Sinopsis

In Ethel Sybil Turner's "Seven Little Australians," the narrative unfolds around the rambunctious Woolcot family, particularly focusing on the seven children who navigate the challenges and adventures of childhood in colonial Australia. The novel is marked by its vivid, expressive prose that captures the spirit of the era while effectively employing humor and poignancy. Through a rich tapestry of characterizations and events, Turner encapsulates the themes of family dynamics, cultural identity, and societal expectations, effectively situating her work within the burgeoning genre of Australian literature that sought to define a national ethos during the late 19th century. Ethel Sybil Turner, born in 1872, was not only a prolific writer but also an early advocate for children's literature in Australia. Her own experiences growing up in a large, lively family provided her with a wealth of inspiration, enabling her to portray the innocent chaos of childhood with authenticity. Turner's work reflects her deep-seated connection to the Australian landscape and her commitment to portraying everyday life, making her one of the early voices in Australian storytelling. This timeless tale will resonate with readers of all ages, drawing them into a world where mischief meets warmth. "Seven Little Australians" is not merely a children's book but a celebration of resilience and familial love, making it a significant read for anyone interested in the evolution of Australian literature and the universal themes of childhood.

    From beloved Saturday Night Live alum Kate McKinnon comes a madcap new adventure about three sisters, a ravenous worm, and a mysterious mad scientist. So, you want to be a young mad scientist. Congratulations! Admitting it is the first step. The second step is reading the (definitely true) tale of the Porch sisters…   Gertrude, Eugenia, and Dee-Dee Porch do not belong. They don’t belong in the snooty town of Antiquarium, where all girls have to go to etiquette school and the only dog allowed is the bichon frise. They don’t belong with their adoptive family, where all their cousins are named Lavinia and their Aunt has more brooches than books. And they certainly don’t belong at Mrs. Wintermacher’s etiquette school—they’re far more interested in science. After getting kicked out of the last etiquette school that would take them, the girls expect to be sent away for good... until they receive a mysterious invitation to new school.   Suddenly the girls are under the tutelage of the infamous Millicent Quibb—a mad scientist with worms in her hair and oysters in her bathtub. At 231 Mysterium Way, the pizza is fatal, the bus is powered by Gerbils, and the Dean of Students is a hermit crab.  Dangerous? Yes! More fun than they’ve ever had? Absolutely! But when the sisters are asked to save their town from an evil cabal of nefarious mad scientists, they must learn to embrace what has always made them stand out, and determine what side they’re on—before it’s too late!

    Xuanzang and his disciples encountered Guanyin waiting to remind them to be careful in the nearby kingdom. Its king was hunting for four monks to complete his goal of killing ten thousand. The monkey stole clothes from some locals to conceal their identities as Buddhist monks. They entered the city and decided to sleep in a big trunk in a hostel to make sure no one could discover they were Buddhists while they slept. While in the trunk, the monkey baited hostel attendants by boasting that they were carrying a lot of silver. Local bandits got the word and stole the trunk containing the group in the middle of the night. However, soldiers noticed the burglars and fought to get the trunk back and presented it to the king. The monkey snuck out and shaved everyone in the royal palace bald with razors. The king was shocked the next day and realized that he had made many mistakes. When the group exited the trunk, the king decided to honor Buddhism and let the pilgrims leave safely.
