Synopsis

In "The Jolliest Term on Record," Angela Brazil crafts a delightful narrative set within the familiar confines of a British girls' school, capturing the vibrant experiences of adolescent friendship, rivalry, and growth. Utilizing a light-hearted yet deeply engaging prose style, Brazil weaves humor and warmth through the lives of her characters, deftly blending elements of adventure with social commentary. The novel's context aligns with the burgeoning genre of school stories, reflecting early 20th-century societal norms and the burgeoning independence of young women, making it both a reflective and entertaining read for its era. Angela Brazil, a pioneering figure in the genre of girls' literature, drew upon her own experiences in boarding schools to inform her writing. Born in the late 19th century, Brazil's passion for fostering a sense of camaraderie and resilience among girls is evident in her works. Her dedication to portraying young women as dynamic, capable individuals reveals her progressive outlook and mirrors the shifting cultural landscape of her time, where women began asserting their roles beyond traditional expectations. "The Jolliest Term on Record" is highly recommended for readers seeking both nostalgia and inspiration, as it celebrates friendship, adventure, and the indomitable spirit of youth. Brazil's nuanced portrayal of her characters will resonate with anyone who cherishes the transformative power of school life and the bonds formed therein. This novel serves as a charming reminder of the joys and trials of adolescence, making it an enduring classic.

    *** 2014 Winner Bronze Moonbeam Award: Best Chapter Book Series *** Tucker Thompson is just an ordinary 8th grader from Detroit, Michigan. He loves school and baseball. Everything seems great for the left-handed pitcher with a big, breaking curveball.  That is, until one dreadful event changes his life. Tucker learns that his parents are getting divorced. If that wasn’t bad enough, his mom is making a move. He will be forced to attend a new school, across town in the inner city of Detroit.  Struggling to handle his anger, Tucker does the only thing he can think of to get his parent’s attention: cause trouble. Not everyone at his new school finds him entertaining, especially the principal, Mr. David. After pulling off the prank of the century, Tucker gets kicked out of school and shipped off to live with his Uncle Ed and Aunt Loretta in a remote area of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  The U.P. is a far cry from the concrete jungle of Detroit. But Tucker quickly realizes there is something magical and mysterious about Uncle Ed’s place. He is warned early and often by his uncle to never venture into the West Woods.  But why? Is Uncle Ed hiding something? One day, Tucker discovers a creepy, old sign—one final warning of danger. What he finds hidden in the woods will change his life forever!
