Summary

In the historical novel Wulf the Saxon by G. A. Henty, readers are transported back to the time of the Norman Conquest of England. The book intricately weaves together themes of war, loyalty, and honor through the captivating story of Wulf, a young Saxon thane who finds himself caught in the midst of the conflict between the Normans and Saxons. Henty's detailed descriptions and vivid imagery bring the medieval setting to life, immersing readers in a world of knights, battles, and chivalry. The author's writing style is easy to follow, making this an engaging read for both young adults and adults alike. Wulf the Saxon is a testament to Henty's skill in crafting historical fiction that educates and entertains. The book showcases Henty's extensive knowledge of history, particularly the medieval period, and his passion for storytelling. His ability to blend historical accuracy with fictional narrative makes Wulf the Saxon a valuable contribution to the genre of historical fiction. I highly recommend Wulf the Saxon to anyone interested in history, adventure, and medieval literature.

    Twelve-year-old Rosie is a musical prodigy whose synesthesia allows her to see music in colors. 
     
     
     
    She's never told anyone this, though. She already stands out more than enough as a musical "prodigy" who plays better than most adults. Rosie's mom expects her to become a professional violinist. But this summer, Rosie refuses to play. 
     
     
     
    She wants to have a break. To make friends and discover new hobbies. To find out who she would be if her life didn't revolve around the violin. 
     
     
     
    So instead of attending a prestigious summer music camp, Rosie goes with her mom to visit her grandparents. Grandma Florence's health is failing, Grandpa Jack doesn't talk much, and Rosie's mom is furious with her for giving up the violin. But Rosie is determined to make the most of her "strike." And when she meets a girl who seems distinctly familiar, she knows this summer will be unlike any other. 
     
     
     
    With help from a mysterious glitch in time—plus her grandparents, an improv group, and a new instrument—Rosie uncovers secrets that change how she sees her family, herself, and the music that's always been part of her.

    In the opulent sinking city of Dantessa, the Great Game rules all. Pia Paro believes that, so long as you follow the rules, you always have a chance at winning. But after her beloved Gramps is sentenced to a life of servitude, Pia accepts a dangerous offer and joins a team of players seeking to win the most perilous game of all: Noctis. The Seafoxes—Pia’s new teammates—are unlike anyone she’s ever met. There’s brash, bold Carlo; macabre Serafina; kindhearted Pasquale; and their dashing ringleader, Vittoria. Each has their own reason for playing, and soon, Pia begins to question all her long-held beliefs. Maybe the rules Pia once trusted to lift her up have only been keeping her—and thousands of others like her—down. As she struggles with these revelations, Pia must survive a gauntlet of clockwork soldiers, perilous underwater adventures, and even a game against Death herself. But with Pia’s grandfather’s life at stake, Pia must finally decide whether she’s brave enough to not just break the rules but also change the very nature of the Game.
