The Brekka Age Gap Isn’t as Bad as You Think, Michael Grant Just Can’t Write Consistently

First of all, Brianna Berenson is not twelve years old. In Gone, Quinn asks Brianna [paraphrasing because I don’t have the book on hand] “aren’t you like, eleven?” and Brianna answers “I’m twelve, and I turn thirteen for a month”. There’s a three month timeskip between Gone and Hunger, so Brianna is canonically thirteen years old from Hunger onward, the majority of the series. So why does it say she’s twelve? Most likely because Michael Grant forgot. BUT I DIDN’T.

Secondly, Dekka Talent probably isn’t fifteen. My proof? The main conflict of the first and third book revolves around the Poof, the Big One-Five. One would think that if Dekka, one of our most prominent characters, had a birthday coming up, it would mention it (granted, I dont think we hear about Astrid’s 15th either, so take this with a grain of salt). Also, the books straight up never (or only toward the end, I’m not 100% sure) state her age directly, and statistically speaking, it’s far more likely she’s fourteen/turned fifteen during the later stages of the FAYZ.

So instead of Brekka being about a fifteen year old having a crush on a twelve year old, it’s about a fourteen/just-barely-fifteen year old having a crush on a thirteen year old. Do with that what you will.

[Image ID: A screenshot of a Facebook post from Weisenback Farm. The post is a photo of two 5 gallon jugs of distilled white vinegar; one is 4% acidity, one is 5% acidity. The caption reads: Just a little warning for all those who are canning pickles or anything using vinegar. This year you cannot just grab a plastic jar of vinegar or even pickling vinegar without checking the label. Safe pickling requires 5% acidity… for the first time we are seeing 4% acidity vinegar… on the shelves. That renders anything pickled in the 4% NOT shelf stable. I belong to several canning FB pages where everyone is warning… for the first time ever… to check those labels or you could be throwing out many jars of unsafe pickled vegetables. End ID]

The National Center for Home Food Preservation issued this letter on July 14, 2023 warning people

They recommend that anything you have canned in the past 24 hours using 4% vinegar be stored in the fridge, and anything that was canned more than 24 hours ago using 4% vinegar be discarded.

Now thats a bunch of bullshit on the corporate end

This is a friendly reminder to never, ever publish your book with a publishing company that charges you to publish with them. That is a vanity press, which makes money by preying on authors. They charge you for editing, formatting, cover art, and more. With most of these companies, you will never seen a cent of any royalties made from sale of your book. A legitimate publishing company only makes money when you make money, they will never charge you to publish with them. If a company approaches you and says “Hey, we’ll publish your book, just pay us X amount of money,” tell them to go fuck themself and block them.
