Julian’s Recent Updates

Bea and the Lake Monster by Julian Cribb
" I’ve seen waves of social issues pass through classrooms. What stays consistent is this: young people want agency.

Bea embodies that. When she decides to strike for the lake, the narrative doesn’t mock her. It takes her seriously.

The quote that staye" Read more of this review »
Bea and the Lake Monster by Julian Cribb
"I’m 17, and honestly, most “eco” books feel preachy. This one didn’t.

The moment Bea says, “If we broke it, we can fix it,” felt simple but powerful. It didn’t feel naive, it felt determined. That matters.

I also liked that the adults weren’t all villa" Read more of this review »
Bea and the Lake Monster by Julian Cribb
"I live in a town not unlike the one in this book.

Reading the council debates felt almost documentary-like. The defensiveness. The resistance to change. The fear of economic loss.

What impressed me most is that the mayor isn’t a villain. He’s cautious." Read more of this review »
Bea and the Lake Monster by Julian Cribb
"I don’t usually read children’s books. I choose this up out of curiosity.

I didn’t expect to be so emotionally affected.

The loneliness of Grimdahl lingered with me. The idea that he destroys because he feels unheard, that hit close to home.

Quotes by Julian Cribb  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“The big question is: will consumers eat biocultured food? The answer, it appears, is that today’s consumers do not know what is in a sausage, a pie, a chicken nugget, a dim sum or a crab stick anyway – and will probably eat it provided the price is right and the food is tasty and safe. In support of this view is the fact that, in the 1950s nobody on Earth wore synthetic fabrics made from petroleum – and today almost everybody does, suggesting that novel technologies can be universally embraced provided they meet consumer needs, wishes and budgets.”
