Sinossi

In "Tales of Fantastical Adventures," Edith Nesbit weaves an enchanting tapestry of whimsical narratives that transport young readers into worlds brimming with magic and adventure. Characterized by her accessible prose and imaginative scenarios, Nesbit's stories draw from the rich tradition of Victorian children's literature while also pioneering elements of fantasy and realism. The collection features fully illustrated tales that showcase elements of the surreal, where ordinary children encounter extraordinary situations, exemplifying Nesbit's ability to combine humor with moral lessons seamlessly, thus engaging and educating her audience simultaneously. Edith Nesbit, a pioneering figure in children's literature, emerged from a background rich in artistic and literary influences, contributing to her unique voice. Her experiences as a socialist and her passion for children's rights often informed her writings, allowing her to advocate for imaginative play as a vital aspect of childhood development. Nesbit's innovative spirit in storytelling laid the groundwork for many later fantasy writers, positioning her as a forerunner in the genre. This delightful collection is highly recommended for readers of all ages, as it not only provides escapism through fantastical journeys but also encourages a deeper appreciation for creativity and imagination. "Tales of Fantastical Adventures" is a treasure trove waiting to be rediscovered, making it a perfect addition to any young reader's library.

Dear Mothman

Robin Gow

"A triumphant coming-of-age story about gender identity, strength, and friendship, 
as well as the different ways that people discover who they are." 
—School Library Journal, starred review 
 
A moving middle-grade novel in verse, about a young trans boy dealing with the loss of his friend by writing to his favorite cryptid, Mothman 
 
Halfway through sixth grade, Noah’s best friend and the only other trans boy in his school, Lewis, passed away in a car accident. Lewis was adventurous and curious, always bringing a new paranormal story to share with Noah. Together they daydreamed about cryptids and shared discovering their genders and names. After his death, lonely and yearning for someone who could understand him like Lewis once did, Noah starts writing letters to Mothman, wondering if he would understand how Noah feels and also looking for evidence of Mothman’s existence in the vast woods surrounding his small Poconos town. Noah becomes determined to make his science fair project about Mothman, despite his teachers and parents urging him to make a project about something “real.” 
 
Meanwhile, as Noah tries to find Mothman, Noah also starts to make friends with a group of girls in his grade, Hanna, Molly, and Alice, with whom he’d been friendly, but never close to. Now, they welcome him, and he starts to open up to each of them, especially Hanna, who Noah has a crush on. But as strange things start to happen and Noah becomes sure of Mothman’s existence, his parents and teachers don’t believe him. Noah decides it’s up to him to risk everything, trek into the woods, and find Mothman himself.

The October Witches

Jennifer Claessen

Thirteen-year-old Clementine Merlyn lives with her mom, her aunts, and her cousin Mirabelle at Number Fifteen Pendragon Road. The Merlyns are a family of witches, but because of an ancient falling out with the other branch of the family, the Morgans, they only have powers for a single month of the year: October. 
 
 
 
And this October may be the one that Clemmie gets her magic. It should be exciting, except that magic is the reason that Mirabelle never talks to her anymore, Aunt Flissie leaves at the end of every September and doesn't come back until November, and Aunt Temmie . . . well, is long gone. And the Merlyn bad luck takes an even worse turn this year. After a disastrous attempt by the aunts to recover their lost magic, 15 Pendragon Road is visited by the creepy and cold Morgans. 
 
 
 
In the wake of the ensuing battle, Clemmie and Mirabelle are left on their own. With no other choice, the cousins must bond together and summon their courage and magic to solve the mystery of what happened between the first Merlyn and Morgan all those centuries ago if they'll have any hope of ending this feud and getting their family back.
