We live with ghosts. We live with thugs, dodgers, punkers, needle ladies, pork knuckle. We live where there's no place else to go. We live with birds--a pair of magpies in the old hospital turrets, a fat yellow-beaked grebe in the thick sticks of the plane trees. A man named Sebastian has moved into the Kiez from France. My mother's got an eye on him.

    I've had this one on my list for a while, because my son lived in Berlin for several years and photographed the art on the walls at the 20th anniversary of the wall coming down. I like the idea of these kids trying to connect, despite the wall between them.

    Germany! Are you in Germany until Christmas? How fun!

    I read this book last year and found it confusing. I wish it had been written in a more straight forward fashion. What do you think?

    Happy 5 year old Meme Birthday! Are you really in Germany? I don't know much about Instagram. So, my Friday 56 might not appear in the right place. Well, what does Sebastian look like?? That is a beautiful description about the birds and all.

    This book has to do with the Berlin Wall, right? Sounds interesting.
    Congratulations on your five-year Friday 56 anniversary, and thank you for hosting. I've enjoyed participating.

    Congrats on 5 years! I loved Berlin! I was there the summer before my senior year in high school. The wall came down 1 1/2 years later. I've added this to my TBR. But I have to say I've now read the comments and am kind of worried this book won't live up to my expectations.

      Don't worry.
      What is good for some, may not be for others, that is true. But how will you know which one you are if you don't read it?

Our heroes pull out all the stops to try and win the tournament, break the witch's hold on King Arthur, and find a way back to the present in this legendary story of Scooby Doo in King Arthur's Court. REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
