Sinopse

In "Dick Hamilton's Touring Car; Or, A Young Millionaire's Race For A Fortune," Howard Roger Garis masterfully captures the exuberant spirit of early 20th-century America through the eyes of a young millionaire, Dick Hamilton. The narrative is infused with adventure and excitement, reflecting the era's fascination with automobiles and the emerging culture of youth and wealth. Garis employs a straightforward yet engaging prose style that appeals to both young readers and adults, intertwining themes of ambition, friendship, and the moral dilemmas faced by the affluent in pursuit of their fortunes. Howard Roger Garis (1873-1939) was a prolific author best known for his contributions to children's literature and adventure stories. His background in journalism and his keen observation of society during an era of rapid technological change likely informed his portrayal of the quintessential American young adult. Garis often infused his characters with an entrepreneurial spirit, mirroring his own values, and emphasizing the importance of hard work and integrity amidst the temptations of wealth. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in historical fiction that celebrates the spirit of adventure and the dynamics of wealth in a rapidly evolving society. Garis's work not only entertains but also prompts reflection on the responsibilities that accompany affluence, making it a captivating read for both young adults and nostalgic readers alike.

    Seventh grader Freya June Sun has always believed in the Chinese superstitions spoon-fed to her since birth—but ever since her dad’s death a year ago, she’s become obsessed, believing that her father is sending her messages through signs from the beyond. Like how, on her way to an orchestra concert where she’s dreading her viola solo, a pair of lucky red birds appear, a sure indication that Dad wants Freya to stick with the instrument and make him proud. Then Freya is partnered with Gus Choi, a goofy and super annoying classmate, for a home-economics project. To her surprise, as they experiment with recipes and get to know each other, Freya finds that she loves baking much more than music. It may be time for a big change in her life, even though her dad hasn’t sent a single sign that it’s something he approves of. But with the help of her family, Gus (who might not be so annoying after all), and two maybe-magical birds, Freya learns that to be her own person, she might just have to make her own luck.

    This enduring anthem for Black girls celebrates their power, potential, and brilliance—for themselves and for the world. 
      
    You are a thousand curls 
      
    unfurling in your hair. 
      
    You are a thousand fists 
      
    standing proudly in air. 
      
      
    You are the song of swallows, 
      
    lifting sun as they sing— 
      
    breaking light with their beaks, 
      
    breaking sky with their wings … 
      
    Black girlhood is beautiful! In this deeply moving celebration and rallying cry, and in the face of the many messages that still work to convince Black girls that they should shrink themselves, hide their light, know their place, Brynne Barnes reclaims that narrative: A Black girl’s place is everywhere, and her selfhood is everything she can dream it to be. 
      
    With poignant, poetic prose, this empowering book centers the inherent worthiness and radiance of Black girls that is still far too often denied. A love letter to and for Black girls everywhere, Black Girl Rising alchemizes the sorrow and strength of the past into the brilliant gold of the future, sweeping young readers of all backgrounds into a lyrical exploration of what it means to be Black, female, and glorious.  
      
    EMPOWERS AND INSPIRES SELF-LOVE: This uplifting anthem of Black brilliance shuts out invalidating messages and replaces them with unconditional assertions of Black girls’ rights to be loved, to be inspired, and to exist fully in their power. Everything about Black girls deserves to be seen and celebrated—and this book provides a welcome opportunity for readers of all ages to do so!  
      
    EXCELLENT READ-ALOUD: Warm, loving sentiments paired with poetic prose and a light rhyme make this book a great choice to read aloud together at story time, bedtime, or any time. It’s sure to become a fast favorite and inspire countless moments of parent-child connection. 
      
    "… this work extols the beauty, bravery, and possibilities of young black girls. The author explores strong role models, female and male, from the past to inspire readers to envision the prospects of a glorious future. … [T]he rich vocabulary, flowing narrative, and specific word emphasis encourage[s] exuberant read-alouds."—School Library Journal
