Synopsis

In "Uncle Sam's Boys with Pershing's Troops," H. Irving Hancock crafts a compelling narrative that intertwines adventure, patriotism, and the historical context of World War I. This thrilling tale follows the exploits of Dick Prescott and his comrades as they face the challenges of war in Europe. Hancock's writing is marked by vivid descriptions and a fast-paced style, capturing the urgency and camaraderie of soldiers while reflecting early 20th-century American sensibilities. The novel is a product of the post-World War I literary movement, where authors sought to engage a youthful audience in themes of bravery and national duty amidst the backdrop of global conflict. H. Irving Hancock was a prominent American writer known for his contributions to boys'Äô adventure literature. He was deeply influenced by the spirit of the early 1900s, a time when the United States played an increasingly crucial role on the world stage. His experiences as a journalist and his commitment to instilling moral values in youth informed his narratives, including this portrayal of American boys stepping into the larger world through military service and sacrifice. "Uncle Sam's Boys with Pershing's Troops" is a must-read for those interested in historical fiction and the portrayal of American values in literature. It serves not only as an engaging adventure story but also as a historical document that reflects the aspirations and sentiments of the time, making it a valuable addition to any library.

    Magic. Secrets. Forbidden love 
    Her fate lies just one world away… 
    “Remember that dagger I gave you yesterday?” 
    How could she forget the dagger—a token of her missing mother? Had it only been yesterday? It felt as if the whole world had changed overnight. As a matter of fact, it hadn’t. But instead of one world, now there were two. 
    A walk through her new neighborhood is all sixteen-year-old Maray had in mind. But she is ripped from her life by mysterious, handsome Jemin, who looks at her like he is about to either kiss her or kill her—both of which Maray is so not okay with. 
    As he takes her through a portal to Allinan, a world that should mean more to Maray than she is aware of, she must fight her path through intrigues and secrets lurking between shining armor, magic, and blood-lusting monsters. If only she wouldn’t look like an exact copy of the Queen of Allinan… A queen who would sacrifice anything to stay in power—even her own family. 
    As Maray embarks on a journey to unweave the mysteries that tie her to this magical world, she must rely on Jemin’s reluctant aid or risk never finding her way home. 
    Two Worlds is bestselling author Angelina J. Steffort's young adult fantasy series about forbidden love, loss, and court intrigue, that keeps readers on the edge of their seats with its fast paced, action packed style.
