Summary

This edition includes the following editor's introduction: Daniel Defoe beyond Robinson Crusoe


First published in 1719, “The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe” is a novel by English writer Daniel Defoe that saw the light of day under the considerably longer original title: “The Farther Adventures of Robinson Crusoe; Being the Second and Last Part of His Life, And of the Strange Surprising Accounts of his Travels Round three Parts of the Globe.”
Like its significantly more popular predecessor published also in 1719, “Robinson Crusoe” (AKA “The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe”), the first edition credits the work's fictional protagonist Robinson Crusoe as its author.
The story is speculated to be partially based on Moscow embassy secretary Adam Brand's journal detailing the embassy's journey from Moscow to Peking from 1693 to 1695.

“The Further Adventures of Robinson Crusoe” starts with the statement about Crusoe's marriage in England. He bought a little farm in Bedford and had three children: two sons and one daughter. Our hero suffered a distemper and a desire to see "his island." He could talk of nothing else, and one can imagine that no one took his stories seriously, except his wife. She told him, in tears, "I will go with you, but I won't leave you." But in the middle of this felicity, Providence unhinged him at once, with the loss of his wife...

    "A riveting, courage-filled story." - Kirkus Starred Reviews 
 
Hope in the Valley, from National Book Award Nominee Mitali Perkins, is a middle-grade novel exploring grief, friendship, family, and growing up in a community facing a housing crisis. 
 
Twelve-year-old Indian-American Pandita Paul doesn't like change. She's not ready to start middle school and leave the comforts of childhood behind. Most of all, Pandita doesn't want to feel like she's leaving her mother, who died a few years ago, behind. After a falling out with her best friend, Pandita is planning to spend most of her summer break reading and writing in her favorite secret space: the abandoned but majestic mansion across the street. 
 
But then the unthinkable happens. The town announces that the old home will be bulldozed in favor of new—maybe affordable—housing. With her family on opposing sides of the issue, Pandita must find her voice—and the strength to move on—in order to give her community hope.
