Sinopse

In "Five Children and It," E. Nesbit crafts a whimsical narrative that deftly blends elements of fantasy and realism, exploring the adventures of five siblings who discover a magical creature known as the Psammead. Written in 1902, this pioneering work of children's literature employs a playful yet insightful literary style that captures the imaginations of both children and adult readers. The novel is enriched with vivid descriptions and witty dialogue, presenting a rich tapestry of childhood innocence, moral lessons, and the complexities of desire and consequence. Nesbit's insightful portrayal of Victorian childhood and family dynamics situates the story within a broader literary context that values imagination while also critiquing societal norms. E. Nesbit, a prominent figure in early children's literature, drew from her own experiences and beliefs in social reform to create engaging narratives that resonate with her audience. Born in 1858, her unconventional upbringing and passionate advocacy for children's rights influenced her writing, imbuing her tales with warmth and authenticity. Recognized as a precursor to modern fantasy literature, Nesbit's storytelling combines adventure with introspection, encouraging young readers to engage with complex themes. "Five Children and It" is a timeless classic that encourages imagination, wonder, and a deep understanding of the human condition. Readers of all ages will find delight in the fantastical escapades of the children, accompanied by the subtle wisdom imparted by their interactions with the Psammead. This enchanting tale invites readers to rediscover their inner child and reflect on the nature of wishes and their unintended consequences.

    “Life is not a balanced concept and stories are predicated in the understanding that obstacles will come. They always do. It is up to us to find a way to be true to ourselves while navigating through them.”
    
    SJ, Daniel, Jason, and Blue have returned from Dreamland having achieved their goal of waking their two classmates trapped in a sleeping curse. The problem—their best friend Crisanta Knight didn’t make it back with them. With Crisa captured by the antagonists, our four heroes must team up with their fairytale friends to enact the ancient enchantment of Midnight Law. As they journey through more magical worlds than in any adventure before, and become entangled in the lore of Mulan, Alice in Wonderland, Rumpelstiltskin, and beyond, our heroes will need to face some hard truths about themselves and their relationships. And they have to hurry. Because if they don’t find Crisa by the time the clock strikes midnight, she’s not the only one who’s doomed . . .
