Synopsis

Francis Hodgson Burnett's "A Little Princess" and "The Secret Garden" are masterpieces of children's literature that delve into themes of resilience, identity, and the transformative power of nature and imagination. Both narratives are intricately woven with a rich, evocative literary style that captures the emotional landscapes of their young protagonists, Sara Crewe and Mary Lennox. Set against the backdrop of Victorian England, these novels challenge social norms, highlight the importance of inner strength, and celebrate the possibility of renewal through friendship and compassion. Burnett employs vivid imagery and immersive storytelling to transport readers into worlds where kindness triumphs over adversity, emphasizing the moral growth of her characters amidst societal challenges. Francis Hodgson Burnett, an American-British author, drew upon her own experiences as a child in a changing society to craft narratives that reflect her deep understanding of isolation and resilience. Burnett's own youth was marked by loss and poverty, themes that resonate throughout her works. Her personal journey as a writer showcases her belief in the potential of children to forge their paths, bringing both hope and joy into their lives despite external circumstances. Readers are wholeheartedly encouraged to immerse themselves in "A Little Princess" and "The Secret Garden," for these works not only entertain but also inspire, presenting enduring lessons about courage, empathy, and the healing power of nature. Such captivating stories remind us that the simplest acts of kindness can create ripples of change, making them timeless reads for both children and adults alike.

    Amelia Earhart's famous aviator goggles go missing and eleven-year-old Millie has to find them before the night is over in this girl-powered middle grade mystery. 
     
     
     
    Eleven-year-old Amelia Ashford—Millie to her friends (if she had any, that is)—doesn't realize just how much adventure awaits her when she's given the opportunity of a lifetime: to spend the night in Amelia Earhart's childhood home with five other girls. Make that five strangers. But Millie's mom is a pilot like the famous Amelia, and Millie would love to have something to write to her about . . . if only she had her address. 
     
     
     
    Once at Amelia's house in Atchison, Kansas, Millie stumbles upon a display of Amelia's famous flight goggles. She can't believe her good luck, since they're about to be relocated to a fancy museum in Washington, DC. But her luck changes quickly when the goggles disappear, and Millie was the last to see them. Soon, fingers are pointing in all directions, and someone falls strangely ill. Suddenly, a fun night of scavenger hunts and sweets takes a nosedive and the girls aren't sure who to trust. With a blizzard raging outside and a house full of suspects, the girls have no choice but to band together. It's up to the Amelia Six to find the culprit and return the goggles to their rightful place. Or the next body to collapse could be one of theirs.
