Sinopsis

In "Oscar in Africa," Harry Castlemon melds adventure and youthful exuberance in a captivating narrative that follows the intrepid exploits of Oscar, a spirited protagonist who traverses the vibrant landscapes of Africa. The author employs a vivid, descriptive literary style that immerses readers in the cultural richness and diverse fauna of the continent, while also employing an engaging first-person perspective that draws the reader into the heart of Oscar's thrilling journey. This novel is framed within the context of late 19th-century American literature, which sought to both educate and entertain a young audience about foreign lands, instilling a sense of curiosity and a spirit of exploration. Harry Castlemon, a prolific writer known for his works aimed at young readers, drew from his experiences as a naturalist and his extensive travels to craft this tale. His intimate knowledge of plants, animals, and geography informs the narrative, enriching the story'Äôs authenticity and providing a window into the lesser-known aspects of Africa. Castlemon's passion for storytelling was likely fueled by his desire to inspire a sense of wonder about the world in the minds of young adventurers. "Oscar in Africa" is a delightful read not only for children but also for any adult who wishes to reminisce about the spirit of adventure that characterizes youth. Castlemon's evocative prose and relatable characters ensure that readers will find themselves captivated and inspired to explore the world beyond their horizons, making this work a must-read for adventure enthusiasts and budding naturalists alike.

    A detailed chronicle of the career of the late 1800s trailblazing investigative reporter, Nellie Bly. A letter to the Editor of The Pittsburgh Dispatch turned into a position of journalist with the paper. She tackled tough societal issues, unheard of from woman in those days. However, the businesses she exposed threatened to pull advertising, so she was moved to cover topics deemed more appropriate for a woman. She ultimately became a freelance journalist and later moved to New York and worked as an investigative reporter for New York World, often going undercover, or as it was called then, being a "stunt reporter". She also reported on her 72-day trip around the world. The biography details her marriage to a business tycoon, her time as President of the company and her ultimate return to journalism. Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Bly's story. Archival photographs, drawings, and paintings are chronologically arranged, adding visual context to her remarkable life and career, as well as the inclusion of further reading and website recommendations, maps, glossary, and index. Content developed for young readers, interest level grades 4-6 (reading level, grade 5).
