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.

    The World That Couldn't Be by Clifford D. Simak - Like every farmer on every planet, Duncan had to hunt down anything that damaged his crops—even though he was aware this was—The World That Couldn’t Be 
    The tracks went up one row and down another, and in those rows the vua plants had been sheared off an inch or two above the ground. The raider had been methodical; it had not wandered about haphazardly, but had done an efficient job of harvesting the first ten rows on the west side of the field. Then, having eaten its fill, it had angled off into the bush—and that had not been long ago, for the soil still trickled down into the great pug marks, sunk deep into the finely cultivated loam. 
    Somewhere a sawmill bird was whirring through a log, and down in one of the thorn-choked ravines, a choir of chatterers was clicking through a ghastly morning song. It was going to be a scorcher of a day. Already the smell of desiccated dust was rising from the ground and the glare of the newly risen sun was dancing off the bright leaves of the hula-trees, making it appear as if the bush were filled with a million flashing mirrors. 
    Gavin Duncan hauled a red bandanna from his pocket and mopped his face. 
    "No, mister," pleaded Zikkara, the native foreman of the farm. "You cannot do it, mister. You do not hunt a Cytha." 
    "The hell I don't," said Duncan, but he spoke in English and not the native tongue. 
    He stared out across the bush, a flat expanse of sun-cured grass interspersed with thickets of hula-scrub and thorn and occasional groves of trees, criss-crossed by treacherous ravines and spotted with infrequent waterholes. 
    It would be murderous out there, he told himself, but it shouldn't take too long. The beast probably would lay up shortly after its pre-dawn feeding and he'd overhaul it in an hour or two. But if he failed to overhaul it, then he must keep on.

    For fans of Captain Underpants or Sideways Stories from Wayside School, this new chapter book series is perfect for reluctant readers. 
    When famous agent Lucy LaRoux drops by Classroom 13, she makes an offer no one can refuse–she makes all of the students FAMOUS. 
    You might think this was sweet, but it was not. It was selfish. (Lucy wants their money.) With great fame comes frightening stage fright, broken bones, rotten reality television, and other awful accidents. As the students of Classroom 13 are about to learn, being famous (or infamous) isn't always fun.  
    What do YOU want to be famous for? The final chapter of each book encourages young readers to write their OWN chapter and send it in to the author, Honest Lee. 
    The Fantastic and Terrible Fame of Classroom 13 is the third title in a new chapter book series of hilarious stories about a very unlucky classroom. Each story is full of humor, action, and fun that will prompt hours of conversation among friends, families, and classrooms. 
    (Psst!  Hey you.  Yeah, YOU!  Just between us, this book also has a secret code hidden in every book that kids will have to figure out to read a chapter.  Kids'll love it!)

    Animal stories for kids: Coyote Peterson's Brave Adventures: Wild Animals in a Wild World chronicles some of the wildest encounters Coyote Peterson has had over the course of his travels. The stories begin with his first snapping turtle catch as a kid and lead down a trail of incredible moments he and his camera crew have had while filming their Brave Wilderness shows. From a giant alligator that nearly caught Coyote in its bone-crushing jaws, to an 800-pound grizzly bear that helped him teach the audience what to do and not do if you ever encounter one of these enormous predators in the wild, every tale is laced with fast-paced action and daring adventure. 
    With the presence of danger often looming for Coyote, each story reminds the listener that animals rule the wild places of this planet, and if we respect them from a safe distance, even the most frightening creatures are more likely to be afraid of us than we should ever be of them. 
    Exciting animal stories for kids of all ages: This collection of short stories aims to give the listener a first-person perspective into some of Coyote's most harrowing and heartwarming adventures.
