Sinossi

In "Dick Hamilton's Cadet Days; Or, The Handicap of a Millionaire's Son," Howard Roger Garis explores the coming-of-age journey of young Dick Hamilton, who grapples with the duality of wealth and personal integrity. Set against the backdrop of a military academy, Garis deftly intertwines elements of adventure and moral dilemmas within a narrative that reflects early 20th-century American values. His prose, both lively and accessible, captures the camaraderie of cadet life while addressing the social challenges faced by a privileged youth striving for authenticity in a world that often equates riches with happiness. Howard Roger Garis, an American author known for his children'Äôs literature and adventure tales, drew inspiration from his own experiences and the social milieu of his time. His background as a journalist and an avid storyteller allowed him to frame Dick's struggles not merely as personal challenges, but also as a critique of the societal expectations placed upon sons of the affluent. Garis's commitment to infusing moral lessons into his narratives showcases his belief in character development over the mere pursuit of fortune. This novel is an essential read for those interested in adventure literature or discussions of privilege and character building. Garis'Äôs insightful portrayal of youth, resilience, and the quest for identity offers timeless lessons to readers of all ages, making it a must-have in any literary collection.

God instructs Noah to build an ark in order to save the animals, and the people that want to be saved. However, the people mocked him because they have never seen rain, lightning, or witness the sound of thunder. Nevertheless, he gathers all the animals into groups of two, but when it comes to the mighty dinosaurs they don't want to board the ark because they foolishly believe the floods won't be able to destroy them. Will Noah be able to convince them to board the ark or will the dinosaurs be destroyed forever? Listen this amazing audiobook and find out.
