Sinopsis

In "Grace Harlowe's Fourth Year at Overton College," Josephine Chase continues the beloved narrative of young women's empowerment and camaraderie set in the vibrant early 20th century. This installment captures Grace and her friends as they navigate the trials of academic life, personal growth, and social challenges with resilience and charm. Chase's prose is marked by its engaging descriptions and relatable characterizations, immersing the reader in the emotional landscapes of college life, intertwined with moments of humor, romance, and the moral dilemmas faced by young women of the time. This work exemplifies the collegiate novel genre popular in its day while addressing themes of ambition, friendship, and the pursuit of independence within a patriarchal society. Josephine Chase, a pioneer in children's and young adult literature, draws upon her own experiences as an educator and advocate for women's rights to inform her characters' journeys. Her deep empathy for the struggles and aspirations of young women is rooted in the early 1900s' shifting attitudes towards female education and empowerment. This context not only enriches the narrative but also underscores Chase's commitment to uplifting female voices within literature, making her an integral figure of her time. "Grace Harlowe's Fourth Year at Overton College" is a must-read for those interested in early feminist literature and the evolution of women's roles in society. Chase'Äôs keen insight into young women'Äôs lives offers contemporary readers both an entertaining story and a window into the past, making it a valuable addition to any bookshelf.

    This sensitive and often humorous book tells the story of an adolescent boy who begins to find himself after the people he has always depended on let him down. Alone. That’s how thirteen-year-old Justin feels these days. His older brother Duane has left home, enlisting in the Army, and his father has walked out, maybe for good this time. His mom is too depressed to get out of bed, much less pay the bills and keep food in the refrigerator. And if that’s not enough, his best buddy Ben has a new girlfriend and no longer has time to hang out. There’s not much left for Justin to do but to put his brain in neutral and slide into the state he calls “the Big Nothing.” But slowly Justin discovers he has more resources than he thinks. With the help of his classmate Jemmie and her grandmother, Nana Grace, he learns that underneath all the noisy confusion in his brain lies a talent for music. As he spends time with Jemmie, he begins to understand how simple notes make complex music, and how simple feelings can turn into deep emotions. Award-winning author Adrian Fogelin once again offers readers an emotionally charged story featuring a sympathetic adolescent trying to make sense of the people and world around him.
