The Yearbook

Product Information

The brilliant Holly Bourne exposes the dramas, traumas and tyranny of secondary school life in this sharply funny and wholly relatable new novel. Paige is a Year 11 student who enjoys working on the school newspaper and spending her time in the safe haven of the school library, with the friendly Ms Gordon. Based on official UN documents, the Yearbookprovides comprehensive coverage of political and security matters, human rights issues, economic and social questions, legal issues, and institutional, administrative and budgetary matters. These pages are sometimes designed by the seniors themselves, with each senior submitting a digital or physical version of the page they would like featured in the book.

In South Africa, it is not as common to find yearbooks in schools as it is in countries such as the US and Canada, though several schools allocate annual funding and publish yearbooks at the end of the school year (November or December). I started writing it after a really crazy night out in East London, when I was honestly so hung over. As Paige’s family life disintegrates, she realises that the infiltrators steering the yearbook are re-writing history. In 2019 Forever Connected rebranded as FC Yearbook and began offering their platform directly to schools. This is evidenced, for example, by the initial appearance ofand then increasing number of referencesin the Yearbookover timetosubjects such asclimate change, peacekeeping, sustainability, and women’s rights and gender equality, among many others.I'll be recommending The Yearbook to all of my YA readers, and will look forward to the conversations that will inevitably follow from their reading of it. It seems that they are planning to release the series as a movie: this could be the occasion for fixing some evident problems, such as the excessive use of flashbacks. Halloween Parade • Rock on With The Disney Villains • Scream and Shout Halloween Parade • The Villains World • Villains Night Out! As an exceptional singular publication, the commemorative Special Edition:UN Fiftieth Anniversary 1945-1995(The Hague/Boston/London 1995)of the Yearbook,through a combination of excerpts from past editions and newly written narrative,highlights milestones in the first 50 years of United Nations history,and gives an outlook on potential future developments based on international consensus of the time. Paige is used to being a non-entity at school and at home, she gets on with her life trying not to draw attention to herself.

Paige has also done her best to progress through school without being noticed, to keep herself similarly 'safe', and spends her lunchtimes in the library, reading books that transport her to other places. The demographics and dynamics of Year 11 in The Yearbook are pitch perfect and while the cruelty of the popular crowd is painful to read at times, there is much comfort for those young people who find themselves in a similar position to Paige. Originally we were going to outro ‘Dover Beach’ with the piano sound you hear here, but I remember saying: 'This feels like something else; I think there's room for another story here.Feeling utterly alone in a world where everyone seems to be so fake they might as well be made out of wax. Thestructure andsubject matter of the Yearbookhaveevolved with the values and concerns of the international community, and its willingness to engage collectively inmaintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among countriesand promoting social progress, better living standards and human rights. In the UK and other countries, where yearbooks often only cover the final year group and not the entire school, each student may have more space for answers to various questions as well as their photo (or photos). This being her 10th YA novel, you wonder what else she can do to push the boundaries and make me emotionally invested like her past novels.

In 2021 FC Yearbook accommodated remote and in-person student signatures and offered a print edition with the digital signatures printed in the book, as a direct-to-home offer.This is the second episode to feature Hercules in his muscular appearance since " Hercules and the Tapestry of Fate". Today, virtually all yearbooks are published using computers, which allows for shorter deadlines and easier editing. At least Paige has the school newspaper to keep her occupied - until it’s hijacked by malicious narcissists from the official Leavers’ Committee who want to create a yearbook. I find a particular item that I want and refresh until I come back around to it, and then see if I’m willing to settle for any of the other prizes just in case I don’t get what I want.
