Summary

In E. Nesbit's enchanting tale "Wet Magic," readers are transported to a world where the ordinary meets the extraordinary as four children discover a mysterious underwater realm filled with mermaids, sea monsters, and the magic of the ocean. The narrative is woven with Nesbit's characteristic blend of imagination and wit, showcasing her adeptness at creating vivid landscapes and lively characters that resonate with both young and adult readers. The book is imbued with elements of early 20th-century fantasy literature, echoing the likes of Lewis Carroll and J.M. Barrie, while also hinting at the burgeoning genre of children's literature that seeks to impart moral lessons under the guise of entertainment. E. Nesbit was a pioneering figure in children's literature, known for her innovative storytelling and progressive themes. Her own experiences as a mother and her involvement in socialist movements influenced her work, imbuing her stories with a sense of sociopolitical awareness and the importance of camaraderie and adventure. Nesbit's rich imagination was undoubtedly shaped by her love of folklore and fairy tales, allowing her to create narratives where childhood innocence intersects with social realities. "Wet Magic" is a delightful read for anyone captivated by the allure of adventure and the mysteries of the sea. It holds a timeless charm, making it an ideal recommendation for both children and adults seeking a whimsical escape into a world where imagination knows no bounds. This book is not only an adventure story but also a profound exploration of the bond formed through shared experiences, inviting readers to reflect on the magic that lies within nature and our connections to one another.

    Milton Hershey - More Than...

    'We've done more than our share to see you right, but you're a Hershey, a true son of a dreamer,' Milton's Uncle Abraham said. 'You'll never stick with anything long enough to make it work for you.' Milton gulped. He'd already suspected that his relatives had given up on him succeeding as a candy maker, but the words still stung. When Milton Hershey's famous Hershey Bars debuted in 1905, few people knew of the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice preceding the triumph. Debt, lack of support, and fatigue had been constant companions for the famous chocolatier and philanthropist -- a man with a fourth-grade education. Despite comparisons to his wandering father, Milton never gave up. Learning from his mistakes, he spent a lifetime creating sweet things to eat -- first caramel, then chocolate. As his company soared, Milton used his wealth to care for others, founding a town for Hershey workers, a school for children in need, and a foundation dedicated to education, culture, and health care.

    "Get ready for a smart, fun, sharply written, page-turning heart-clencher of a story. I would follow Avery and Jax anywhere. And I will read everything Erin Soderberg Downing writes." - Natalie Lloyd, bestselling author of Hummingbird and The Witching WindIn this alternating narrative by bestselling author Erin Soderberg Downing, a decades-old family secret is buried within the sand, water, and woods... waiting for cousins Avery and Jax to find it and uncover the truth.

Her cousin, Jax, is a wall flower, because sometimes it's better to stay quiet when the alternative is to be told that you're doing or saying everything wrong. They seem to be the only ones who don't know what happened years ago when their family shattered and went off in different directions.When their beloved Aunt Robbie summons the large, estranged family together for a gathering at their broken-down family cabin on Crooked Lake, instead of getting the answer, Aunt Robbie delivers some devastating news. Avery and Jax learn that by the end of the summer, the island that's been a part of their family for generations is going up for sale.Forced to stay on the island with their estranged family to get it into shape to sell, Avery and Jax begin to dig through the history of the long-abandoned house and its contents... including a sprinkling of diary pages that were hidden around the island decades ago, the summer their family was torn apart.In this alternating narrative by bestselling author Erin Soderberg Downing, two cousins are finally beginning to understand the joy of family--however cracked and imperfect theirs might be. But if they have any chance of gluing their broken family back together, they'll have to first figure out what happened then.
