Sinossi

In "Two Little Women," Carolyn Wells crafts a charming tale that explores the intricate friendship between two young girls, highlighting themes of loyalty, adventure, and the formative experiences of youth. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, Wells employs a whimsical yet poignant literary style, characterized by straightforward prose and vivid descriptions that bring the characters and their world to life. The narrative encapsulates the societal expectations of the time while allowing readers to experience deeper emotional undercurrents, ultimately challenging the norms surrounding girlhood and camaraderie. Carolyn Wells was not only a prolific author but also a poet and a mystery writer, known for her keen observations of human behavior and social structures. Her background in newspapers and literary circles provided her with unique insights into the era's cultural dynamics. Drawing from her own childhood experiences and understanding of friendship dynamics among young girls, Wells imbues the narrative with authenticity and emotional depth, making her characters resonate strongly with readers of all ages. I highly recommend "Two Little Women" to anyone interested in classic children's literature and the nuanced portrayal of friendship. This book serves as both an enjoyable read and a historical reflection, offering timeless lessons about loyalty and resilience that are still relevant today.

Don't open the box, warned the old man.
But Charlie can't help himself...
Fourteen-year-old London schoolboy Charlie has been looking forward to playing football with his mates in the Christmas holidays. Instead, he is packed off to the wilds of the East Anglian coast to stay with an uncle he barely knows.
It's going to be a tough week. Uncle Patrick's ramshackle house doesn't have wi-fi, his daughter Ariel seems determined to be vile – and who are the mysterious children laughing after dark in the empty bedroom next to Charlie's?
When Charlie finds an ancient brass box buried on the beach, he unleashes a chilling sequence of events. At least these bring him and his grumpy cousin together, as the pair battle to solve the mystery of the 'box of souls' and re-capture the violent ghostly presence wreaking havoc around the town.
A stirring spine-chiller, Ghost Tide is a spooky, unforgettable tale of restless spirits and youthful heroism.
