Beschreibung

In "The Unseen Hand; or, James Renfew and His Boy Helpers," Elijah Kellogg navigates the realms of adventure and moral instruction through a narrative rich in the ideals of American youth in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly industrializing society, Kellogg employs a direct yet engaging prose style that emphasizes both individual agency and collective effort. The story chronicles the challenges and triumphs of young boys as they assist a figure of authority, James Renfew, highlighting themes of perseverance, teamwork, and the virtues of hard work within a framework steeped in Christian moral values. Elijah Kellogg was a prominent author and educator whose works often reflect his background in progressive thinking and education. His commitment to fostering moral character among youth can be traced to his own experiences as a minister and his engagement with societal issues of his time. Through his writing, Kellogg aimed not only to entertain but to instill a sense of duty, responsibility, and ethical conduct in the impressionable minds of young readers, making this work a significant contribution to children'Äôs literature of the era. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in the interplay of morality and adventure in literature, especially those seeking to understand the socio-cultural context of 19th-century America. It serves not just as a nostalgic glimpse into the past but also as a timeless exploration of themes such as loyalty and integrity, appealing to both young readers and adults who appreciate enduring values.

    For Griffin Furlong, the odds were against him. 
    Death, homelessness, and fear of his future loomed early in his childhood. According to the National School Board Association, students experiencing homelessness are 87 percent more likely to drop out of school than their stably housed peers, and without a high school diploma, youth are 4.5 times more likely to experience homelessness later in life. But through the power of growing his perspective and mindset, Griffin transformed his perception of his situation and turned it into something worthwhile.  
    In Boundless, he shares his astonishing childhood story and major themes he learned along the way to defy the odds set against him. His story is a testament that no matter the obstacles, no matter the difficulties that lie ahead, and no matter the lack of resources, anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Griffin believes anyone can apply the principles in this book to create the future they dream of.
