Summary

In "Grace Harlowe's Golden Summer," Josephine Chase weaves a captivating narrative that explores the joys and challenges of young adulthood through the lens of her beloved heroine, Grace Harlowe. This novel, written in the early 20th century, is marked by a rich, descriptive literary style that immerses readers in the idyllic backdrop of summer adventures, camaraderie, and personal growth. Chase employs a blend of humor and sentimentality to capture the essence of adolescence, reflecting the broader cultural shift toward independence and female empowerment during the Progressive Era. Josephine Chase, an influential writer and a prominent figure in children's literature, was known for creating dynamic female protagonists who echo her own experiences and beliefs. Her background in education and her dedication to empowering young women are evident in Grace Harlowe's character, who embodies resilience and friendship. Chase's own youthful adventures, along with her commitment to fostering a sense of agency among young girls, likely inspired her to craft this compelling narrative. I highly recommend "Grace Harlowe's Golden Summer" to readers seeking an authentic exploration of friendship, growth, and the vitality of youth. This charming tale not only entertains but also invites reflection on the formative experiences that shape our lives, making it a timeless addition to the canon of young adult literature.

    What if you could create your own country on land nobody else wanted? Who would you let in and who would you keep out? Homeless people? Stray animals? People of different views and religions? Would you take money from big companies? Would you give money to needy causes? What kind of ruler would you be? And the day they came to take it away from you, would you let it go without a fight? 
Meet Billy, Sami and Charlie. Witness how they create their own kingdom and unfold their global vision in the heart of their city. 
The Kingdom of No Worries is the story of three young friends who create their own kingdom on a piece of land that emerges in the middle of the river that runs through their city. Inspired by their actions to create a democracy that is a model of social tolerance and global thinking, the surrounding community turns out in the thousands to participate in what becomes a radical cultural hub of the city. Over the course of one hot summer the boys grapple to learn what a democracy is and to oversee its demands. Alas, their nascent sovereignty is challenged first by a civic order of eviction, then by valid First Nations land claims, and ultimately by nature itself. Can the utopian dream be saved? 
The Kingdom of No Worries is an empowering tale that speaks to the archetypal dream that all children have to create their own world.
