Jacqueline Beard and 2 other people liked Gareth Griffith's review of Escape to Molokai: "Escape to Molokai by Spike Brown is a real find. Set in Hawaii in 1946, this YA novel is fast-paced, never letting up as it takes the reader from one adventurous incident to another. Behind its hurtling narrative, providing the book with real grit..." Read more of this review »

Jacqueline’s Quotes

“Look, the Devil has asked me. We’re very old acquaintances, he and I, and I couldn’t turn him down. My estate is enormous, so he asked me for a little space, since hell has become totally overpopulated and there’s no room left whatsoever. He doesn’t have any choice in the matter Himself. Nowadays, everyone wants to go to hell, and the Devil, being as decent as he is, can’t turn anyone down. You understand, don’t you? There’s nobody left in Heaven. Heaven has gone bankrupt,”.”

“Publishing a book is like stuffing a note into a bottle and hurling it into the sea. Some bottles drown, some come safe to land, where the notes are read and then possibly cherished, or else misinterpreted, or else understood all too well by those who hate the message. You never know who your readers might be.”
― Margaret Atwood
