Description

This book made me smile and laugh a lot. It delivers beautiful messages in such a delightful and easily accessible way with the cutest illustrations that add to the magic of this fantastic story. Several enhancements have been made to the Inactive CSS styles feature. This feature assists in identifying CSS properties that have no effect on an element. Pseudo-elements such as ::first-letter, ::cue, and ::placeholder are now fully supported. Between bullies at school and changes at home, Charlie Challinor finds life a bit scary. And when he's made guardian of a furry fox cub called Cadno, things get a whole lot scarier.

Yes, there is peril, a hideous monster and bullies, but it always feels as if it will work out in the end. All the pieces of an exciting adventure are here; two loyal friends, a sprinkling of magic, a very cute animal, a tense denouement. All of this is wrapped up with wonderful illustrations from Laura Catalan, which bring the story to life, topped off with a beautiful cover. Recently closed tabs now persist between sessions that don't have automatic session restore enabled. Manually restoring a previous session will continue to reopen any previously open tabs or windows.Onto Cadno - what a scene stealer. Completely adorable from the tips of his ears to the end of his tail, in physical appearance, personality and behaviour. He's so brave and affectionate. If you like animals I'd definitely recommend this book! I really enjoyed reading the bonds between characters: family, friends and of course between Charlie and Cadno. I also loved how Charlie having two dads was so positively normalised - I'm glad children (and anyone reading children's books) now get to read stories like these! It's so important for us to see positive, casual representation of different families. The friendships were all so funny and sweet, and I loved how they stood up for each other against bullies and beasts. It made me nostalgic for chilled hangouts with friends and their pets - though of course none were little fireballs like Cadno!

The Last Firefox by Lee Newberry is a tremendous book indeed and today I feel the need to exalt its existence. Most readers can empathise with the anxieties of childhood. Charlie is on the cusp of a new world – he’s about to start high school and his dads plan to adopt another child and he doesn’t know if he’s confident enough to be an older brother (this isn’t forgetting his bullies, who reminded me of Bulk & Skull and I wouldn’t have mind seeing chased by geese) – when someone from another world arrives and Charlie finds himself caring for Cadno, the last firefox of the book’s title. This book was really funny too from the very first line, with distinct characters, a well-paced and believable plot, and I could really feel the action scenes too (the train!! The castle scene!! My heart!!). I also found it so funny that one of Charlie's dads is a firefighter and it made for some great humour and plot points. The penny-cog red herring-ed me a bit, and because I was tense about it, that made it even creepier to watch how the clues about the antagonist gradually build up. Based on our research, we found out that more than half of you have 4+ tabs open all the time, and some of you have more, a lot more. And we feel that! Tab as much as you like, friends. Tabs got a makeover so they are now gently curved and float above the toolbar. It's an exciting change that also serves as a reminder that tabs aren't stationary. So grab those tabs, move them around and organize them as you like. Tabs also got a glow-up to be a touch brighter when active. Charlie's Dads provide some fantastic gay rep too: wonderful, loving parents whose main role here is - as with so many of these adventures - to make hiding a magical whirlwind of mayhem that bit harder. Including adoptive parents (who are planning to adopt again) also allows for a VERY fun social worker subplot, which ties into the main adventure in the most unexpected way!

Before going to London and seeing this book in multiple bookstores (where I bought myself a copy without even reading the plot, because it was too cute), I’d never heard about this title, but I am glad we stumbled upon it by chance and decided to triddy read it this month. Choose a 32-bit installer for computers with 32-bit processors — or for older or less powerful computers. If you aren’t sure whether to choose a 64-bit or 32-bit installer, we recommend you go with 32-bit. The fantasy elements were done well, with the world of Fargone built just enough to make sense but without overwhelming the main plot set in regular real-world Wales. I did want to know more about Teg, as he shows up so briefly but his role is so integral to the story. (A Teg/Fargone spin-off sequel? I'm intrigued by the world!)The pre-alpha version for power users who like to hunt crashes and test new features as they’re coded. Charlie must search his soul and overcome his fears if he's to succeed in his mission. But sometimes everyone needs a little help from their friends. Another issue I had with the book was that the writing style was way too simple and repetitive. There were a couple of ideas, sentences and even scenes that felt redundant, and it made me bored after the first two or three times. However, as I was saying before, the general plot wasn’t bad, and that was what made me keep going nevertheless. Lee Newbery gives us an enchanting fantasy adventure as warm as a firefox's tail. Heart and humour abound in this fun, fast-paced story of how a boy finds inner strength by helping a magical creature. A joyous gem!' Lesley Parr, author of The Valley of Lost Secrets

As an adult this book wasn't aimed at me, so I asked my brother (the 9 year old I read it with) for his rating! Swept up into an unexpected adventure to protect his flammable friend, Charlie's going to need to find the bravery he never thought he had, if he's going to save the last firefox . . .I've seen The Last Firefox described as Pokémon meets E.T. - and that's exactly how this enchanting middle grade adventure felt to me! Lee Newbery's tale of a sweet-but-insecure schoolboy finding his own inner fire when he's tasked with taking care of an adorable, magical troublemaker (who just happens to be The Last Firefox) is a huge-hearted and often hilarious romp reminiscent of the best Amblin adventure movies of my own childhood. Before installing Firefox, see the Firefox System Requirements to make sure that your computer has the required operating system and recommended hardware.
