Sinopse

In "The Fortunes of Philippa," Angela Brazil weaves a rich tapestry of early 20th-century adolescent struggles and socio-cultural expectations through the lens of its spirited protagonist, Philippa. The narrative is characterized by Brazil's hallmark blend of episodic storytelling and vivid characterizations, often set against the backdrop of English boarding schools. Philippines's journey towards self-discovery is expertly interwoven with themes of friendship, ambition, and the tension between individual desire and societal norms, rendering a poignant examination of girls' education during a transformative period in British literary history. Angela Brazil, a pioneer of the school story genre, drew upon her own experiences as an educator and the socio-political climate of her time. Her passionate advocacy for the education of girls and her keen awareness of their burgeoning roles in society profoundly shaped her storytelling. Brazil's oeuvre, particularly in the early 1900s, resonates with the burgeoning feminist movement, as she deftly captures the aspirations and challenges faced by young women. This delightful work is highly recommended for readers interested in early feminist literature and the evolution of young adult fiction. Brazil's engaging narrative style invites readers to empathize with Philippa's plight, making it a timeless exploration of personal growth that remains relevant to contemporary audiences.

Nell is not happy about spending her school vacation with relatives she doesn't know. Expecting nothing more than silly little cousins and boring farm life, she sneaks along a special suitcase that once belonged to her father. In it, she knows, are the parts of a music box and sixteen miniature painted horses, and she thinks maybe she can fit them all back together. 
But the countryside has unexpected surprises. When a half-wild and mysterious girl named Angel steals Nell's suitcase, the two girls are united in an adventure of Angel's devising. Nighttime meetings and a horse that might just be magical pique Nell's curiosity, and soon she may find a way to put together the mystery of who Angel truly is, understand the legends about the herd of a hundred horses, and also discover something special about herself. 
Sarah Lean, acclaimed author of A Dog Called Homeless, explores the power of friendship, family, and the truth of belonging in this tale with a touch of magic about two girls, an old farm, and the most special of a hundred horses.

From the celebrated author of Sarah, Plain and Tall, Patricia MacLachlan, comes another humorous and poignant early middle grade novel. My Life Begins! explores how life begins for Jacob when his triplet sisters are born, and how siblings get to know each other as time, and love, evolve. 
Jacob is nine years old when his life changes. 
He wants a litter of puppies. But instead his parents have a different surprise. Jacob will be an older brother soon. And there won’t be only one new baby. There will be three! When the triplets are born, Jacob thinks puppies are cuter. The babies look identical to him and he gives them a name: “the Trips.” 
For a school science project, Jacob decides to study the Trips. It feels like magic as they begin to smile, talk, and grow. Slowly, he gets to know each of them. They call his mother “Mama” and his father “Da.” But what will they call him? One day, one of the Trips calls him “Jay.” 
As each of the triplets become unique and more special with each day, Jacob starts to wonder if “the Trips” is still a good name for them. They aren’t puppies, or a bunch of bananas, and they aren’t just “the Trips” anymore. What should he call them that will show what they mean to him? Can he figure out their “forever name?” And will he ever get a puppy?
