Principle means having a choice, a say, an understanding of reality to let thyself be governed by an explicit or implicit authority, directly or indirectly. And objectivity requires principles and not some arbitrary rules. Human beings can't survive on impulses alone in the long run they need objective standards to set their life choices against. Rules were made to be broken, especially when these rules were created by a few to control the majority. Thy hilarious kingdom cometh - A review of the novel 'Noddy In Wonderland' Believe me this one creeps into your thoughts and into your heart and won't let go long after the story ends. Written for ten and up I highly recommend for preteen, teen and adult as this one is so special there is something here for everyone. I love the escape that Chirp creates in like a bird she makes a nest in her room that I am sure all can relate to as even adults want to escape from the problems of the world. Wanting to take their pain away and give them that carefree childhood once again. I was carried away to childhood once again- living it through the eyes of Chirp and Joey. Ehrlich's debut novel is so movingly beautiful but sad as proof that childhood is not always easy.
Joey is the abused boy who lives across the street and as problems seem to surround their lives it turns out the two need each other. I loved the friendship between Chirp and Joey.
