"Pat Jackson started his career as a film-maker as a messenger in the GPO Film Unit headed by John Grierson. He worked there with Harry Watt on the celebrated Night Mail, with which Watt took documentary into the realms of drama: the story documentary came into being. Later, Jackson was asked to make a film about the Battle of the Atlantic, which became Western Approaches, the most ambitious film of the story documentary genre and the first to be made in Technicolor. Jackson wrote, directed, cast and edited the film, working in the bizarre conditions of a major battle zone from a lifeboat into which had to be put 'two arc lamps, a Technicolor camera about the size of a fridge, 23 seamen, a continuity girl and a film crew of seven.'"--BOOK JACKET.

This fascinating memoir is a unique contribution to the history of film and cinema. At its center is the story of the making of the British film classic Western Approaches, the first story documentary in Technicolor, totally enacted by amateurs. Nominated for an Oscar, it has influenced and inspired film-making to this day. Acclaimed a masterpiece when it was released in December 1944, fifty years later Philip French wrote in The Observer: "It remains a milestone in our cinema and an exciting, vibrant cinematic experience."

“A book about a time-traveling app? I’m in! Jen Calonita strikes again with a coming-of-age middle grade full of wit and a little bit of magic. “ —Sarah Mlynowski, New York Times bestselling author of the Whatever After and Upside Down Magic series "A brilliant friendship story that champions kindness, resilience and the courage to challenge long held expectations - both of others and of yourself." --Lauren Myracle, co-author of the New York Times best-selling Upside-Down Magic series You can retake your photos...but what if could redo moments in your life too? With one magical app, Zoe is able to do just that! A smart and funny twist on time travel from New York Times bestselling author Jen Calonita, for fans for Disney's Zapped and The Swap. Zoe knows that the only thing harder than middle school is losing a best friend. She and Laura used to do everything together from taking silly selfies, to joining all the same clubs together and even throwing surprise birthday parties for one another. But lately things have been weird between them. Now Laura will post a photo of her hanging out with other girls before responding to Zoe's simple text. She doesn't even want to sit with her at lunch anymore. Zoe is heartbroken--all she wants is for things to go back to normal. But then a magical app downloads on her phone...and things get even weirder! Suddenly Zoe can travel back in time to moments where her and Laura started drifting apart. It is like a dream come true. A chance for Zoe to mend their friendship. But as Zoe goes back to moments of middle school drama--sleepover games gone wrong, field trips with cliques and crushes, and school projects that bring on more-than-awkward encounters--she realizes that second chances don't always go as planned and that sometimes you need to trust the magic of new beginnings. The Retake is a picture-perfect look at tween friendship, that also explores more serious themes of social media pressure, bullying and what it means to be yourself. "Jen Calonita puts a magical spin on all-to-real middle school drama. Warm, witty and wise, The Retakeis for anyone who has broken up with a best friend and wished they could go back to the way it used to be."—Megan McCaferty, author of True to Your Selfie and Jessica Darling’s It List series "As addictive as your favorite app, you won't be able to put it down." - Stacy McAnulty, the author of The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl
