Sinopsis

In "Strive and Succeed; or, The Progress of Walter Conrad," Horatio Alger Jr. masterfully weaves a narrative that epitomizes the American dream through the lens of youthful perseverance and ambition. The novel features Walter Conrad, a young man who rises from humble beginnings to achieve success through hard work, determination, and moral integrity. Alger's writing style is characterized by its straightforward prose, didactic tone, and rich characterization, echoing the late 19th-century optimism that shaped American culture. Thematically, it resonates with the idea of 'rags to riches,' illustrating the virtues of resilience and virtue against the backdrop of an evolving industrial society, making it a quintessential example of the genre known as 'self-help literature.' Horatio Alger Jr., a prominent figure in American literature, dedicated much of his career to writing stories that inspired young readers to strive for success against all odds. Experiencing various hardships in his own life, including setbacks in his early career as a minister and the challenges of living in a rapidly changing society, Alger's personal experiences undoubtedly influenced his portrayal of determination and virtue in the face of adversity in his writings. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking both inspiration and insight into the enduring values of hard work and perseverance. "Strive and Succeed" not only provides entertainment but also serves as a motivational guide for young adults navigating their own paths towards success, making it a timeless read that encourages self-improvement and resilience.

    Yet again, Edie sets off on an exciting adventure, this time to discover who has been contacting her grandpa and why. Along the way, she visits Washington DC and the Outer Banks of North Carolina before a dramatic climax in Dartmoor.
    Can Edie uncover a hidden crime and bring the perpetrators to justice once agai
    Throughout the book and the series, Anthony explores how things are not always what they seem - how our 'thinking' often represents our imagined reality rather than what is necessarily true - and examines the nature of the link between thoughts and feelings. In so doing he gives readers the tools they need to understand their thoughts and emotions better and to connect with their inner wellbeing so that they can live happier, more fulfilled lives.

    In this Team Chu adventure, Vietnamese-American siblings Clip and Sadie Chu—and friends—must unearth the mystery behind a haunted Halloween carnival. 
     
    When Iggy Morales's stylish cat, Tuba, becomes famous on social media, he scores an invite to a star-studded pet fashion show at Spooky World. The family-friendly, Halloween-themed indoor carnival is the place to be on the last weekend in October, so of course Iggy brings all of his friends, including Clip and Sadie. The kids expect to ride thrilling rollercoasters, play games in the midway, and eat fried dough and candy apples, but they encounter a different kind of excitement instead: a ghost called the Weeping Lady, who has haunted Spooky World for decades, appears and asks for their help. 
     
    The Weeping Lady sends Iggy and his friends on a mysterious, action-packed scavenger hunt all over the sprawling theme park, giving them cryptic clues and communicating with Iggy’s seemingly clairvoyant cat, Tuba. If the kids can piece the story together and complete this wild ghost chase, they might just uncover the truth behind what really happened to Spooky World’s most infamous spirit.
