Beschreibung

In "Jack the Runaway; or, On the Road with a Circus," Frank V. Webster weaves an engaging tale centered on the adventures of a young boy named Jack, who escapes an unfulfilling life to join a traveling circus. The narrative is characterized by its vivid descriptions, capturing the excitement and challenges of life on the road, while employing a straightforward yet charming literary style that resonates with young readers. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the book reflects themes of freedom, identity, and the pursuit of adventure, drawing from the cultural zeitgeist surrounding the fascination with circuses during that era. Frank V. Webster, a prolific writer of children's literature, often explored themes of adventure and self-discovery in his works. His own background, marked by a love for travel and an appreciation for the whimsical nature of circus life, undoubtedly influenced his decision to craft this story. Through his experiences and keen observations, Webster invites readers to experience the thrill of the unknown, echoing a universal yearning for escape and exploration in youth. This delightful narrative is perfect for young readers seeking both adventure and warmth in their literature. "Jack the Runaway" captivates with its adventurous spirit while encouraging readers to embrace their own journeys. For anyone interested in classic children's tales that celebrate courage and curiosity, Webster's work stands as a timeless recommendation.

    Abbiamo forse dimenticato che non esiste un solo modello di bellezza, ma che, al contrario, può assumere infinite forme diverse? Ci siamo sentiti tutti noi, almeno una volta, ‘’diversi’, provando quasi vergogna o timore. 
    Kaya è una bambina molto coraggiosa, senza alcun dubbio diversa dai suoi coetanei: seppure così piccola, sa che la diversità è ricchezza. Grazie alla forza dell’amore e dell’amicizia, riuscirà a sradicare tutti i pregiudizi ingiustificati sul suo conto. 
    Questo audiolibro può aiutare a far comprendere ai propri figli quanto sia importante credere in sé stessi e ad imparare ad apprezzare la realtà per la sua prolifera diversità. 
    Accade spesso che sia nel mondo degli adulti che in quello dei ragazzi non si capisca quanto siano importanti le differenze. E’ un fenomeno in crescita, soprattutto in un’era tecnologica come la nostra, in cui si cerca di trasmettere la falsa credenza che per essere belli bisogna seguire in tutto e per tutto uno standard. 
    Dopo aver ascoltato questo audio, i tuoi bambini avranno sviluppato questa consapevolezza, fondamentale per vivere in una società che sia sintesi delle più disparate diversità. 
    Come sarebbe il nostro pianeta, infatti, se tutto apparisse uguale, plastificato, scialbo? Un mondo grigio, ecco che cosa avremmo! La bellezza salverà il mondo, è vero! Ma ben sapendo che il suo sinonimo più fedele forse è ‘’diversità’’. 
    Kaya acquisisce la consapevolezza di sé e la capacità di rapportarsi agli altri grazie al sostegno dei suoi genitori e del suo caro amico. 
    Ora aspetta di essere conosciuta da ciascuno dei vostri figli, per accompagnarli in questa emozionante avventura!

    And Miles to Go Before I Sleep by William F. Nolan - He knew, to the exact minute, when he was going to die. And Earth was too far away to reach.... 
    Alone within the humming ship, deep in its honeycombed metal chambers, Murdock waited for death. While the rocket moved inexorably toward Earth—an immense silver needle threading the dark fabric of space—he waited calmly through the final hours, knowing that the verdict was absolute, that hope no longer existed. 
    Electronically self-sufficient, the ship was doing its job perfectly, the job it had been built to do. After twenty years in space, the ship was taking Robert Murdock home. 
    Home. Earth. Thayerville, a small town in Kansas. Clean air, a shaded street, and a white, two-story house at the end of the block. Home—after two decades among the stars. 
    Sitting quietly before the round port, seeing and not seeing the endless darkness surrounding him, Murdock was remembering. 
    He remembered the worried face of his mother, her whispered prayers for his safety as he mounted the rocket ramp those twenty years ago; he could still feel the final, crushing handshake of his father moments before the outer airlock slid closed. His mother had been 55 then, his father 63. It was almost impossible to believe that they were now old and white-haired. 
    And what of himself? 
    He was now 41, and space had weathered him as the plains of Kansas had weathered his father. He, too, had labored as his father had labored—but on strange, alien worlds, under suns far hotter than Sol. Murdock's face was square and hard-featured, his eyes dark and deep under thrusting ledges of bone. He had changed as they had changed. 
    He was a stranger going home to strangers. 
    Carefully, Murdock unfolded his mother's last letter, written in her flowery, archaic hand, and received just before Earth take-off.

    The Case of the Smuggler’s Curse is the first in a brand-new series of adventure stories for kids that brings together the best traditions of Enid Blyton, Jacqueline Wilson and David Walliams. 
     
    Lucy, Max, Charlie and Joe aren’t looking for new friends – they have too many of their own problems to worry about. But when the four of them, and Charlie’s faithful dog, Sherlock, spot a phantom figure on Southwold beach one winter’s night, they are thrown together to unravel a mystery that none of them expected. Just who is the ghostly spectre that walks the sands of Southwold with a lantern in his hand? What is the connection to the ancient curse that hangs over the town? And is the respectable Quentin De Havilland everything he pretends to be? If the five friends can learn to work together, they might just solve the mystery – if only they can stop arguing with each other first.
