Sinossi

In "The Khaki Boys at Camp Sterling; Or, Training for the Big Fight in France," Josephine Chase delivers a compelling narrative that captures the essence of youth and camaraderie against the backdrop of World War I. Through lively prose infused with adventure and earnest patriotism, Chase portrays the rigorous training regimens of the titular boys as they prepare for their imminent journey to the front lines. The book not only serves as a captivating tale of friendship and resilience but also reflects the zeitgeist of early 20th-century America, where nationalistic fervor and individual sacrifice intermingled, showcasing the cultural zeitgeist of the time. Josephine Chase is recognized for her contributions to children's literature during the war era, often using her writings to instill a sense of duty and moral clarity among young readers. Chase's commitment to portraying real-life heroes and the values of bravery and teamwork likely stemmed from her own experiences and observations during a time of global conflict, solidifying her role as a voice of encouragement for both the youth and their families in an uncertain age. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in historical fiction, particularly those seeking to understand how literature can reflect and shape the values of a generation. Chase's engaging storytelling serves as a portal to the youthful spirit of the past, making it an essential addition to any bookshelf.

    “Rolo became so real to me… I loved every character.” — Online Book Club  
    The cats have overthrown the hoomans! Rolo hopes to find his hooman ancestors when he lands on his ancient homeworld, Earth. But instead, the aloof feline bureaucats throw him in the pound. He escapes and hides on an airship, where he meets Ailey, a quirky girl with a troubled past. She offers to help Rolo find his people in the lost city of Zorx if he helps her run away. But bounty hunters are on their tail — a cranky hairless cat and foolishly philosophical apes. With help from a one-eyed alley cat and a fortune-teller elephant, Rolo and Ailey must find where they truly belong in this catopia — a world where all animals are equal, but cats are more equal than others. A smart, hilarious, and genuinely touching tale of runaways, resilience, and family. And cats.

    Robot Nemesis by E.E. "Doc" Smith - Humanity’s Creation Becomes Its Executioner 
    E.E. “Doc” Smith, often hailed as the father of the space opera, was born Edward Elmer Smith on May 2, 1890, in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. A chemist by training—he earned a Ph.D. in chemical engineering—Smith balanced a professional career in food science with a passion for writing grand, galaxy-spanning science fiction. His literary debut came in 1928 with The Skylark of Space, one of the earliest stories to explore interstellar travel with scientific plausibility and epic scale. Co-written with his neighbor Lee Hawkins Garby, the novel introduced many elements that would come to define the genre. 
    Smith is best known for the Lensman and Skylark series, foundational works that inspired generations of authors and helped shape the golden age of science fiction. His stories were packed with super-science, titanic battles between good and evil, and larger-than-life heroes. While his prose was often described as melodramatic and his characters archetypal, his visionary imagination and sense of cosmic scale were unmatched in his time.
