Sinossi

The House on the Cliff is a gripping installment in the beloved Hardy Boys series, written by Franklin W. Dixon. The narrative plunges readers into a thrilling mystery involving the disappearance of a crucial artifact and a sinister house perched perilously on the cliffs. Dixon's prose is brisk and engaging, perfectly suited for young readers while maintaining a sense of intrigue and adventure that harkens back to the classic detective stories of the early 20th century. The book effectively weaves elements of suspense, camaraderie, and moral integrity, capturing the essence of youth and the spirit of adventure that has characterized the series since its inception. Franklin W. Dixon is a pseudonym for a collective of authors, most notably Edward Stratemeyer, who created the Hardy Boys series as a response to the burgeoning desire for adventure literature among young readers. Growing up in the early 1900s, Stratemeyer recognized the importance of these tales for promoting intelligence, teamwork, and problem-solving, themes that are abundantly present in The House on the Cliff. The storyline's action and moral underpinnings reflect both the era's challenges and the universal appeal of adventure and friendship. This book is a must-read for fans of mystery and detective fiction. The House on the Cliff not only entertains but also encourages critical thinking and the value of persistence, making it an excellent choice for young readers seeking both excitement and moral lessons. Enthusiasts of the Hardy Boys will find this tale rich with suspense and nostalgia, reinstating the timeless charm of these iconic characters.

We Are A Circus

Nasta

We Are A Circus is the charming, autobiographical tale of a rainbow family, riding around Thessaloniki on a bike. They are poor and living precariously, but they are happy together and have fun in the sun and in the rain (though sometimes they get a bit cold).
As the book progresses, we follow them through the seasons, playing and cycling and fending off the weather. When their landlord turfs them out of their house, things get more serious as they have to find a new home, fast.
Nasta has created an exuberant, compassionate story, which is beautifully complemented by Rosie Fencott's energetic artwork.
**Longlisted for the 2024 Klaus Flugge Illustration Award **
We are a circus.
Fortunately not like the ones that train animals.
(Fortunately means "happiness")
We are trained by animals! They even make us jump through flaming hoops!

I am kidding. Animals would never do this.
