      This book sound like a really good book because it tells you like this girl is curious about her parent and why they are acting weird and hiding secrets, so she sets out to find out why they are acting the way they are.
  • Running out of Time
  • Science and capital are so organised that if someone refuses the unjust standards, even in an attempt to escape, they are forced to rely on the capitalist that destroys those attempts.
  • idealist parents who, in an attempt to escape the cruelty of the contemporary megalomaniac and criminal world, attempt to build a utopia in a Clifton Village.
  • important point of the book is that there seems to be no
  • utopia fails.

      most of his family writs!!!
  • Authors and Artists for Young Adults on Harry Mazer In addition to being part of a writing family that includes wife Norma Fox Mazer and daughter Anne Mazer, novelist Harry Mazer has received critical acclaim for his many young adult novels--including The Island Keeper, Cave under the City, and Who Is Eddie Leonard"--which illustrate the values of perseverance, self-esteem, and inner fortitude. Noting that, "despite their predicaments, Mazer's protagonists usually emerge morally victorious," Twentieth-Century Young Adult Writers contributor Mary Lystad cited as Mazer's strength his depiction of the "emotional turmoil, the humor and pain" of adolescence. "His characters are resilient and strong," Lystad continued. "His endings emphasize compassion, understanding, resourcefulness, and honesty." "A dream is made by real effort," Mazer once explained in an essay in Something about the Author Autobiography Series (SAAS). Mazer was in his mid-thirties when he and his wife began to write every day; they wrote for the "women's true confessions" market, using the money to support the family.

  • Harry Mazer's The Last Mission is drawn closely from his experiences as a seventeen-year-old in the Army Air Corps. Like Jack, he was a Jewish boy from the Bronx full of fantasies about heroism, and like Jack, he became a waist gunner and never fired his guns. He remembers, "I was scared every time we flew....On our 26th mission we flew over Pilzen, Czechoslovakia, to bomb the Skoda Munitions Works. We missed our target, turned over the target again, and were hit. I saw Mike, who was our radio operator, frozen in the door of the radio room. He never made it out of the plane. Only three of us parachuted....No one in the plane lived." ( ALAN Review, Fall 1980) Harry Mazer is the editor of Twelve Shots: Outstanding Short Stories About Guns, where twelve authors explore the extreme emotions that guns provoke in all of us. Walter Dean Myers, Rita Williams-Garcia, Richard Peck and other well-known authors create a riveting collection of short fiction that explores the emotion-driven world of guns.
