“A man may plant a tree for a number of reasons. Perhaps he likes trees. Perhaps he wants shelter. Or perhaps he knows that someday he may need the firewood.”

gaykatara:

any of y’all remember Suzanne Collins’ other book series? It had all the commentary about young people in wartime and the pressure of being the chosen one as The Hunger Games but also, like? People rode around on giant bats named after characters from Greek mythology? There was a mouse genocide? I’m pretty sure the central conflict of the second book was whether the main character, an 11-year-old boy, would be able to kill a baby that would grow up to be a mass murderer according to a prophecy?

straight folks: wouldnt it be wild if people were oppressed…. for being IN LOVE?
lgb folks: Um,
straight folks: haha wild im gonna write a dystopian novel about this

There are some themes, some subjects, too large for adult fiction; they can only be dealt with adequately in a children’s book.

Phillip Pullman – His Dark Materials.

Artist – Peter Bailey

Publisher – The Folio Society

”The heroine of His Dark Materials is 12-year-old Lyra Belacqua, who lives half-wild and carefree with her animal dæmon among the scholars of Jordan College, Oxford. Lyra’s guardian, Lord Asriel, has made an enemy of the sinister and all-powerful Church authorities – the Magisterium. Caught up in the conflict, Lyra must travel great distances, to the frozen Arctic wastes and beyond, towards a fateful encounter with Will Parry, a fugitive boy from another world. When Lyra and Will join forces, their perilous journey leads them to a decisive battle between freedom and authority, in which Lyra will play the ultimate part.”
