Sinopse

In "Tommy Smith's Animals," Edmund Selous crafts a richly detailed narrative that blends natural history with whimsical storytelling. The book presents an imaginative adventure through the eyes of Tommy Smith, a boy whose encounters with animals stir a sense of wonder and invite reflections on nature'Äôs intricacies. Selous employs a lyrical style infused with a sense of childlike curiosity, echoing the Victorian era'Äôs burgeoning interest in zoology and ecology, thus situating the book within a broader literary context that advocates for the appreciation of the natural world. Edmund Selous, a prominent figure in the early environmental movement and a celebrated naturalist, brings his deep love and understanding of wildlife to the page. His experiences in the English countryside, coupled with his observations of animal behavior, undoubtedly shaped his narrative approach. Selous's passion is evident not only in the vivid descriptions of animals but also in the underlying themes of conservation and respect for all living beings, reflecting the ideals prevalent during his life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. "Tommy Smith's Animals" is a compelling read for anyone who cherishes the bond between humans and nature. This book is not only appealing to children but also serves as a reminder for adults to reconnect with the world around them. By blending adventure with ecological consciousness, Selous invites readers to delve into a charming exploration that will resonate with all ages.

    From the author of The Outsiders: This novel about two brothers in a tough world “packs a punch that will leave readers of any age reeling” (School Library Journal).  An ALA Best Book for Young AdultsA School Library Journal Best Book of the Year   Rusty-James wants to be just like his big brother Motorcycle Boy—tough enough to be respected by everyone in the neighborhood. But Motorcycle Boy is also smart, so smart that Rusty-James relies on him to bail him out of trouble. The brothers are inseparable, and Motorcycle Boy will always be there to watch his back, so there's nothing to worry about, right? Or so Rusty-James believes, until his world falls apart and Motorcycle Boy isn't there to pick up the pieces.   An edgy, emotional portrait of a troubled kid trying to navigate the chaotic world around him, Rumble Fish was made into a film by Francis Ford Coppola and has become a modern classic praised by School Library Journal as “stylistically superb” and beloved by multiple generations of readers.   “Hinton knows how to plunge us right into [Rusty-James’s] dead-end mentality—his inability to verbalize much of anything, to come to grips with his anger about his alcoholic father and the mother who deserted him, even his distance from his own feelings.”—Kirkus Reviews
