Beschreibung

Set against the backdrop of Victorian society, "The School-Girls in Number 40; or, Principle Put to the Test" explores the dynamics of gender, education, and social expectations through the lens of a group of schoolgirls navigating moral dilemmas and personal growth. Written in an engaging narrative style infused with wit and earnestness, the book employs an epistolary format that allows for differing perspectives, highlighting the complexities of youthful innocence and the pressures imposed by societal norms. The author skillfully juxtaposes individual aspirations against the rigid framework of traditional education, making this work a critical examination of 19th-century pedagogical ideals. The author, whose identity remains anonymous, cleverly positions this narrative within the larger context of women's literature and the burgeoning discourse on female empowerment during the Victorian era. Likely inspired by personal experiences and the challenges faced by women of the time, the author captures the essence of youthful rebellion and the yearning for autonomy, contributing to the broader movement for women's rights and education. Their anonymity may also speak to the constraints imposed on women writers of the period. "The School-Girls in Number 40" is a vital read for those interested in feminist literature, history, and education. Its timeless themes and relatable characters resonate with contemporary readers, making it not only a historical artifact but also a compelling narrative that continues to ignite discussions around gender and moral agency.

Have you ever been the best at something . . . only to lose it all? 
 
 
 
Luz Véliz is a soccer star—or rather, she was a soccer star. With her serious knee injury, it's unlikely she'll be back on the field anytime soon. But without soccer, who is she? Even her dad treats her differently now—like he doesn't know her or, worse, like he doesn't even like her. When Luz discovers she has a knack for coding, it feels like a lifeline to a better self. If she can just ace the May Showcase, she'll not only skip a level in her coding courses and impress Ms. Freeman and intriguing, brilliant Trevor—she'll have her parents cheering her on from the sidelines, just the way she likes it. 
 
 
 
But something—someone—is about to enter the Vélizes' life. And when Solana arrives, nothing will be the same, ever again. 
 
 
 
Unforgettable characters, family drama, and dauntless determination illuminate Luz's journey as she summons her inner strength and learns to accept others and embrace the enduring connection of family. Through it all, Luz's light is a constant—a guide for others, a path forward through the dark, and an ineffable celebration of her own eternal self.

From the Edgar Award nominated author of What Happened to Rachel Riley? comes an engrossing, timely, and propulsive story of two girls in Paris—one living under Nazi rule in the 1940s; the other in present day—and the mysterious painting that unites them. Perfect for fans of The Bletchley Riddle and When We Flew Away.  
Paris, present day. Penny Marks has never felt so alone. Forced to move to France for some fancy job her mom couldn’t turn down, she’s now miles away from her old life. If she hadn’t quit art after all that drama went down last year, she’d at least have something to keep her mind off the fact that life back home is moving on without her. 
Paris, 1943. Marie Bonnet has never felt so afraid. When the German army seized power over France, she and her sister Heloise watched their father get taken away, leaving them on their own. Then Marie finds evidence that Heloise has secretly been working for the French Resistance—a group of rebels determined to take the Nazis down—and while it has danger written all over it, she's desperate to join. Any small act of uprising could help their country…but it could also cost them their lives. 
Penny and Marie’s worlds collide when an old painting resurfaces in present-day Paris after decades of being hidden. Along with it is a note whose message may lead Penny to Marie…and the fate that awaited her.
