Synopsis

In "Kitty's Class Day and Other Stories," Louisa May Alcott presents a collection that showcases her mastery in weaving moral narratives with a nuanced understanding of childhood experiences. Written during the late 19th century, these stories reflect the societal norms and expectations of the era, intertwining themes of education, personal growth, and the trials of young girls navigating their formative years. Alcott employs a delightful blend of realism and sentimentality, drawing readers into the world of her characters with engaging prose and vivid illustrations, making the collection appealing to both children and adults alike. Louisa May Alcott, celebrated for her pioneering feminist stance in literature, crafted this collection during a time when women's voices were often muted. Her own experiences growing up in a progressive household and her involvement in the abolitionist movement deeply influenced her writing. Alcott's commitment to depicting the struggles and triumphs of women and children is evident in these stories, allowing her to offer a unique perspective that resonates with readers seeking to understand the complexities of personal identity and societal expectations. This collection is an essential read for anyone interested in the evolution of children's literature and women's contributions to the literary canon. Alcott's insights into the realities of youth echo through time, making these narratives relevant even today. "Kitty's Class Day and Other Stories" is not just a historical artifact but a celebration of resilience and the joys of childhood, inviting readers to ponder their own journeys.

    “The Broken Path: Native Tribes and the Tragedy of the Trail of Tears” delves into one of the darkest chapters in American history, documenting the harrowing experiences of Southeastern Native American tribes during the forced relocations known as the Trail of Tears. This book offers a poignant exploration of the devastating consequences of U.S. government policies that sought to remove Indigenous peoples from their ancestral lands. Through the lens of selected tribes, whose fates, though varied, were marked by equal suffering, the narrative reveals the inhumane reality of manifest destiny.  
    This doctrine drove the relentless expansion of white settlers across the continent. Despite efforts by Native Americans to resist through legal battles and armed conflict, their struggle was tragically futile against the overwhelming forces of displacement. This powerful account underscores the enduring impact of this tragic era on the Indigenous populations of America.

    From Gordon Korman, the New York Times bestselling author of Restart, comes a hilarious new story about a group of underdogs who come together when they are forced to attend summer school—for failing PE. 
    Yash is the best athlete at Robinette Middle School—so good, in fact, that he’s already playing on the high school’s JV sports teams. Imagine his shock when he learns that his JV practices have kept him from earning a state-mandated credit for eighth-grade PE. To graduate, he has to take Physical Education Equivalency—PEE, also known as “Slugfest”—in summer school. 
    Yash gets to know his fellow “slugs”: Kaden, an academic superstar who’s physically hopeless; twins Sarah and Stewart, who are too busy trying to kill each other to do any real PE; Jesse, a notorious prankster; Arabella, who protests everything; and Cleo, a natural athlete who has sworn off sports. 
    But when one of them tries to blow the lid off a scandal that could make all their time in summer school a waste, Yash is forced to take drastic action. 
    Teaming up with the most hapless crew in school can really surprise a person. And their teacher might be hiding the biggest surprise yet. . . .
