The Yearbook

Product Information

Her feelings over the joy of finally being seen are painfully beautiful to read, the friendship that follows just so so joyful. Then between the pages of an annotated book she finds an ally and a voice of her own, maybe just making it through isn’t enough.

The Yearbook of the United Nations—published by the Department of Global Communications—stands as the authoritative reference work on the activities and concerns of the Organization. Holly Bourne answers our questions about her novel The Yearbook (Usborne), following Paige as she gains the courage to stand up for herself at school and at home, which has been shortlisted for the YA Book Prize 2022. 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.

I liked the idea of breaking up this mixtape with poetry because it's really nice to have a moment where the words can just completely shine through," she says. It touches on some really important topics, that can effect people of all ages; the affect of toxic people on our feelings about our self and out self worth. Respectful, constructive disagreement is welcome, but comments made to provoke others, be malicious, or distract from the purpose of this site will be removed. Impeccably written, easy to relate to and with fantastic characters that are just so real, I made my way through this in half a day because I couldn’t put it down. A movie that will bring you back to the early 2000 and the deep connection between Phob and Nut when the two of them promised to follow their dreams together.

And I had this idea of comparing the desire to be with someone—and the dream or illusion that you have of someone—with the American dream, which is something that people also have such preconceived notions about. These books contain a color section common to all books published that year, with a specific black and white section added for each recruit division and their "brother" or "sister" division.We know from the blurb and the foreword to the start of the book that is a foreword to the yearbook that Paige will end up changing the yearbook as the editor, but this is mostly dealt with in the last 5% of the book. Now Grace and friends have picked their best high-school moments for Paige to put in the all-important Yearbook. There are several mystery boxes which contains items cheaper then the yearbook and some items that have not yet made it into the yearbook. There’s a reason why books set in secondary or high schools work: everyone can pretty much identify with at least one of the characters. Major events covered include Matric Farewell Dances (equivalent to Senior Prom in the US), annual sporting events (such as Inter-schools where several schools assemble and compete in various sports as well as with dance routines in competition for spirit awards, etc.

Mean Girls meets To All The Boys I've Loved Before in this hugely relatable high-school takedown from the queen of UKYA.Paige tries to live her life under the radar; unnoticed by anyone at school, at home and at the one club she attends. The history of the Yearbookis itself representative of thehistory of the United Nations, from the First General Assembly of representatives of 51 Member States held in 1946until the Organization today made up of 193 Member States.

After a fairly slow start that had me unsure if this was quite what I expected, the story finds its stride and culminates in a positive message that will inspire hope (even if it might not seem wholly credible).

The description was kind of misleading because only a small portion of the book was dedicated to Paige standing up to the bullies, however it was still a really good book and I enjoyed it a lot. At the same time Paige decides to release her feelings about her complex life by pencilling in the phrase "I exist" in the margins of a library book.
