Coming of Age – Page 3 – Scuffed Granny

The Storyteller by Dave Grohl

A view of life as a rock star but through a refreshingly different lens, that of Dave Grohl, one that exudes enthusiasm and love for life

A glimpse of the fading days of the dominance of the Hudson’s Bay Company, woven into a gripping tale of murder, lust and individual courage

A tale of a missing girl is the starting point which evolves into a delving into and a scrutiny of the lives of ordinary villagers

A story of a boy, his family and friends, navigating loss, anxiety and uncertainty at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Warm coming-of-age book about Violet, her friends, her family and their relationships, and first love

A wonderful romantic read which is heart-warming, easy reading with vivid characters and dialogue

A nice, heart-warming read about teenager Frances Finkel and her yearning to become a fighter plane pilot in the Second World War

A stimulating, thoughtful memoir about a young girl who enters a controversial church at its height and how this shaped her life and faith

Not a bad first effort from a new author about two young people, unhappy with life who are given a second chance

The book that begins Maya Angelou’s memoir is full of her experiences at a young age of what is wrong with the world but also, what is right
