Sinopse

In 'In Camp With A Tin Soldier,' John Kendrick Bangs crafts a delightful blend of fantasy and satire, immersing readers in a whimsical narrative centered around an imaginative camp where toy soldiers come to life. Written in the late 19th century, the book is a reflection of the era's fascination with childhood innocence, adventure, and the interplay between reality and imagination. Bangs employs a cleverly humorous style, incorporating witty dialogue and absurd situations that challenge the boundaries of conventional storytelling, making it a quintessential piece of American literature during the turn of the century. John Kendrick Bangs was a noted American author and humorist, known for his explorations of the absurd and the fantastical. Born in 1862 in New York City, he embodied the spirit of an age marked by rapid industrialization and shifting societal norms. His background as an accomplished editor and his associations with prominent literary figures of his time undoubtedly informed his unique voice and comedic sensibilities, allowing him to create captivating portrayals of whimsical adventures like those found in this work. Readers seeking to journey into a land of playful absurdity will find 'In Camp With A Tin Soldier' a captivating read. Bangs not only entertains but also invites introspection about the nature of courage and imagination through a lens of humor that remains relevant. Ideal for enthusiasts of fantasy and satire alike, this charming book promises a delightful experience that resonates far beyond its pages.

    A fascinating look into the life and times of civil rights activist and journalist, Ida B. Wells. Born to slave parents in 1862, Ida became a teacher while still in her teens, later attending classes at Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. In 1883, she boarded a train in Memphis. The conductor informed her she would need to move to the blacks-only car, despite the Civil Rights Act of 1875 outlawing segregation such as this. After refusing, she was physically removed by three men. This marked Ida B. Well's transition from teacher to civil rights activist. Throughout her amazing adult life, she traveled throughout the country, and abroad, advocating for African American rights, publishing stories about the cause, and shedding light the horrors of lynching. While she married and had four children, she continued as one of the nation's leading activists, fighting for what she believed in until her death in 1931. Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Wells's story. Archival photographs, drawings, and paintings are chronologically arranged, adding visual context to her remarkable life and career, as well as the inclusion of further reading and website recommendations, maps, glossary, and index. Content developed for young readers, interest level grades 4-6 (reading level, grade 5).

Then their Uncle James lets them in on a little secret:  Bigfoot  may have been spotted! And their Nana isn't  any  old grandma--she's the most famous Bigfoot hunter around! Trouble is, Nana should've returned by now. And nobody in all of Puget Sound has seen her! At least... nobody  human.   Rubi and Quinn will have to follow the footprints (and scat!), crack the clues, and rely on each other to find their Nana and bring her home... that is, unless Bigfoot finds them  first !
