Synopsis

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.

    #1 New York Times Bestseller: Two teens are pulled into a mysterious realm in a story with “an irresistible mix of adventure, humor, and magic” (Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series). 
     
    Jason Walker has often wished his life could be a bit less predictable—until a routine day at the zoo ends with Jason suddenly transporting from the hippo tank to a place unlike anything he’s ever seen. In the past, the people of Lyrian welcomed visitors from the Beyond, but attitudes have changed since the wizard emperor Maldor rose to power. The brave resisters who opposed the emperor have been bought off or broken, leaving a realm where fear and suspicion prevail. 
     
    In his search for a way home, Jason meets Rachel, who was also mysteriously drawn to Lyrian from our world. With the help of a few scattered rebels, Jason and Rachel become entangled in a quest to piece together the word of power that can destroy the emperor—and learn that their best hope to find a way home will be to save this world without heroes.
