Sinopse

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.

    This story of two girls trying to banish a witch is “full of wonderful fun, excitement, and humor” (Library Journal).   Old Witch likes nothing better than to fly around on her broomstick, crying “Heh-heh!” and casting abracadabras. But now she has been sent away . . . by two young girls.   Amy and Clarissa have decided that Old Witch is just too mean and wicked. So, drawing a rickety old house upon a barren glass hill, they exile Old Witch there with a warning: She better be good, or else no Halloween! But to give Old Witch some company, they draw her a Little Witch Girl and a Weeny Witch Baby . . .   Old Witch tries to be good, but anyone would get up to no good in a place as lonely as the glass hill. And Amy and Clarissa are about to find that out, when Old Witch magics them into her world of make-believe-made-real, in “a very special book that is certain to give boundless pleasure—at any time of the year” (The Horn Book).   “A classic for Halloween.” —Library Journal
