Sinopsis

In "Jack the Young Explorer: A Boy's Experiences in the Unknown Northwest," George Bird Grinnell crafts a compelling narrative that immerses young readers in the rugged landscapes and untamed wilderness of America's frontier. This adventure novel combines vivid descriptions and engaging dialogue, drawing upon Grinnell's extensive knowledge of the natural world and indigenous cultures. The story follows young Jack as he embarks on a journey filled with exploration, challenges, and self-discovery, reflecting the themes of bravery, resilience, and the spirit of adventure that characterized American literature in the late 19th century. George Bird Grinnell was an influential figure in the conservation movement and a passionate advocate for the preservation of Native American cultures. His firsthand experiences as an explorer and naturalist informed his writing, imbuing it with authenticity and a deep appreciation for the wilderness. Grinnell's background as a co-founder of the Audubon Society and his relationships with various Native tribes enrich the narrative, making him uniquely qualified to depict both the beauty and complexity of the American West. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking an engaging tale that not only entertains but also educates about the natural world and cultural heritage. Grinnell'Äôs seamless blend of adventure and moral lessons makes it an essential read for young explorers and anyone interested in the rich tapestry of American history.

    A powerful novel by Carnegie Medal–winning author Beverley Naidoo that is in turns heart-wrenching, infuriating, and inspiring—and at its core, a call to readers to make a better world than they have found. 
    Adam and his sister, Leila, are Nons—second-class citizens, living under the Permitted ruling class. Though their life in the Stone City is filled with family, stories, and music, they must carefully follow the rules, have all paperwork on hand, and never, ever do anything to anger a Permitted. When their father unexpectedly dies, they are even restricted in how they are allowed to grieve.       
    Soon, Adam and Leila are back to school and practicing music again. But when Adam’s friend Zak plays a bold prank on a group of Permitted boys, and Adam is implicated in Zak’s “crime,” Adam knows their lives will never be the same again.

    A deeply personal middle-grade novel by award-winning author McCall Hoyle affirms the powerful and enduring relationship between dogs and humans. 
     
    Ripley, an aging German Shepherd Dog, spent her life guarding the wildlife refuge with Max, the best man she’s ever known. But that was before the accident, before he gave her one final job: “Take care of the girls.” 
     
    And Ripley has done just that—especially for Charlie, the girl Ripley loves even more than peanut butter. Ripley watches over Charlie with dedication, especially when faced with bullies who threaten the refuge. But Ripley is slowing down. She knows dogs don’t last forever. 
     
    Sensing their time together is running out, Charlie plans a farewell adventure filled with Ripley’s favorite things—fried chicken, sandpiper chasing on the beach, and ice cream in Nags Head. Through it all, they learn that love isn’t about holding hon—it’s about lifting each other up. 
     
    A heartwarming tribute to love, resilience, and the joy of a life well lived, Forever Ripley proves that even in goodbye, there is beauty, courage, and the promise of new beginnings.
