Summary

In "The Boy Ranchers of Puget Sound," Harold Bindloss transports readers to the lush landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, intertwining the adventures of young boys navigating the challenges of ranch life. His vivid prose captures the essence of region-specific themes while exploring the spirit of camaraderie and the complexity of growing up amidst nature's untamed beauty. Bindloss'Äôs narrative, characterized by a direct yet evocative style, reflects the influence of early 20th-century adventure literature aimed at younger audiences, providing a rich tapestry of character development and pastoral imagery that resonates with the socio-cultural ethos of the time. Harold Bindloss, a Canadian author with a passion for the outdoors, was deeply influenced by his experiences in frontier life and ranching. Having worked in various environments across Canada and the United States, Bindloss had firsthand insight into the trials faced by young individuals in rural settings. This background not only shaped his understanding of landscape and character but also informed his purpose in writing stories that would inspire and educate youth about responsibility, friendship, and resilience in the face of adversity. "The Boy Ranchers of Puget Sound" is an engaging read for those who cherish tales of adventure and growth. This novel serves both as an entertaining narrative and a thoughtful exploration of the bonds formed in the wake of youthful challenges. It is highly recommended for readers interested in classic literature that evokes a strong sense of place while offering timeless lessons on courage and camaraderie.

    Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep, 
    And can't tell where to find them; 
    Leave them alone, and they'll come home, 
    Bringing their tails behind them. 
    Little Bo-Peep fell fast asleep, 
    And dreamt she heard them bleating; 
    But when she awoke, she found it a joke, 
    For they were still all fleeting. 
     This beloved nursery rhyme tells a story that is both a bit scary (she lost her sheep!) and funny (they lost their tails!). The poor tiny girl, trying to do a job that is quite hard for her with her short legs, becomes bewildered. But help is there in the shape of an old lady who first plays a trick on her, telling her that her sheep have lost their tails and she must find them and somehow put them back on. The distraught little BoPeep searches everywhere and when she finally does find the missing tails discovers the joke. But all ends well when the old woman tells her she doesn't need to sew them on because they didn't have any tails to begin with. Everyone has a good laugh and BoPeep lovingly hugs each sheep as they 'come home, wagging their tails behind them.'

    This is the Māori language edition of Tāwhaki: The Deeds of a Demigod. The book recalls the miraculous life of Tāwhaki. Similar to Māui, Tāwhaki was a demigod who possessed mighty powers. Tāwhaki almost died at the hands of his brothers-in-law but was found by his wife Hine-piripiri and revived. This near-death experience revealed Tāwhaki's status as a demigod, and from this point Tāwhaki continued to use his powers and gifts to help those around him in ways no human could. This book explores many of these stories, including those of Tāwhaki restoring sight to his blind grandmother and climbing the heavens to find his wife and child.

    Your name is Fidge and you’re nearly eleven. You’ve been hurled into a strange world.
