Beschreibung

In "Billie Bradley and the School Mystery; Or, The Girl From Oklahoma," Janet D. Wheeler crafts an engaging narrative that blends mystery and adolescent adventure within a coming-of-age story. Set against the backdrop of an outlier Midwestern school environment, the plot follows the inquisitive and resourceful Billie Bradley as she unravels a series of puzzling events that challenge her wit and bravery. Wheeler's straightforward yet evocative prose captures the essence of early 20th-century youth literature, drawing upon tropes of friendship, loyalty, and perseverance while also reflecting cultural attitudes of the time, notably concerning gender norms and regional identity. Janet D. Wheeler, a prolific author of children's literature, drew upon her own childhood experiences in Oklahoma and her observations of youth dynamics to create relatable and compelling characters. Her deep understanding of adolescent psychology and keen insight into the trials faced by young girls in a male-dominated society reflect her commitment to empowering young readers. Wheeler's work often advocated for independence and resilience, themes prevalent in her life and literary career. "Billie Bradley and the School Mystery" is highly recommended for readers who appreciate character-driven narratives filled with suspense and vibrant, youthful energy. Ideal for both young readers and adults nostalgic for classic mysteries, Wheeler's novel serves not only as entertainment but as a valuable exploration of themes surrounding bravery and ingenuity in the face of mystery.

    In difficult circumstances, we often ask ourselves, why did this happened to me? why didn’t it happen like that? At that time, we did not even think that perhaps something good could hidden in that. When the time become favorable, all such thoughts suddenly disappear. We are so busy in our lives that we never thank GOD at that time. In life, favorable and unfavorable time will come and go like that. We have to face all these life situations with patience and by maintaining courage. Life will continue to be like this, it never stops. 
    ‘One life many shades’ is a story about a family that gets displaced due to cyclone that hit Odisha in 1999. They faced many challenging situations in their life while maintaining self-belief and courage. The author describes many shades of life in the form of a story. He says that life is a combination of ups and downs and nothing is stable in life. If time always remains the same then we do not understand the importance of the good and the bad deeds. Therefore, both good and bad times come and go in each one of our life. Further, he adds that difficult times do not come to weaken us but makes all of us stronger. We should face challenges by being positive with the hope that good things will happen with us. I hope that this book will help you in being optimistic about life along with a good story.

    Master Of The Asteroid by Clark Ashton Smith - They worshipped him as a god, this man condemned to death on that lonely world.  
    Man's conquest of the interplanetary gulfs has been fraught with many tragedies. Vessel after vessel, like a venturous mote, has disappeared in the infinite and has not returned.  
    Inevitably, for the most part, the lost explorers have left no record of their fate. Their ships have flared as unknown meteors through the atmosphere of the further planets, to fall like shapeless metal cinders on a nevervisited terrain; or have become the dead, frozen satellites of other worlds or moons. A few, perhaps, among the unreturning fliers, have succeeded in landing somewhere, and their crews have perished immediately, or survived for a little while amid the inconceivably hostile environment of a cosmos not designed for men.  
    In later years, with the progress of exploration, morе than one of the early derelicts has been descried, following a solitary orbit; and the wrecks of others have been found on ultra-terrene shores. Occasionally-not often-it has been possible to reconstruct the details of the lone, remote disaster. Sometimes, in a fused and twisted hull, a log or record has been preserved intact. Among others, there is the case of the Selenite, the first known rocket ship to dare the zone of the asteroids.  
    At the time of its disappearance, fifty years ago, in 1980, a dozen voyages had been made to Mars, and a rocket base had been established in Syrtis Major, with a small permanent colony of terrestrials, all of whom were trained scientists as well as men of uncommon hardihood and physical stamina.  
    The effects of the Martian climate, and the utter alienation from familiar conditions, as might have been expected, were extremely trying and even disastrous.
