Sinossi

In 'The Boy Patriot,' Edward Sylvester Ellis presents a gripping narrative set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, following the adventures of a young protagonist who embodies the spirit of patriotism and courage. Through vivid descriptions and a dynamic literary style, Ellis captures the complexities of youthful idealism amid the harsh realities of conflict. The book engages with themes of bravery, sacrifice, and the moral dilemmas faced by those who lived through one of America's most trying periods, reflecting the era's growing focus on individual heroism and national identity in juvenile literature. Edward Sylvester Ellis was a prolific 19th-century author, known for his dedication to producing engaging works for young readers. His experiences as a teacher and his interest in youth-centered narratives undoubtedly influenced his writing. Ellis was deeply invested in instilling a sense of pride and responsibility in the younger generation, a motivation that shines through in 'The Boy Patriot,' where the protagonist's journey is not only a quest for adventure but also a lesson in civic duty during a tumultuous time in American history. I highly recommend 'The Boy Patriot' to both young readers and historians alike. It serves as an excellent introduction to the ideals of patriotism and resilience, while also providing a captivating glimpse into the narrative traditions of the Civil War era. Ellis's engaging storytelling and rich historical context make this book a valuable addition to any library.

    A young girl preparing for her bat mitzvah discovers she has mysterious abilities in this magical contemporary coming-of-age story from the beloved author of Orphan Island. 
    Hi, whoever is reading this. I’m Zipporah Chava McConnell, but everyone calls me Zippy. 
    Things used to be simple—until a few weeks ago. Now my best friend, Bea, is acting funny; everyone at school thinks I’m weird; and my mom is making me start preparing for my bat mitzvah, even though we barely ever go to synagogue. In fact, the only thing that still seems to make sense is magic. 
    See, the thing is, I’m a witch. I’ve been casting spells since I was little. And even if no one else wants to believe in magic anymore, it’s always made sense to me, always felt true. But I was still shocked the day I found a strange red book at the library and somehow...I conjured something. A girl, actually. A beautiful girl with no memory, and wings like an angel. You probably don’t believe me, but I swear it’s the truth. 
    Miriam is like no one else I’ve ever met. She’s proof that magic is real. And, it’s hard to explain this part, but I just know that we’re connected. That means it’s up to me to help Miriam figure out what she is and where she came from. If I can do that, maybe everything else in my life will start to make sense too. 
    Anyway, it’s worth a try.
