Beschreibung

In "Peck's Bad Boy Abroad," George W. Peck masterfully continues the adventures of his beloved character, the mischievous "Bad Boy." This engaging work offers a delightful mix of humor and satire, presenting the escapades of the Bad Boy as he travels through Europe, encountering foreign customs and societal norms. Peck's distinctive style combines colloquial language with witty observations, blending elements of travel writing with the comedic genre. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, the book reflects a period of American expansionism and cultural curiosity, engaging with themes of identity and the contrasts between American and European sensibilities. George W. Peck, an influential humorist and writer of the turn-of-the-century American literary scene, draws upon his own experiences and observations from his travels. His background as a journalist and his understanding of the zeitgeist of a nation on the brink of modernity fuel his narratives. Peck's insights into both American life and international culture provide a rich tapestry that enhances the humorous misadventures of his protagonist. "Peck's Bad Boy Abroad" is a must-read for anyone seeking a lighthearted yet profound exploration of cultural differences and the spirit of adventure. Readers will enjoy Peck's sharp wit and engaging storytelling, making it a timeless classic that resonates with audiences even today.

    Sammie, a budding naturalist, knows of a secret and wonderful place: Winghaven, an abandoned lot in the middle of the suburbs where wildlife flourishes. She spends hours making notes and drawings in her meticulous field journal. When Bram, a new boy, turns up with his camera, Sammie worries he’ll give away her hidden haven—after all, the other boys at school bully her. But Bram is a scientist like Sammie, and together they observe tiny pond creatures, a pileated woodpecker with a red crest like a pirate’s bandana, and thriving monarch butterflies whose habitats are becoming scarce. When Sammie and Bram discover bright flagging tape encircling the trees, they learn Winghaven is in danger from a local developer—and it’s going to take courage, spirit, and science to save it. This beautifully written story, full of details about the natural world, includes Sammie’s field illustrations as well as real-life notes on keeping a nature journal, studying monarchs, and bird-watching.

    After a summer of feeling out of place at a fancy witch school, Hasani can’t wait to get back to the peace and normalcy of Riverbend Middle, where she knows all the rules and is destined to be captain of the Mathletes. There are a few little hiccups to work out—like how she’s going to tell her best  
    friend that she’s a witch—but even though the other two members of Hasani’s coven have joined her friend group and her school, there’s no reason to think that eighth grade won’t be smooth sailing … That is, until her former friend (and fellow witch) LaToya shows up. 
     
    LaToya is obviously up to something—beyond just turning all of Hasani’s friends against her. Strange things begin happening around the school, and Hasani is sure that LaToya is to blame. However, when Miss Lafleur comes to investigate the magic, she isn’t convinced that LaToya could have caused all  
    this chaos on her own—so Hasani sets out to prove it, and heads to the magic market, 3Thirteen, to find the tools she needs to do so. 
     
    But with all her focus on proving she’s right and learning more about her magic, is Hasani losing sight of the people and things that are most important to her?

    We can't tell you who we are.  Or where we live.  It's too risky, and we've got to be careful.  Really careful.  So we don't trust anyone.  Because if they find us...well, we just won't let them find us. The thing you should know is that everyone is in really big trouble.  Yeah.  Even you.__________________________________________________What would have happened if the Animorphs had never existed?  If Jake and the others had taken the long way home from the mall that night, instead of cutting through the abandoned construction site?  If they'd never met Elfangor.  Never rescued Ax.  Never heard of the Yeerks....Jake's finally weakened.  After one particularly grisly battle, the Drode hits him when he's down and offers the Animorphs' leader an escape from the terrifying pressure.  He'll take Jake back to the mall and reverse the decision that started the Animorphs.  It's an offer Jake's too tired to refuse.  Now there's no morphing, no missions, and no knowledge of anything out of the ordinary on Earth.  That is, until out-of-the-ordinary things start happening.  That's when Jake, Rachel, Tobias, Cassie, Marco, and Ax are forced to deal, not with what would have been, but what is their awful new reality.
