![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Students like Marlón are a growing demographic thus, the author calls for teachers to consider the benefits of creating instructional spaces for low‐risk, low‐tech writing to ease transnational, emergent multilingual students into classroom and school‐based writing. In the process, Marlón created an agentive border space that spanned cultures, nations, and languages in ways that authentically represented his multifaceted and complex identity and lived history. As such, the author demonstrates how the relatively low‐stakes, low‐tech, dialogic nature of journaling afforded Marlón the opportunity to create a transborder writing space in which he enacted agency in his decisions to translanguage, engage in multimodal writing, invoke familial knowledge, and share personal experiences. The author shows how Marlón, a newly arrived immigrant from Guatemala, leveraged existing bodies of linguistic, content, and experiential knowledge to maximize his participation in the classroom‐based literacy practice of dialogue journaling. Centering the literacy practice of a newly arrived, transnational, emergent multilingual student, the author provides insights into how these students, particularly when positioned as lacking literacy and content knowledge when labeled as students with interrupted formal education, might benefit socioemotionally and educationally from the opportunity to story their own lives and write their way. ![]()

He also knew he had to send a message to a reluctant ally across the pond. Churchill knew he had to prepare his people for the possible fall of France. The soldiers were only saved thanks to a curious halt order from the German command, and the Nazis were just days away from entering Paris.

It's something we deal with everyday without even knowing it, but we see it mostly in animals. Granted, it's a large part of the novel, but it was almost a side-plot and I would love to read a novel strictly about the mutations. It's something not dealt with in space sci-fi, and I appreciated that. But what I felt was unique was that he went into the consequences of colonizing these planets. ![]() Young describes how planets become colonized and transformed to suit human life. The world that was created was actually quite well thought out. We're given just enough about him to know his part in the mission is out of character, and his later revelation we understand to be a big turning point in his life. What was at first slightly frustrating, I grew to appreciate that we're not told everything about the world or Twelve. When he finds the only survivors of a massacred town, three children, he finds himself on a mission to rescue the fourth survivor. The novel follows the stranger called Twelve, a bounty hunter who travels to frontier planets looking for work. ![]() ![]() But the more I think about it, the more depth I find in the writing.
