I feel terrible for the families and a lot of people were very scared, made much worse by the media fuss. But the neighbours are starting to pull together and talk and it's been good getting to know a few of them better, even if it's not ideal circumstances. \\r\n\\r\nI just posted a Write Away review of \u003Ca href=\"http://www.writeaway.org.uk/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,3538/Itemid,99999999/\">How to Heal a Broken Wing\u003C/a> by \u003Cb>Bob Graham\u003C/b>, which seems sort of fitting. I think a lot of people interested in graphic novels might miss this book because it will most likely be placed on chlidren's picture book racks.
