There are pictures of cities going up (railway tunnels are bored, streetcar tracks are laid, buildings are erected) as that rural country becomes more connected and urban. It was not so long ago that crowds were an unusual sight in a mostly rural country, and the pictures reflect that excitement. There are a lot of pictures of crowds in this selection, which has been culled from the millions of images Globe photojournalists have taken over the past 100 years. If you string them together and look at them long enough, patterns start to emerge. An archive like this – a century, as of this month, of photographs taken by Globe and Mail staff photographers – thereby becomes a succession of stopped moments. They freeze a moment of the present so that the moment can be examined more closely in the future.

Opening this fall at the Columbus Museum of Art, an expansive retrospective surveys Sendak’s unparalleled contributions to both children’s literature and the discipline, more broadly. The late artist and author Maurice Sendak is responsible for bringing us some of the most beloved, iconic childhood stories, and his distinctive style and fantastical beasts defined classics like In the Night Kitchen, Outside Over There, and of course, the ever-popular Where the Wild Things Are.

Suzui tries his best to keep Yumeko out of trouble, but to his chagrin, she turns out to be the type of person best suited to attend Hyakkaou: a compulsive gambler. Her exploits draw the attention of the student council members, who start meddling in her affairs. Despite Suzui's warnings, Yumeko quickly becomes immersed in the school's gambling scene, facing off against several high-profile opponents. His circumstances soon change when a mysterious new transfer student, Yumeko Jabami, arrives at the academy. Ryouta Suzui spends his days as a "house pet"-a student ranked in the bottom one hundred, forced to serve his peers. Come nightfall, many places on campus transform into gambling dens overseen by the student council, where players compete for rank, money, and more. Instead, they value strategic prowess and the ability to read people. However, unlike other schools, students at Hyakkaou do not pride themselves on academic achievement.

The blurb on the digital copy I read from my library said this was "The Notebook" meets "Serendipity". However, from a developmental standpoint - for character and plot, that's not always ideal. I read this book in about 45 minutes one afternoon, and one thing I can say is that Colasanti's books are incredibly easy to move through most of the time, because she's dialogue heavy and the prose moves in a streamline, so the stories are easy to move through and understand. Quick review for a relatively quick read, though I'm writing a review about it months after the fact? (Figure that one out.) Still debating on the rating, but I'm guessing 2 stars at this point. I still think Colasanti struggles to identify her audience, as some subjects are mature for presentation in this work, but the writing suggests that it's aimed towards a younger target audience.
