Sinossi

In "Harding's Luck," E. Nesbit masterfully weaves a tale that combines elements of fantasy and everyday life, reflecting the late Victorian era's shifting social dynamics. The narrative follows the misadventures of Mr. Harding, an unassuming clerk whose life takes unexpected turns due to a series of lucky occurrences. Nesbit's prose is imbued with sharp wit and a keen understanding of human nature, showcasing her unique ability to blend humor with nuanced social commentary. The book sits comfortably within the genre of children's literature while appealing to a broader audience, as it grapples with themes of fortune, resilience, and the unpredictability of life. E. Nesbit, a pioneering figure in children's literature, was influenced by her own experiences of hardship and fantasy. Born in 1858, she was an advocate for children's rights and a fervent supporter of social reform. Her background in social activism and her fascination with imaginative storytelling shaped her narrative style, inviting readers into a world where the ordinary confronts the extraordinary. "Harding's Luck" is a delightful read for anyone captivated by charm, humor, and the intricate dance of fate and fortune. Whether you are revisiting Nesbit's enchanting worlds or discovering them for the first time, this novel promises to engage your imagination and evoke a sense of wonder, making it an essential addition to your literary collection.

    With their blue blood, big brains and eight arms, octopuses are dramatically different from any other being. 
    Octopuses are masters of camouflage and known for their incredible escapes from tight spots. New research shows that they are highly intelligent creatures, and while they prefer to be alone, they will interact with humans and display unique personality traits. 
    In Octopus Ocean, discover the mysteries and histories of octopuses big and small—their biology, habitat and habits—and explore the top threats to their future, including warming oceans, over-fishing and pollution. 
    Part of the nonfiction Orca Wild series for middle-grade readers this book introduces kids to octopuses all over the world. It discusses octopus habitat, biology and threats to survival, and how scientists, conservationists and young people are working to protect octopuses everywhere. 
    “Mark Leiren-Young’s Octopus Ocean gives young readers a wonderful sense of many aspects of the world of octopuses in a very clear, concise and interesting way. It makes the reader think, and it educates without preaching. This book is a door to the magnificent world of the octopus—a door that, if opened and explored, will bring much joy and connection.” - Craig Foster, star and producer of My Octopus Teacher
