Sinopsis

Horatio Jr. Alger's novel 'Rufus and Rose; Or, The Fortunes of Rough and Ready' is a seminal work of American children's literature, typical of the rags-to-riches theme prevalent in Alger's writing. The story follows the journey of Rufus and Rose, two orphaned siblings navigating the challenges of poverty and adversity in pursuit of success and fortune. Alger's straightforward narrative style and emphasis on moral values make the book accessible to young readers while imparting important life lessons. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century America, the novel reflects the societal ideals of hard work, perseverance, and the belief in the American Dream. Alger's portrayal of characters as virtuous and determined individuals sets the tone for a heartwarming tale of triumph over obstacles. Horatio Jr. Alger, known for his prolific output of similar tales of success and self-improvement, drew inspiration from his own experiences as a minister and social reformer to craft stories that resonate with readers of all ages. 'Rufus and Rose' serves as a timeless reminder of the power of resilience and optimism in the face of hardship, making it a must-read for anyone seeking inspiration and motivation in their own pursuit of success.

And then they have the best breakfast ever . . . almost.A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2016A Mississippi Clarion-Ledger Bestseller “This is a child’s imagination come to life, where a good thing can be the greatest thing in existence and a minor inconvenience snowballs into the most horrendous, atrocious, appalling, not good, very bad meal you’ve ever had.” —San Francisco Book Review “Miéville and Smith’s dialogue is fantastic: witty, smart, with great rhythm that doesn’t sacrifice artful turns of phrase to reach for an internal rhyme . . . A brilliant, original, infinitely rereadable book that can sit alongside Sendak and Dahl.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Miéville lets it rip in this stomping, howling rant about a bad meal of legendary proportions.” —Publishers Weekly “Imaginative and fun, The Worst Breakfast is perfect for any picky eater out there. A rhyming scheme and inventive text kept up the giggles and the pace.” —100 Pages a Day “Deftly written by the exceptionally talented China Miéville and shockingly but gifted illustrated by Zak Smith, The Worst Breakfast is a unique picture book that will be enduringly popular . . .

    Sixteen-year-old Pippa Greene never goes anywhere without her camera. She and her best friend/supermodel-in-training Dace long ago mapped out their life plan: Pippa will be the noted fashion photographer, and Dace the cover girl. But ever since last spring, things have changed for Pippa, and her junior year at Spalding High proves to have its own set of challenges. Not only is Vantage Point, the statewide photography competition, in three short weeks, but her mandatory volunteering placement lands her at St. Christopher's Hospital, a place Pippa never wanted to set foot in again. With humor and pluck, she navigates her new role as a candy striper (watch out for Code Yellows), her changing relationship with her best friend (goodbye, Honesty Pact), and, perhaps most stressful of all, her new love interests (yes, love interests plural). Will Pippa make it to Vantage Point without having a panic attack? Will either one of the guys prove less sketchy than her last boyfriend? Can she and Dace figure out a way to dream big and be best friends? One thing is certain: real life is a lot more complicated than a photograph.
