The Last Firefox (The Last Firefox, 1)

Product Information

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!) Ostensibly it’s the story of a little boy, Charlie, who wants to be more brave. He can’t stand up to his bullies and wants to be able to look after the new sibling his parents are preparing for.

Then a magical door to another world brings him a Firefox which is under threat from a bad king and a monstrous shape-shifting beast. To keep the fox cub safe, Charlie must keep him a secret. But that's easier said than done when it has a tendency to burst into flames, with chaotic consequences. Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) is now available to Firefox users, delivering a more private browsing experience. ECH extends the encryption used in TLS connections to cover more of the handshake and better protect sensitive fields. Read more about the launch of ECH on Mozilla Distilled. His first book, The Last Firefox, was Waterstones Children's Book of the Month and shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize 2023.The illustrations were super cute too, and for once this eARC was formatted properly for Kindle so the illustrations showed up as they should Honestly, this was THE BEST formatted ARC I have ever read on my Kindle. I was so happy that I could actually toggle between chapters with my Kindle button like a normal book! It's a small thing, but helps so much with the reading experience so I can properly appreciate Newbery and Catalan's hard work. I felt a great sense of nostalgia reading this book. I’m not sure why, but this book reminded me of the CBBC after-school shows that I used to watch – in the best possible way – envisaging all the escapades Charlie and friends would get up to as they strove to keep Cadno a secret and safe from those that would hunt him down and treat him like a plaything. The Queer rep in here was done so well in my opinion. I really like in books where the rep is just discussed as part of every day life. Charlie has two dads and that's just how it is. Queer rep doesn't always have to be someone being bullied or hiding who they are etc. This.. to me just shows that you can have rep in a book and it can be happy rep.(if that makes sense) 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 . . .

Through Section 28, the Thatcher government took away the chance for me to feel normal, and not alone in my feelings. I always tear up when I realise children today don’t have to go through that. By existing the book makes me happy. Charlie Challinor has recently become the guardian of a furry fox cub called Cadno. But Cadno isn’t just any fox; he’s a firefox! And the only one of his kind. An evil hunter from another world is looking for Cadno, and so it’s up to Charlie to be brave and protect his new friend… I really enjoyed reading Charlie's story, it was exactly the kind of story I needed at this age as he was so very much like me. I was also the quiet one at school, who was bullied relentlessly, largely for being the 'weird' quiet one. It was so good to see Charlie learn to stand up proud, and to listen to his inner fire rather than the voices of the petty boys with nothing better to do. I know how much it would have meant to me to read this as a youngster, and so I'm sure it'll do wonders for readers in similar positions. Gradually rolling out in Fx119, Firefox now allows you to edit PDFs by adding images and alt text, in addition to text and drawings. He said he loved the ending, and now wants his own Firefox! He did decide that the Firefox can't play video games though as he would get angry or excited and set it on fire.

Features

I have to do my best not to just gush for the whole review of The Last Firefox by debut author Lee Newbery. Windows 10 may show you a warning when installing apps that aren't from the Microsoft store. See Windows 10 warns me to use a "Microsoft-verified" app for more information. 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. Newbery excels in the execution. His writing is accessible for the target age - very visual, the dialogue is pitched well, and the three young characters friendship is beautifully drawn.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! Okay, so, this is a beautiful story that follows Charlie and his quest to find his inner fire to not only face his bullies but to be the best big brother to his new brother or sister his Dads hopes to adopt.
