Sinossi

In "The Boy Scouts on War Trails in Belgium; Or, Caught Between Hostile Armies," Herbert active 1909-1917 Carter weaves a gripping narrative set against the backdrop of World War I, demonstrating the resilience and courage of youth amid chaos. The novel employs a straightforward yet evocative literary style, appealing to young readers through vivid descriptions and adventure-driven prose. Carter's work reflects the early 20th century's fascination with the Boy Scouts and their moral and physical fortitude, while also addressing the broader themes of friendship, bravery, and the harsh realities of conflict during a tumultuous period in European history. Herbert Carter, writing during the height of the Boy Scouts movement, encapsulated the spirit of the age as nations grappled with the implications of war. His experiences, as well as the prevailing attitudes towards patriotism and duty, profoundly influenced his storytelling. Carter sought to inspire a sense of adventure and resilience in young readers, forging a narrative that combined excitement with moral lessons pertinent to his time. This book is highly recommended for readers who appreciate historical adventure tales and are interested in the cultural and social contexts of early 20th-century literature. It not only engages young minds but also stimulates important discussions about the impact of war on youth and society.

    A fascinating look into the life and times of civil rights activist and journalist, Ida B. Wells. Born to slave parents in 1862, Ida became a teacher while still in her teens, later attending classes at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1883, she boarded a train in Memphis. The conductor informed her she would need to move to the blacks-only car, despite the Civil Rights Act of 1875 outlawing segregation such as this. After refusing, she was physically removed by three men. This marked Ida B. Well's transition from teacher to civil rights activist. Throughout her amazing adult life, she traveled throughout the country, and abroad, advocating for African American rights, publishing stories about the cause, and shedding light the horrors of lynching. While she married and had four children, she continued as one of the nation's leading activists, fighting for what she believed in until her death in 1931. Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Wells'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).

Kerry-Ann loves cricket - of course she does! Her Jamaican grandpa taught her to play as soon as she could hold a bat. Whenever she can, Kerry-Ann heads to the local club for a match with her friends.
But now some of the club's elite cricketers want to keep the ground for themselves - and keep out Kerry-Ann and her team. So Kerry-Ann devises a daring plan to beat the bullies - and she's about to gain inspiration from a very unexpected place.
In this time-slip tale with a touch of magic, Kerry-Ann finds out about the obstacles that her grandparents faced when they first arrived in England as part of the Windrush generation...and how she must follow in their footsteps to fight for fair play, and to keep enjoying the game that both she and her grandparents love.
A celebration of family, friendship, cricket, British Caribbean culture, Black British history and women's sport.

"I loved the use of language and the important aspects of history that I've been educated on…a really powerful portrayal of the horrific racism seen at the time and the bravery of those marching." The Primary Book Box – recommended books for primary teachers
