Sinopse

In "The Magic City," Edith Nesbit ingeniously weaves a tale of fantasy and adventure that explores the boundless landscapes of imagination and childhood. The story follows the protagonist, Philip, who, devastated by his sister's departure, constructs a fantastical city from sand and dreams, embodying the rich traditions of children's literature during the Edwardian era. Nesbit's literary style is characterized by her vivid descriptions, playful tone, and a seamless blend of realism and fantasy, reflecting the thematic concerns of her time, particularly the challenges of grief, sibling relationships, and the powerful role of imagination. The inclusion of enchanting illustrations enhances the fantastical elements of the narrative, making it an engaging experience for readers of all ages. Edith Nesbit (1858-1924) was a pioneering English author known for her significant contributions to children's literature, often drawing from her own experiences and the political landscape of her era. Growing up in a family that valued storytelling and imagination, Nesbit's formative years, marked by both joy and hardship, undoubtedly influenced her characterization of resilient young protagonists. Her various political and social interests, particularly in socialist movements, also colored her narratives, making her works rich in both imagination and sociopolitical context. "The Magic City" is highly recommended for readers who seek a poignant exploration of childhood fantasies and the resilience of the human spirit. Suitable for both young readers and adults who cherish the whimsicality of imagination, the book invites one to discover the transformative power of creativity. Nesbit's narrative not only entertains but also resonates emotionally, compelling readers to reflect on the significance of dreams and the solace they provide amidst life's challenges.

For Merci Suárez, eighth grade means a new haircut, nighttime football games, and an out-of-town overnight field trip. At home, it means more chores and keeping an eye on Lolo as his health worsens. It’s a year filled with more responsibility and independence, but also with opportunities to reinvent herself. Merci has always been fine with not being one of the popular kids like Avery Sanders, who will probably be the soccer captain and is always traveling to fun places and buying new clothes. But then Avery starts talking to Merci more, and not just as a teammate. Does this mean they’re friends? Merci wants to play it cool, but with Edna always in her business, it’s only a matter of time before Merci has to decide where her loyalty stands. Whether Merci is facing school drama or changing family dynamics, listeners will empathize as she discovers who she can count on—and what can change in an instant—in Meg Medina’s heartfelt conclusion to the trilogy that began with the Newbery Medal-winning Merci Suárez Changes Gears.
