The Boy Scouts Along the Susquehanna; or The Silver Fox Patrol Caught in a Flood - Surviving Nature's Fury: A Boy Scout Adventure

Herbert Carter

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In 'The Boy Scouts Along the Susquehanna; or, The Silver Fox Patrol Caught in a Flood,' Herbert Carter crafts a vivid adventure narrative that intertwines the themes of brotherhood, nature, and resilience. Set against the backdrop of the Susquehanna River, the story follows the Silver Fox Patrol as they navigate unexpected challenges wrought by a sudden flood. Carter employs a straightforward yet engaging literary style, utilizing rich, descriptive language that evokes the beauty and peril of the natural environment. The context of early 20th-century America, where the Boy Scouts movement gained prominence, informs the book'Äôs ethos, reflecting ideals of outdoor skills, teamwork, and moral fortitude in the face of adversity. Herbert Carter, active between 1909 and 1917, emerged as a significant voice within the juvenile adventure fiction genre. His interest in outdoor life and scouting values likely stemmed from the broader cultural enthusiasm for the Boy Scouts, which emphasized self-reliance and ethical conduct during a time of social change. Carter's narratives often celebrate the courageous spirit of youth, drawing from his own experiences in the scout movement, thereby rendering his stories both believable and inspirational. I highly recommend this captivating tale to readers of all ages who appreciate adventure and outdoor exploration. 'The Boy Scouts Along the Susquehanna' not only entertains but also imparts timeless lessons about friendship and bravery, making it an essential read for anyone drawn to the transformative power of nature and camaraderie.

Winnie Nash Is Not Your Sunshine

Nicole Melleby

In this powerful novel by an award-winning author, 12-year-old Winnie Nash is forced to live with her grandma for the summer and finds herself torn between her family’s secrets and the joy of celebrating Pride. Winnie Nash never used to have so many secrets. But then she agreed to stay with her grandma for the summer so her mom can take care of her health during her latest pregnancy. Now Winnie plays card games with Grandma’s friends (boring), joins the senior citizen book club (fine, even if no one thinks she’ll read the books), and absolutely does not talk about her mom’s sad days (she never used to be so sad…). The biggest secret is that her parents asked Winnie not to mention she’s gay to Grandma. And there’s a really cute girl who also hangs out with the senior citizens. What happens if Grandma notices just how much Winnie likes Pippa? The longer Winnie hides the truth, the more she longs to be surrounded by her LGBTQ+ community and the more she feels like the only place she can be herself is at New York City’s Pride celebration. Winnie decides she’ll get to Pride, one way or another. But is this just one more secret she has to keep?

The 5 Stages of Grief - A...

Behnay Books

The 5 Stages of Grief 
Grief is a universal and inevitable part of life. Everyone will experience grief at some point in their lives. Grief can be due to the death of a loved one, a loss of a job, or any other event that causes significant distress. Grief can be overwhelming, and it can take time to recover from it. However, grief is a natural process that is essential for growth and development. 
It is hard to cope with the death of a loved one. Grief can be a difficult emotion to overcome, but it is important to remember that everyone goes through different stages of grief. There are many ways to cope with loss, and there is no right or wrong way to react. It is important to find what works best for you and your family. 
There is no one answer to overcoming the grieving process, but understanding it is key. According to The 5 Stages of Grief, there are five stages that a person goes through after a loss: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Each stage has its own challenges and needs that must be addressed in order to move on. However, by recognizing these early signs and addressing them head-on, most people can overcome their grief and move on with their lives.
