Synopsis

Ingersoll Lockwood's "The Adventures of Baron Trump (Illustrated)" is a captivating blend of whimsical fantasy and satirical social commentary, originally published in the 1890s. Through the lens of a young nobleman, Baron Trump, the narrative embarks on a series of imaginative explorations through fantastical lands populated by eccentric characters. Lockwood's prose is characterized by a playful yet incisive tone, inviting readers into a richly illustrated world that merges the absurd with the profound, reflecting the Victorian fascination with exploration and the human psyche. This adventurous tale not only entertains but also critiques the societal norms of Lockwood's time, resonating with themes of class, identity, and the pursuit of knowledge in a rapidly changing world. Ingersoll Lockwood, an American lawyer and writer, was influenced by the socio-political climate of the late 19th century, an era marked by industrial growth and shifting social structures. His unique background, along with his affinity for the fantastical, fueled his imaginative storytelling, allowing him to create a narrative that was as thought-provoking as it was entertaining. Lockwood's works often explore themes of adventure, curiosity, and the pursuit of one's true self, mirroring his own life experiences of exploration in various realms. Readers are encouraged to delve into "The Adventures of Baron Trump (Illustrated)" not only for its engaging narrative but also for the thought-provoking reflections it offers on the nature of adventure and identity. This timeless classic invites both young and adult readers to reconsider their own journeys in a world rife with challenges and marvels. Lockwood's imaginative storytelling and vibrant illustrations make this edition a must-read for lovers of adventure, fantasy, and historical literature.

    “We need books to break open our hearts, so that we might feel more deeply, so that we might be more human in these unkind times. This is a book doing work of the spirit in a time of darkness.” —Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Street  
    Efrén Nava’s Amá is his Superwoman—or Soperwoman, named after the delicious Mexican sopes his mother often prepares. Both Amá and Apá work hard all day to provide for the family, making sure Efrén and his younger siblings Max and Mía feel safe and loved. 
    But Efrén worries about his parents; although he’s American-born, his parents are undocumented. His worst nightmare comes true one day when Amá doesn’t return from work and is deported across the border to Tijuana, México. 
    Now more than ever, Efrén must channel his inner Soperboy to help take care of and try to reunite his family. 
    This book won the Pura Belpré Award for Children's Literature and the California Book Award, and it was named a best book of the year by Kirkus and the Chicago Public Library.
