Sinopse

In the evocative anthology "Nelson the Newsboy; Or, Afloat in New York," readers encounter a captivating exploration of the themes of ambition, resilience, and the pursuit of the American Dream through the lens of the young and often overlooked. This collection features a rich tapestry of literary styles, including the adventurous serial narrative and moral didacticism. With its gaze set on urban life and its inherent challenges, this anthology captures the zeitgeist of late 19th to early 20th-century America, painting a vivid portrait of youthful determination against the backdrop of the bustling cityscape. The contributing authors, Edward Stratemeyer and Horatio Jr. Alger, are luminaries in the juvenile fiction genre, known for their profound impact in shaping the stories of youth endeavor and adversity. Stratemeyer, with his knack for creating engaging series, and Alger, renowned for his rags-to-riches tales, provide a compelling dialogue between their works. Rooted in the historical context of post-Civil War America, the anthology aligns with the period's literary movements that emphasize moral fortitude and social mobility, offering readers a kaleidoscope of narratives steeped in cultural and historical significance. This anthology is an invaluable addition to any reader's library, particularly for those fascinated by the complex interplay of childhood ambition and urban life at a pivotal time in American history. It presents a unique opportunity to traverse a diverse array of perspectives and stylistic approaches, providing a rich educational experience along with profound literary enjoyment. By bringing together both time-honored and innovative voices, "Nelson the Newsboy; Or, Afloat in New York" invites readers to reflect on the contradictions and hopes of an era through the eyes of its most earnest dreamers.

The stars speak in a language of secrets, yet their stories cannot remain hidden forever. 
Billions of years ago, on one of the first-ever Earths, a boy named Skylar will walk away from his home for the last time. Beset by dreams where he flies through the early universe as a sentient starship, he will never be safe if his secret gets out. His only chance to stay alive is to fall in with the same knights who destroyed his peasant village and live under the shadow of the king who sent them to exterminate Skylar’s people. 
But powerful dreams have a way of shaping reality, and with each midnight flight across the cosmos, Skylar finds his world—and himself—changing. Magic is another thing which should only exist in dreams, yet Skylar has it—one more secret that needs keeping. 
Against a waking life full of monsters, warriors, swords, sorcery, treasure, and ancient mysteries, Skylar has only one key for putting all the pieces together: the Secret Sky that haunts his sleeping mind.
