Sinopsis

In "Bobby Blake on the School Nine; Or, The Champions of the Monatook Lake League," Frank A. Warner weaves an engaging narrative that captures both the exuberance of youth and the competitive spirit of school sports. Set against the backdrop of small-town America, the book chronicles the trials and triumphs of a high school baseball team as they aspire to victory within the Monatook Lake League. Warner'Äôs crisp prose and vivid characterizations evoke a nostalgic era, blending humor and drama to create relatable yet larger-than-life characters navigating the trials of adolescence and athletics. The story serves as a microcosm of the cultural zeitgeist of the late 19th century, reflecting the societal values surrounding teamwork, perseverance, and community pride. Frank A. Warner, an astute observer of the American landscape, was deeply influenced by his own experiences in small-town life and sports. His love for baseball, which was more than just a game but a vital part of the communal identity, shines through in this narrative. Warner's personal engagement with youth sports and the dynamics of local leagues informed both the character development and plot progression, making his portrayal of Bobby Blake and his comrades authentic and engaging. This charming tale is highly recommended for readers who appreciate coming-of-age stories steeped in nostalgia and sportsmanship. Warner'Äôs novel resonates with both young readers eager for adventure and adults longing for a window into the simpler, yet profoundly rich, days of their youth. "Bobby Blake on the School Nine" is not just a story about baseball; it'Äôs a celebration of friendship, ambition, and the indomitable spirit of youth.

    Could you survive alone, for 2 months at sea in a dugout canoe? 
    In 1846, James Morrill survived a shipwreck on Australia’s north coast. Though the young sailor was then embraced by the local Indigenous community, in Modern-Day Castaway, Michael Atkinson asks, ‘Could James have built a vessel and made the perilous journey to a historic rescue haven in the Torres Strait?’ 
    With the cyclone season fast approaching, Alone Australia contestant and solo adventurer, Mike Atkinson, sets sail on an extraordinary 1500-kilometre journey to the northern tip of Australia. His aim: to live entirely off the land and sea. 
    As malnourishment drains his body, Mike navigates his failing dugout canoe through the treacherous waters of the Great Barrier Reef, and along the wild and unforgiving coastline of Cape York. From crocodile defence tactics, to calamitous canoe failure, to fishing with adapted Indigenous tools, Modern-Day Castaway journals Mike’s epic struggle for survival. 
    This is a truly unique book. A cross between Tom Hanks Castaway (although this story is real, not fiction!), a genuine shipwrecked sailor’s tale and Mike’s awe-inspiring journey of discovery.

    Dead Man's Planet by William Morrison - When a driven man arrives at a cemetery world, what else can it be but journey's end—and the start of a new one? 
    Outside the ship, it was the sun that blazed angrily. Inside, it was Sam Wilson's temper. "Study your lessons," he snarled, with a savageness that surprised himself, "or I'll never let you set foot on this planet at all." 
    "Okay, Pop," said Mark, a little white around the nostrils. He looked old for so young a kid. "I didn't mean anything wrong." 
    "I don't care what you meant. You do as you're told." 
    In the quiet that followed, broken only by the hum of the arithmetic-tape, Sam wondered at himself. As kids went, Mark had never been a nuisance. Certainly Rhoda had never had any trouble with him. But Rhoda had been altogether different. Sam was tough and he had always got a sense of satisfaction out of knowing that he was hard-boiled. Or at least that was once true. Rhoda had been sweet, gentle.... 
    He aroused himself from thoughts of her by calling, "Mark!" 
    "Yes, Pop?" 
    His voice had been harsher than he had intended. Over the past few weeks he seemed gradually to have been losing control of it. Now, although he was going to do his son a favor, he sounded like a slavemaster threatening a beating. "You can shut off your arithmetic lesson. We're going out." 
    "But didn't you want me—" 
    "I changed my mind."

    An artful mixture of fantasy and reality, humor and heart, Maya Was Grumpy celebrates the power of imagination and humor to improve moods. Maya wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, tangled in her blanket, and in a crispy, cranky, grumpy, grouchy mood. She doesn't want to read or color or go outside to play. What's worse, she's determined to share her grumpiness with everyone as she glumps, clumps, and thumps around the house. But when Maya growls at her grandmother, Gramma graciously takes Maya's mood in stride, and even has a solution: Gramma suggests a series of unusual activities that Maya will probably not want to do since she's feeling grumpy—and then dismisses her own silly suggestions before Maya can reject them. Children will find it hard to keep from smiling as they watch Maya's grouchiness dissolve into glee at Gramma's giggle-inducing ideas, while adults will find Gramma's clever tactic a useful strategy to add to their repertoire when kids are grumpy.
