Glow (The Plated Prisoner Series Book 4)

Product Information

Glow is a gem of a book. Probably one of my top five of this year. So. Good. I'll be pushing it into readers hands for sure. (And not just the teen ones.) I have to thank the teen patron who recommended it to me, making me promise to read it. I'm so glad I did. Although this is a young adult book I feel that it should be aimed at the older teenager, as the story unfolds we come face to face with the horrific effects of exposure to radium. I loved The Radium Girls: The Dark Story of America's Shining Women, a nonfiction book I stumbled upon last year. The horrible, gruesome story of the dial painters and the poisoning they unwittingly exposed themselves to on a daily basis was tragic and emotional and impossible to put down. It was fascinating to learn about this true and tragic event that happened in my home state of New Jersey. I thought that alternating between the past and present was an innovative idea that kept me in suspense and made me want to read more. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Glow and recommend reading this book especially if you enjoy historical fiction and don’t mind a little bit of present day action mixed in. There are some parts that can be disturbing and mature so young or squeamish readers should not read this novel.

I received this book for free from Publisher (via Netgalley) in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Read this review and more on my blog. The Book Return Blog I love historical fiction but I have found that just plain historical fiction can be a bit dry. I really enjoy historical-fiction novels that switch between past and present points of view. When this done well, the past and present POV weave together two seemingly unrelated storylines that come together seamlessly. This book was divided into two primary sections that were interwoven. I loved the letters that told the story of the dial painters. I tolerated the modern story of the young girl who found the paintings. To me, Julie (the modern girl) was not a very sympathetic character nor could I identify with her at all. She seemed superficially drawn and rushed. I adored Liza and Lydia though (the two primary dial painters). Their story was told through letters written to Lydia’s sweetheart who was fighting in WWI. I found 'Glow' completely fascinating. I had never heard about the radium girls before. The radium girl's story is so enthralling and tragic. I can't believe their plight isn't more well known. This is such an important part of history. I have since found out that a non-fiction account of the radium girls story has been published and I am anxious to find out how it compares to 'Glow.'Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing - This facial aims tosoothe themind andrebalance theskin.

The story is told through the eyes of an introverted lead character, Little Glow, a candle flame who wishes to be bolder and brighter. The flame watches from afar as families in the street celebrate various religious and cultural festivals throughout the year, including Chinese New Year, Diwali, Hannukah, Ramadan and Christmas. But, as a family gathers around Little Glow for their own special celebration, it becomes clear that even the smallest of lights have an important purpose.Handmade Cinderella Light Up Art, Personalized Gift, 16 Color LED Kid's Room Night Light Lamp, FREE Engraving, Remote Control, Fan Gift From the window of a cosy house in a seaside town, a lonely little candle looks out onto the world. Throughout the year, the small flame watches on as families use different kinds of light to celebrate Lunar New Year, Diwali, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Halloween and Christmas. Julie's story is one that while realistic, also got rather annoying at times with how she placed the blame for her choices on others instead of choosing to go to a different school while she saved to go to her dream one. I also really disliked how she treated Lauren, I get it you don't have money anymore, but instead of just pouting all the time, find cheap things to do etc., don't just shut your best friend out and then wonder why they don't come around. As you can probably tell I got pretty frustrated with Julie for most of the book. The ending did redeem her a little bit.

Given the historical story told here and it's eventual impact on today's labour laws, working condition requirements and perhaps even women's right or respect in the workplace; I am disappointed that Glow has such a small readership base to date. Relax your body, restore your energy and ease muscle tension with this result driven treatment. Our skilled therapists will adapt their pressure to your preference and needs. Choose between ‘Tonic’ Oil to help stimulate the body and mind or ‘Relax’ Oil to invoke a feeling of absolute calm. Personally, I would have liked more of Lydia's story, or maybe Julie actually working on her own to figure out what happened etc, instead of just trying to recreate the glow herself. Having said that though I did enjoy this book. At first, I wasn't sure how I felt about Lydia's POV being told through her letters to her beau Walter. As I read, I realized these snippets of her life lead to the build-up of finding out what happened to her and her family. Their story was definitely a tear-jerker.
