Sinopse

In "The Motor Rangers' Cloud Cruiser," John Henry Goldfrap masterfully blends elements of adventure, science fiction, and early 20th-century ethos to explore themes of exploration and ingenuity. Set against a backdrop of technological innovation, the narrative follows a group of intrepid young adventurers as they journey through the skies in a remarkable airship. Goldfrap's prose is characterized by vivid descriptions and an optimistic tone that mirrors the period's fascination with machinery and the possibilities of the future, while also subtly critiquing the rapid industrialization of society. Through this fantastical tale, Goldfrap captures the spirit of the Roaring Twenties, when youth culture was on the rise and inventiveness was celebrated. John Henry Goldfrap, a contemporary of early aviation pioneers, drew from the burgeoning interest in aviation and mechanical advancements of his time. His background in engineering and a deep passion for adventure are palpable throughout the text, providing authentic insights into the mechanics of flight and the thrill of exploration. Goldfrap's experiences reflect the dual nature of progression'Äîboth its exhilarating prospects and the inherent risks. This book is a must-read not only for enthusiasts of classic adventure literature but also for those captivated by the historical context of early aviation. Goldfrap's intricate storytelling and engaging characters will inspire readers to dream about the skies and yearn for adventure, making it a timeless addition to the canon of youthful explorative tales.

    In this spinoff to the New York Times–bestselling Goosebumps series, two siblings rescue their uncle when he mysteriously turns into a Jack-in-the-box. 
     
    Devin and his sister Violet are visiting their Uncle Jack for the summer. He lives in an old house by the seashore. Jack was a sailor and he has collected strange and fascinating items from the sea. Exploring a back room, Devin and Violet discover a locked trunk. A pirate’s chest. The trunk is wrapped in old, heavy chains and locked with a huge rusted lock. But they manage to get it open. They lift the lid slowly-and see that it’s filled with antique jack-in-the-boxes. Huh? One box is hidden under the others, covered in dust. It plays an odd unpleasant song. Up pops a very ugly, mean-looking puppet, an old pirate with a dirty red bandana over his long greasy hair, scars on his cheeks, and a beard, and one eye missing. “Thanks for letting Sailor Jack out!” he rasps, bouncing on his spring. Devin and Violet have a troubling question: Now that their uncle has been turned into a toy, how will they get him back?
