Synopsis

In "A Little Maid of Old Maine," Alice Turner Curtis crafts a charming tale set in the early 18th century, vividly portraying the life of a young girl navigating the complexities of colonial New England. Through rich, descriptive prose and carefully researched historical detail, Curtis immerses readers in the landscape, customs, and challenges of the time, emphasizing themes of resilience and familial loyalty. The narrative is peppered with engaging dialogue and vibrant characters that bring to life the unique cultural nuances of Maine, showcasing both the beauty and struggles faced by its early settlers. Alice Turner Curtis, an acclaimed author of children's literature in the early 20th century, drew inspiration from her own heritage and the stories of her ancestors. Born in 1868 in Maine, Curtis possessed a deep-rooted connection to the region, which undoubtedly informed her depiction of its historical context and character. Her background as an educator also shines through in her ability to intertwine adventure and moral lessons, making her work both entertaining and enriching for young readers. "A Little Maid of Old Maine" is a treasure that invites readers to explore the past through the eyes of a spirited young girl. I recommend this book for anyone seeking a blend of adventure, history, and heartwarming storytelling, perfect for young readers and those young at heart.

Today’s world revolves around the internet, social media, and cell phones. What you see on the internet is personalized from information collected about you. Just about everything encountered affects who we are. You decide if something has a big impact, little impact, or no impact, and how.

The storm had been brewing for weeks.
When I look back and remember those days of dripping rain, the thick grey cloud blanketing the sky, the rolling thunder, I wonder how we didn't see it coming. We didn't realise it was building into something.
Back then, we just thought it was stormy weather. We had no idea what lay ahead.
We couldn't ever have imagined how it would engulf us.
Mali, Jonesey, Fara and Petey are reluctantly gathered in the library. They're not friends and they each have reasons they don't want to be there. As the rain starts, they do not bond as a group. Mali does not engage, Jonesy takes offence, Petey ridicules the others, Fara is silent, and their teacher Ms Devine is distracted. Outside, the bad weather steadily worsens. Soon they are trapped in the school, and pulling together may be the only way out when the storm begins.
