Sinossi

In "Frank in the Woods," Harry Castlemon presents a captivating narrative that interweaves adventure, friendship, and moral growth within the American wilderness. The story is characterized by its vivid descriptions and accessible prose, reflecting the late 19th-century literary style that appeals to both adolescent and adult readers. Castlemon's work serves as a quintessential example of the boys' adventure genre, echoing the sensibilities of his contemporaries while grounding the narrative in themes of independence and self-discovery. As Frank navigates the challenges of the forest, he encounters various characters and scenarios that challenge his values and forge his identity. Harry Castlemon, known for his mastery of adventure tales for young readers, draws on his own experiences in the outdoors to infuse authenticity into his storytelling. Educated in an era where nature was revered and exploration celebrated, Castlemon channels the ethos of rugged individualism and moral fortitude that defined American frontier life. His background as a writer for youth publications further refined his ability to engage younger audiences with relatable and inspiring characters. "Frank in the Woods" is highly recommended for readers seeking an exhilarating yet meaningful exploration of youth and maturity. Castlemon'Äôs deft narrative not only entertains but also imparts valuable life lessons, making it an ideal read for those interested in the complexities of growing up amidst nature's grandeur.

    “Well-crafted . . . Endearing.”—Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books 
    “A second cup of enchantment best savored slowly.”—Kirkus Reviews 
    Deep in the redwoods, in a magical town, anything can happen, and any creature—or monster—could exist. But when a team of myth-busters comes to Aldermere, they threaten its very existence—and eleven-year-old Fin will do anything to protect her home. For fans of Nevermoor and Amari and the Night Brothers, Emily Lloyd-Jones’s sequel to the acclaimed Unseen Magic is a story of trusting yourself and finding the friends who believe in you, no matter what. 
    Aldermere is a town with its own set of rules: there’s a tea shop that vanishes if you try to force your way in, crows that must be fed or they’ll go through your trash, and a bridge that has a toll that no one knows the cost of. Some say that there may even be bigfoots wandering through the woods. 
    It’s been six months since Fin saved Aldermere from someone intent on exploiting its magic. With spring break just around the corner, Fin’s plans are to relax, try to train her new raven friend, and read some of the mystery books she loves. But her plans are derailed when she and her friends find a baby bigfoot who’s been separated from her pack. 
    Then a film crew shows up, intending to add Aldermere to their web show debunking strange and magical legends. Fin can’t let the film crew put the bigfoot—and Aldermere—at risk. Now Fin, Eddie, and Cedar must keep the bigfoot hidden and find a way to track down her family. But Cedar’s been hiding a secret of her own; one that may complicate everything. 
    As monsters, friends, and enemies collide, Fin, Eddie, and Cedar have to trust one another with secrets both good and bad if they’re going to save the town they all love. 
    Emily Lloyd-Jones crafts a novel infused with magic that is sometimes wonderful and charming—and sometimes dangerous. The sequel to Indie Next Pick Unseen Magic, Unspoken Magic is perfect for fans of Christina Soontornvat’s A Wish in the Dark and Claribel A. Ortega’s Ghost Squad.
