Beschreibung

In "A Struggle for a Fortune," Harry Castlemon weaves a tale of resilience and determination against the backdrop of mid-19th century America. The novel, characterized by its straightforward yet engaging narrative style, captures the ethos of the era where the pursuit of wealth often clashed with moral dilemmas. Through richly drawn characters and vivid descriptions of both rural landscapes and burgeoning towns, Castlemon expertly explores themes of ambition, family loyalty, and the inherent struggles of achieving the elusive American Dream. Castlemon, known for his deep appreciation of American frontier life and children'Äôs literature, draws on his own experiences and observations to infuse authenticity into his writing. His background as a popular novelist of adventure tales for young readers informs his ability to craft accessible yet thought-provoking narratives. This novel, written in an era when the concept of self-made men was increasingly celebrated, reflects his engagement with the prevailing ideas of success and societal expectations. Readers seeking an insightful journey into the American psyche during a transformative period will find "A Struggle for a Fortune" a compelling addition to their literary explorations. Castlemon'Äôs immersive storytelling not only entertains but also challenges one to reflect on the values intertwined with the pursuit of fortune. This book is an essential read for anyone intrigued by the paradoxes of ambition and morality.

    In this debut spooky adventure, Jerry and her trusty wheelchair move into a creepy motel at the edge of the woods where nothing is as it seems. When her mom disappears, it’s up to Jerry to brave the forest and its demons so she can save what’s left of her family. 
    Ever since her dad died, 11-year-old Jerry Blum and her mom have bounced around dead-end towns, staying in a series of rundown motels where her mother picks up housekeeping work and Jerry can get around in her wheelchair.  
    But the Slumbering Giant motel is different. Lights blink on and off in the surrounding trees, a mysterious radio station plays only at midnight, and people disappear into the woods, never to been seen again. Not to mention that Jerry’s mom keeps vanishing to do “special work” that she refuses to discuss. When her mother doesn’t come home one morning, Jerry springs into action. 
    Luckily, she’s not alone. Paul, a pocket-size imaginary dragon, and Chapel, a new friend with a penchant for the supernatural, join Jerry’s search for her missing mom. But along the way Jerry discovers her mother’s terrible secret: she’s not a housekeeper at all; in fact, she’s been defending the town from demons that have been haunting it for generations. 
    Armed with nothing but a Ren Faire sword and a backpack, Jerry and her friends venture into the forbidden woods to save Jerry’s mother. But the “demons” hiding there aren’t what they seem, and Jerry must unravel the truth behind the town’s legend, or risk losing what’s left of her family.
