Beschreibung

In "The Enchanted Castle," Edith Nesbit weaves a captivating tale that combines elements of fantasy, adventure, and childhood innocence. The story unfolds as three children discover a magical castle and are drawn into a world filled with whimsical enchantments, where they encounter a mysterious princess and confront their own desires and fears. Nesbit'Äôs prose is characterized by its imaginative brilliance and a gentle humor that invites readers to explore the boundaries between reality and fantasy. Set against the backdrop of the early 20th century, the narrative reflects the period'Äôs burgeoning fascination with the supernatural, while simultaneously addressing themes of friendship, loyalty, and the complexities of growing up. Edith Nesbit, a pioneering figure in children'Äôs literature, was known for her inventive storytelling and her push against conventional narratives of her time. Growing up in a politically active family, she often infused her works with a blend of realism and fantasy that challenged societal norms. Nesbit's experiences as a mother and her involvement in social reform movements profoundly shaped her understanding of childhood, allowing her to create relatable characters placed in extraordinary situations. A must-read for lovers of magical realism and classic children'Äôs literature, "The Enchanted Castle" not only enchants the imagination but also offers profound insights into the nature of dreams and reality. Nesbit'Äôs masterful storytelling, coupled with enchanting illustrations, makes this book a timeless treasure, making it an ideal addition to the library of readers of all ages.

    A sweetly spooky ghost story about a Cuban American boy who befriends a pair of spirits and tries to break the curse on his island home . . . only to discover a seemingly lost piece of his family’s history in the process. This new middle grade standalone mystery from the author of the Muse Squad series is perfect for fans of Doll Bones and The Girl and the Ghost! 
    Frank Fernandez’s family never stays in one place for long. His parents renovate unusual buildings and turn them into homes, which means the family moves—a lot. This makes it hard for bookish Frank to make friends. So when his parents announce they’re moving to Spectacle Key, Florida, to live in a lighthouse—this time for good!—Frank is thrilled. 
    But Spectacle Key isn’t the perfect forever home they'd imagined. The lighthouse is falling apart. There are knocks on the door—but no one is there—and mysterious sighs and sniffles from nowhere. There’s even a creepy doll that seems to move on its own. Could Spectacle Key be haunted? 
    Then one day while exploring, Frank meets a girl in old-fashioned clothes, with no memory of who she is. What she does know, though, is that the island is under a curse—and she needs Frank’s help to figure out how to lift it. But what if learning the truth about Spectacle Key means losing the first real friend he’s ever had?

    Gangway for Homer by George R. Hahn - Here is an epic worthy of you, immortal bard. Arise, oh Homer, and hearken to the classic saga of Achilles Maravain! Gangway for Homer by George R. Hahn 
    His name was really John Smith. Incredibly enough, it had always been John Smith. As far back as people in his circle and neighborhood could remember, it had been John Smith—and they could remember back all the way to when he had been a mere tottering tot—to the swaddling clothes days. He was what might be called a medium man. His height was medium. His middle-age was medium. His hair, eyes, and nose were medium. Unpretentious he looked and adequate. He fulfilled his name, which, as we mentioned above, was John Smith—not Achilles Maravain. 
    Yet she persisted in calling him Achilles Maravain. She declaimed; she cried out; she excited herself and all present—all to the effect that John Smith was Achilles Maravain. Everybody paid her the best of attention, although they couldn't believe her. Everybody regarded her with interest. She had a wild, pale, exotic-looking face, a figure it would be indelicate to remark upon, and legs that were crystallized ecstasy. They listened to her words; they gazed upon her. The Los Angeles Forum of Camera Arts gazed to satiety on face and figure and legs and sighed en masse. Insanely gay sighs, sighed they. She was desirable and moreover she had interrupted President Soupy's discussion of "Repentance," a camera study in monotone by Pierre de la Bardier. Had you ever listened to President Soupy remarking that such and such was "taken on a Zeiss Super Iconta B with Metchnormatic Ultra-Lite film at an exposure of f5.6 with diaphragm—, etc.," you too would have been gay—aye, insanely gay—to have had him interrupted by a luscious looking pair of legs like that. Thus, everybody was happy.
