Sinopse

Horatio Jr. Alger's 'A Boy's Fortune; Or, The Strange Adventures of Ben Baker' is a quintessential example of 19th-century American literature, following the path of a young protagonist as he navigates a world of challenges and opportunities. Alger's straightforward narrative style and focus on moral development make this book an engaging read for both young adults and mature readers. Set against the backdrop of the Industrial Revolution in America, 'A Boy's Fortune' highlights the themes of hard work, perseverance, and the power of a positive attitude in the face of adversity. Alger's portrayal of the American Dream resonates with readers to this day, making this novel a timeless classic. Horatio Jr. Alger, known for his rags-to-riches stories, drew inspiration from his own experiences as a minister and social activist. His belief in the inherent goodness of individuals and the possibility of upward mobility through determination shines through in 'A Boy's Fortune,' making it a compelling and thought-provoking read. I highly recommend 'A Boy's Fortune; Or, The Strange Adventures of Ben Baker' to anyone interested in exploring themes of morality, ambition, and the pursuit of success in the American landscape.

    The Uncomfortable Glass Slippers sees a reluctant Sabrina Summers and her friends returning to the strange land of Dralfynia after Witchy Wu follows them to their high school.  In the sequel to The Uncooperative Flying Carpet, The Uncomfortable Glass Slippers shows Sabrina Summers as Prince Charming, her brother, Rory, is Baby Bear, and her friends, Persis and Olive, are Sleeping Beauty and Goldilocks. They learn that they need to find the magic glass slippers and take them and Ruggy, the uncooperative flying carpet, to the Island of Merthyr. Before that can happen, the friends encounter more goblins, a very smelly shoe museum, a terrifying were-dragon, and make unlikely friends with a pair of sisters desperate to marry any prince.  Once again, they use the skills that are unique to their fairytale characters and Sabrina’s courage and resourcefulness are pushed to the limit. To add to the drama, they discover that the real Cinderella has been imprisoned by the Beast with Eight Fingers in a case of seriously-mistaken identity, so they need to rescue her as well – all within three short days. By the end of The Uncomfortable Glass Slippers, Sabrina knows who she can trust, who has betrayed her, and what she needs to do next.

    Three teens investigate a mysterious death to break a curse, escape dark forces, and do the right thing in this suspenseful tale for middle schoolers. For as long as the Vickery twins can remember, Lee and his mother have served Memory, while Felix and his father assist Death. This is the Agreement. But one Halloween, Gretchen Whipple smashes her way into their lives. Her bargain is simple: If the twins help her solve the murder of local girl Essie Hasting, she’ll help them break the Agreement.  The more the three investigate, however, the more they realize that something’s gone terribly wrong in their town. Death is on the loose, and if history repeats itself, Essie’s might not be the last murder in Poplar Wood . . .  Simultaneously heartwarming and delightfully spooky, The House in Poplar Wood is a story about a boy’s desire to be free, a girl’s desire to make a difference, and a family’s desire to be together again. Praise for The House in Poplar Wood“With expert pacing and detailed worldbuilding, the story unfurls into a smart, thrilling mystery, equal parts dark and gentle, that explores questions about freedom, power, and choosing one’s master.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review“The suspenseful plot is unspooled slowly, but the magical elements, evocative, intelligent writing, and ever ratcheting suspense keep it interesting.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review“The foreboding atmosphere perfectly matches the dark mystery and high stakes confronting the middle-schoolers.” —Booklist “A breathtaking and elegant tale with vivid prose, a spooky setting, and a fiercely determined group of unlikely friends. Will have readers flipping pages late into the night.” —Ashley Herring Blake, acclaimed author of Ivy Aberdeen’s Letter to the World
