Sinopse

In "Ralph on the Midnight Flyer: or, The Wreck at Shadow Valley," Allen Chapman crafts a thrilling narrative that weaves together adventure, ingenuity, and the trials of youth against the backdrop of America's burgeoning railway system in the early 20th century. The novel follows young Ralph as he confronts perilous challenges aboard a midnight freight train that ultimately leads to a catastrophic wreck, thus immersing readers in a fast-paced storyline infused with lively dialogue and vivid descriptions. Chapman's literary style reflects the serialized structure popular during this era, appealing to a generation captivated by the rapid industrialization and the romanticism of the frontier spirit. Allen Chapman, an influential author in the early 1900s, is known for his ability to engage young audiences while providing moral lessons through adventure stories. His personal experiences, including a keen interest in railroads and youth culture, inform the book's themes of courage, friendship, and resilience. Chapman's adept storytelling not only entertains but also serves to instill values in his young readers, resonating with the broader American ideals of the time. I highly recommend "Ralph on the Midnight Flyer" to both young adult readers and nostalgic adults alike. This captivating tale not only delivers an exhilarating experience filled with suspense and adventure but also offers a profound reflection on bravery and the spirit of exploration, making it a valuable addition to the canon of American literature.

    From the author of The Outsiders: This novel about two brothers in a tough world “packs a punch that will leave readers of any age reeling” (School Library Journal).  An ALA Best Book for Young AdultsA School Library Journal Best Book of the Year   Rusty-James wants to be just like his big brother Motorcycle Boy—tough enough to be respected by everyone in the neighborhood. But Motorcycle Boy is also smart, so smart that Rusty-James relies on him to bail him out of trouble. The brothers are inseparable, and Motorcycle Boy will always be there to watch his back, so there's nothing to worry about, right? Or so Rusty-James believes, until his world falls apart and Motorcycle Boy isn't there to pick up the pieces.   An edgy, emotional portrait of a troubled kid trying to navigate the chaotic world around him, Rumble Fish was made into a film by Francis Ford Coppola and has become a modern classic praised by School Library Journal as “stylistically superb” and beloved by multiple generations of readers.   “Hinton knows how to plunge us right into [Rusty-James’s] dead-end mentality—his inability to verbalize much of anything, to come to grips with his anger about his alcoholic father and the mother who deserted him, even his distance from his own feelings.”—Kirkus Reviews

    In the north of Europe, on the top left-hand tip of a country shaped like a butterfly, lies the Livonian coast: a quiet place with wide sandy beaches, wild forests and not very many people at all.
    If you decide to go there yourself and sit on the edge of a forest, you might see some little creatures moving around, smaller than the elks but bigger than the wild boar and badgers…
    Can you spot prickly Spendthrift, desperately trying to impress her friends? Over by that little house is Hare, preparing buttercup tea and crisp golden waffles for his sailor friend (and prisoner) Wolf, who just wants to be back at sea. And that worried-looking fellow hurrying up the hill is Squishbod – he really does have a skeleton in his cupboard…
    Across nine deeply atmospheric and compelling fairytales, Lilija Berzinska follows the desires and anxieties of a community of mysterious creatures in the north of Latvia, gently exploring their preoccupations and suggesting solutions with resonant empathy and wisdom.
    A Skeleton in the Cupboard won the prestigious Latvian Literary Award of the Year (Children's Category) in 2019, with judges noting: 'Lilija Berzinska's tales ooze warmth and sweetness.'
