Sinopse

In "The Mystery of the Secret Band," Edith Lavell masterfully weaves a tapestry of intrigue and suspense, drawing readers into a vivid narrative rich with enigmatic characters and clever plot twists. Set against the backdrop of a closely-knit community, the novel employs a lyrical prose style that enhances the emotional depth and tension, engaging the audience in a rollercoaster of discovery and revelation. Lavell's writing not only reflects the conventions of early 20th-century mystery literature, but also hints at the burgeoning themes of social commentary, exploring issues of trust, deception, and familial loyalty, ultimately posing profound questions about human nature. Edith Lavell, an esteemed writer known for her keen observations of social intricacies, drew inspiration from her own experiences in small towns where the unseen often lurked beneath the surface of everyday life. Her thorough understanding of human psychology and social dynamics informed her characters'Äô motivations and relationships, allowing readers to connect intimately with their dilemmas. Lavell's extensive background in literary studies and her participation in the lively intellectual circles of her time undoubtedly sculpted her narrative style and thematic choices. I highly recommend "The Mystery of the Secret Band" to fans of classic mystery literature and those intrigued by nuanced character studies. Lavell's adept storytelling invites readers to unravel the layers of secrecy alongside richly drawn characters, making it a compelling addition to any literary collection.

    This is the second to last book in the OZ series that Baum actually wrote himself before he passed away. "A Faithful Record of the Remarkable Adventures of Dorothy and Trot and the Wizard of Oz, together with the Cowardly Lion, the Hungry Tiger and Cap'n Bill, in their successful search for a Magical and Beautiful Birthday Present for Princess Ozma of Oz." - Summary by Baum. Almost all the marvelous creatures of OZ are involved in this far reaching adventure story with tons of danger, evil magic, dastardly plots and heroic last minute acts of bravery to finally save the day. The Lonesome Duck makes her first and last appearance in this book which, by itself, makes it a 'must listen to' in my opinion.

    This emotional and honest book explores a racist encounter from the perspective of a young Black boy, while offering a message of unconditional love and acceptance to soothe the pain of blind prejudice. In this story based on the author's childhood, a young Black boy confronts his first experience of overt racism. In recounting the events to his grandfather, the young narrator asks: “How can she hate me when she doesn’t know me?” Grandpa offers wisdom and encouragement to the child, reminding him that another person’s hate does not change the fact that he is loved and that he matters. While offering an unflinching look at the emotional impact of the encounter, Tyler Merritt presents a message of love and acceptance that will resonate with young readers and offer a starting point for conversations about racial equality between parent or caregiver and child.

    The Five Civilized Tribes

    The Five Civilized Tribes are among the best known Native American groups in American history, and they were even celebrated by contemporary Americans for their abilities to adapt to white culture. But tragically, they are also well known tribes due to the trials and tribulations they suffered by being forcibly moved west along the Trail of Tears. 
    The Cherokee began the process of assimilation with whites very early, even before the establishment of the Unites States, and by the early 19th century they were one of the “Five Civilized Tribes.” Ultimately, however, it is unclear what benefits “civilization” brought the tribe. Throughout the colonial period and after the American Revolution, the Cherokee struggled to satisfy the whims and desires of American government officials and settlers, often suffering injustices after complying with their desires. Nevertheless, the Cherokee continued to endure, and after being pushed west, they rose from humble origins as refugees new to the southeastern United States to build themselves back up into a powerhouse both economically and militarily. Even after being forced to leave their traditional homeland again, they once more rose to become a powerful tribe and nation, ruling themselves and building their economic power through wise and skillful leadership. 
    Though not as well known as the Cherokee, two of the Five Civilized Tribes were the Chickasaw and Choctaw. With roots that tie them to the Ancient Moundbuilders, the Chickasaw and Choctaw were among the most established groups in the Southeastern United States, and they were among the first natives encountered by Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto’s historic expedition in the mid-16th century. They became known as two of the Five Civilized Tribes for quickly assimilating aspects of European culture, but in response to early European contact, they also became part of one of the strongest confederacies in the region.
