and uplifting, a powerful evocation of nature and wildness that I found both surprising and incredibly moving. Tears were shed!
The perfect Autumn read - you can almost smell the damp leaves, crisp air and smoke from a distant bonfire ... It would be an ideal book to read alongside forest school sessions.
A timeless, lyrical treasure that sees a girl who's at one with the wild struggle with the world beyond her woods ... An unforgettable story, an unforgettable heroine
Balen's immensely touching, well-written story about the pleasures and perils of wildness combines a lush, autumnal sensibility with a perceptive story about a transitional phase in a young girl's life.
This is a sensitive account of adjusting to change and the grief that comes with it
This is the beautifully told second novel of a remarkable new writer
I've also just been introduced to the first two stunning children's books by Katya Balen, both published by Bloomsbury: The Space We're In and October, October. If you have a middle-grader, or know one, or are one ... treat yourself
The theme of raising a wild bird is at the heart of Katya Balen's October, October ... Only it's about more than that: about the gap between life in the wild woods and in London, where October is saved by mudlarking, and friendship with a boy called Yusuf
Written in beautiful prose, it is a heartbreakingly tender story of growing up, childhood, finding your own space, learning to forgive and ultimately celebrating what it is in the human spirit that gives hope to us all
As soon as I had finished it, I wanted to go right back to the beginning and read it all over again
October, October is one of those books which, as soon as I had finished it, I wanted to go right back to the beginning and read it all over again
An incredible story about love, loss, hope and overcoming adversity
Balen's touching, perceptive story about a transitional phase in a young girl's life is full of heart, lush description and the love of wild nature'
