Sinossi

In 'Little Meg's Children' by Hesba Stretton, readers are transported to a heartwarming tale of a resilient young woman caring for a group of orphans in Victorian England. Stretton's writing style is characterized by its emotional depth and moral teachings, making this book a classic example of Victorian children's literature. Through the challenges faced by Little Meg, readers are taken on a journey of faith, love, and sacrifice that resonates with timeless themes of family and community. The vivid descriptions and intimate portrayals of the characters make this book an engaging and thought-provoking read, perfect for both young readers and adults interested in historical fiction. Hesba Stretton, a pseudonym for Sarah Smith, was a 19th-century British author known for her philanthropic work and contributions to the genre of children's literature. Her experiences working with impoverished children inspired her to write 'Little Meg's Children,' reflecting her passion for social issues and the welfare of the less fortunate. Stretton's deep empathy and understanding of human nature shine through in her writing, making her a beloved author of her time. I highly recommend 'Little Meg's Children' to readers seeking a touching and insightful story that explores the complexities of family, love, and community. Stretton's timeless themes and engaging narrative style make this book a valuable addition to any literary collection, offering a glimpse into the social concerns of Victorian England while still resonating with modern readers.

    In the first of this series, Jazz’s older brother plays the straight man during the evening’s antics in Book of Bad Manners. Jazz and her Uncle Mark one up each other’s bad manners during Uncle Mark’s dinner while her older brother stews over the full report expected by their mom. Culminating in the best worst bad manner, this book is sure to be either the most refreshing or most raucous story on the bookshelf. 
Spattered with irreverence and touched with ingenuity, this illustrated series featuring Jazz and her older brother has the feel of an instant classic. Gratefully, Laura Teste, in her author-illustrator debut, has included tongue-in-cheek nods to the lucky adults in the room. For the inquisitive-can’t-sit-still children, her series is sure to capture their attention and whet their appetite for more. 
I can confidently promise that you cannot imagine all the bad manners displayed by the characters in this short book. The plot was simply ingenious. – Five Star Review by Readers’ Favorites

    A hilarious biography from YouTube sensation Caspar Lee (and his mom)! This is an audio-book about me.>Unfortunately, I didn't write it – my mom did. WTF!Let me tell you now that 98% of it is total lies. Actually, I'm pretty sure this book is illegal. So if you've bought it, you've basically supported a criminal. How does that feel?I think she's getting me back for my first day in this world when I may have tried to kill her. She won't not be able to mention that. You might also find out about my first day at school, why my head is so massive, how I've always been a hit with the ladies and other things like that.You know, important stuff. Anyway, I found the book at the printer and you'll see I've corrected some of her most outrageous lies.So, you know, enjoy. Just remember only the bits that make me look good are true...A Hachette Audio production.
