However, various elements of the fiction have separate creative teams with distinct, sometimes conflicting, visions. Aligned encompasses a variety of interconnected franchises-most prominently Prime, Rescue Bots, Robots in Disguise, and Rescue Bots Academy.Įarly on, Hasbro consistently referred to all Aligned fiction as one "continuity". Its core is the " Binder of Revelation", a 354-page brand bible co-written by Aaron Archer, Rik Alvarez and other Transformer experts from Hasbro and the fandom, charting billions of years worth of history for the Transformers. The Aligned continuity family launched in 2010 with the intention of being the foundation of the Transformers brand over the next decade.

For example, in the US, switching to a clean electricity grid using current technology (wind, solar, hydropower and nuclear) would raise electricity prices by about 15 per cent over current retail rates. In my research, I found some pleasant surprises. (Today the global number is about 860m people.) Around half of them lived in sub-Saharan Africa. ![]() A billion people, I learnt, did not have access to reliable electricity. Often, I’d fly into a country at night and be struck by the immensity of the darkness. A few times a year, I would travel abroad for the chance to see the work in action. ![]() Since the early 2000s, my wife Melinda and I have been funding efforts to improve health and fight poverty in lower- and middle-income countries. I became interested in climate change not as an environmentalist, but as an advocate for global health and development. It took me years to come to this point of view. Avoiding a climate disaster requires a different way of doing business, the courage to take on risks that many CEOs are not used to taking - and that investors are not used to rewarding. ![]() But there are in fact things businesses can do to make a measurable difference for the climate. Unfortunately, even the most dedicated climate change advocates have struggled to find satisfying answers to that question. ![]() ![]() Once her father comes, he takes her to casinos for her eighteenth birthday party and they snort some lines while there. ![]() The manager there is a porn dealer and offers her a job as a prostitute, but she declines.Īfter learning that her father is coming to her mother's home to be at the christening of her new baby, Hunter Seth, she begs her mother to let him come and she agrees, on the condition that Kristina has to be the one to tell her older sister Leigh.

Like the previous novel in the series, Glass has been the subject of controversy, with the book being partially responsible for a public appearance by Hopkins getting cancelled due to parental complaints. ![]() The third book of the series, Fallout, was published in 2010. ![]() Glass is the second novel in the verse novel series Crank by Ellen Hopkins, published in hardcover in August 2007 and in softcover on April 7, 2009. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yes, I knew she would step up to the plate and do “the right thing,” because that’s what fantasy heroines do. I’m not sure what happened here, but at certain critical junctures in the story, I found myself wondering how Genna would react, even though I felt I should have known. Genna, the narrator and main character of the story, was more clueless than I would have liked… and more shallow than any of Holly’s other characters. All of this is the excellence you’d expect from Holly Lisle. Holly portrays wonderful characters, led along an exciting adventure, in a vibrant fantasy world. (See especially the Little One’s review, which proves that, yes, I am really smarter than a 5’th grader!) ![]() In any case, here are our online reviews of The Ruby Key. But apparently, she didn’t make it very far through. The Little One’s classmates enjoyed her presentation, and one even asked to borrow the book. (Her 10 items, in the picture from upper-left to lower-right: a dog, a cat, a vial, a red key, a walking stick, the moon, a bell, a giant worm with sharp teeth, a boot, a backpack.) She—that is, the Little One—then collected 10 items from of the story for a “Book Bag,” a show-and-tell project she and her classmates do in school. ![]() As you can see, we gave our paperback quite a workout it was brand new when we started. A couple weeks ago, the Little One and I finished The Ruby Key, a youth fantasy novel by Holly Lisle. ![]() |
