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.

    Riley was an American writer known as the "Hoosier poet", and made a start writing newspaper verse in Hoosier dialect for the Indianapolis Journal in 1875. His favorite authors were Burns and Dickens. This collection of poems is a romanticized and mostly boy-centered paean to a 19th century rural American working-class childhood. (Summary by Val Grimm)

    The Psychic Megan Series consists of twenty-three novelettes about a young girl`s growing realisation that she is able to do things that none of her family can. Megan is twelve years old in the first volume. She has two seemingly insurmountable problems. Her mother is frightened of her daughter`s latent abilities and not only will not help her but actively discourages her; and she can’t find a teacher to help her develop her supernatural, psychic powers. For she wants not only to know what it is possible to do and how to do it, but to what end she should put her special abilities. Megan is a good girl, so it would seem obvious that she would tend towards using her powers for good, but it is not always easy to do the right thing even if you know what that is. 
    These stories about Megan will appeal to anyone who has an interest in psychic powers, the supernatural and the paranormal and is between the ages of ten and a hundred years old. 
    In Megan and the Old Lady, Megan is sheltering from a storm, when she sees an old lady struggling up the street with two large shopping bags. Our psychic teen rushes to help bring her into the shelter, and they start talking, which develops into a life-long friendship that has far-reaching effects on Megan’s life. Megan gets to see the world from a completely different perspective through the eyes of the first foreigner she has ever met.
