Synopsis

In "The Young Section-Hand," Burton Egbert Stevenson crafts a compelling narrative that immerses readers in the world of railway labor during the early 20th century. Utilizing a realist literary style, Stevenson paints vivid imagery of the struggles and camaraderie among section hands—a pivotal yet often overlooked workforce in the expansion of America's railroads. The novella combines elements of adventure and romance, reflecting the socio-economic transformations of the era, while offering a nuanced exploration of youthful ambition and the quest for belonging in a rapidly changing landscape. Burton Egbert Stevenson, an esteemed American author and a fervent advocate for the arts, was heavily influenced by his experiences in a swiftly industrializing society. Raised in a small town, he was keenly aware of the stark contrasts between urban and rural life and the people who navigated these spaces. His keen observational skills and empathy for the working class infuse this work with authenticity, as Stevenson aims to elevate the voices of those shaping America's technological progress. I highly recommend "The Young Section-Hand" to readers who appreciate historical fiction that delves into the human spirit's resilience. It serves not only as an engaging tale of personal growth but also as a reflective commentary on the labor movement, making it a vital addition to discussions on early American literature.

    An artful mixture of fantasy and reality, humor and heart, Maya Was Grumpy celebrates the power of imagination and humor to improve moods. Maya wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, tangled in her blanket, and in a crispy, cranky, grumpy, grouchy mood. She doesn't want to read or color or go outside to play. What's worse, she's determined to share her grumpiness with everyone as she glumps, clumps, and thumps around the house. But when Maya growls at her grandmother, Gramma graciously takes Maya's mood in stride, and even has a solution: Gramma suggests a series of unusual activities that Maya will probably not want to do since she's feeling grumpy—and then dismisses her own silly suggestions before Maya can reject them. Children will find it hard to keep from smiling as they watch Maya's grouchiness dissolve into glee at Gramma's giggle-inducing ideas, while adults will find Gramma's clever tactic a useful strategy to add to their repertoire when kids are grumpy.
