Sinopsis

In "The Camp Fire Girls Go Motoring; Or, Along the Road That Leads the Way," Hildegard G. Frey weaves a vibrant tale that combines adventure, self-discovery, and the spirit of teamwork within a picturesque American landscape. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the narrative employs a straightforward yet engaging prose style characteristic of youth literature of the time, interlaced with descriptive passages that evoke the thrill of the open road. The story follows a group of young girls, united by their shared enthusiasm for travel and exploration, as they embark on a transformative journey that not only tests their driving skills but also fortifies their camaraderie and personal growth. In doing so, Frey effectively captures the essence of progressive girlhood and the burgeoning autonomy of women in the early automobile culture. Hildegard G. Frey, an influential figure in children's literature, crafted stories that celebrate adventure and independence, likely drawing on her own experiences and observations from a rapidly changing society. Her background in education and work with youth organizations profoundly shaped her understanding of young readers' aspirations and challenges. By infusing her narratives with themes of empowerment and resilience, Frey sought to inspire young girls to embrace their potential amidst a world filled with new opportunities and societal expectations. "The Camp Fire Girls Go Motoring" is a delightful read that appeals not only to young audiences but also to adults interested in the evolution of gender roles in early 20th-century literature. Its blend of adventure and valuable life lessons invites readers to reflect on friendship, self-reliance, and the importance of forging one's path. This book is a testament to the enduring legacy of girls' literature and remains a significant exploration of youth and empowerment, urging every reader to hit the road toward their destinies.

    Drawing on extensive historical and anthropological research, personal accounts, and interviews with people who work in the funeral industry, Penny Colman examines the compelling subjects of death and burial across cultures and societies. The text, enriched with stories both humorous and poignant, includes details about the decomposition and embalming processes (an adult corpse buried six feet deep without a coffin will usually take five to ten years to turn into a skeleton) and describes the various customs associated with containing remains (the Igala people in Nigeria have a custom of burying people in as many as twenty-seven layers of clothing). Intriguing facts are revealed at every turn; for example, in Madagascar winter was considered the corpse-turning season.This comprehensive book also includes a list of burial sites of famous people, images in the arts associated with death, fascinating epitaphs and gravestone carvings, a chronology and a glossary, and over a hundred black-and-white photographs, most of which were taken by the author.Penny Colman writes with compassion and intelligence and humanizes the difficult subjects of death and burial. The result is a powerful look at an inevitable part of life--death.

    First in the New York Times–bestselling series! “A world in which humans and fairy-tale creatures live side-by-side . . . Madcap adventure.” —School Library Journal   Orphaned sisters Sabrina and Daphne are sent to live with their newly discovered grandmother, Relda Grimm, in the strange town of Ferryport Landing. The girls soon learn a family secret: that they are descendants of the famous Brothers Grimm, whose book of fairy tales is actually a history book and whose characters are still alive in Ferryport, New York.   When a terrorizing giant goes on a rampage through the town, it’s up to the Sisters Grimm to stop him and to solve the mystery of who set the giant loose in the first place. Was it corrupt Mayor Charming, formerly Prince Charming, who desperately wants his kingdom back? The Three Not-So-Little Pigs, the shifty town cops? Or Snow White or Jack the Giant Killer or one of the many other fairy-tale characters who seem to have it out for the young sisters Grimms?   Fast paced, with familiar characters in new surroundings and adventure, and cleverly inserted vocabulary lessons, this book, and this series, are special for young readers.   This anniversary edition of the beloved Sisters Grimm series is the perfect opportunity for existing fans to revisit the adventures of the Grimm family and for new readers to discover the magic of the series for the first time.  “Kids will love Sabrina and Daphne’s adventures as much as I did.” —Sarah Michelle Gellar, star of Buffy the Vampire Slayer  “Adventure, laughs, and surprises kept me eagerly turning the pages.” —R. L. Stine, New York Times–bestselling author of the Goosebumps series
