Synopsis

In "Penelope's Progress - Complete Collection," Kate Douglas Wiggin delivers a richly woven tapestry of early 20th-century American life through the eyes of Penelope, a charming yet naïve protagonist. The narrative captures Penelope's maturation as she navigates the challenges of youth, identity, and societal expectations, all while embodying a spirit of resilience and optimism. Wiggin's lyrical prose, filled with light humor and poignant observations, reflects the transitional period of American literature steeped in both romanticism and realism, making it a significant work that resonates with contemporary themes of self-discovery. Kate Douglas Wiggin, an influential author and educator, dedicated her life to the betterment of children's literature and the advancement of women's roles in society. Her own experiences as an educator and a pioneer in the establishment of kindergartens on the West Coast inspired her to create narratives that were not only entertaining but also deeply instructive. Wiggin's progressive values and advocacy for children's rights echo throughout the collection, illuminating the cultural shifts occurring during her lifetime. I highly recommend "Penelope's Progress - Complete Collection" for readers who seek a heartfelt exploration of growth and self-realization. Rich in character development and social commentary, this collection is an engaging reflection on the journey towards adulthood, making it a worthy addition to both personal libraries and academic studies in American literature.

    Return to Shadow School for the second installment of the spooky middle-grade series from J. A. White, the acclaimed author of Nightbooks and The Thickety series. 
    Cordelia Liu’s first year at Shadow School was a success. She studied hard and made friends. She also sent hundreds of ghosts into the afterlife, because Shadow School isn’t a normal school, and Cordelia Liu isn’t a normal girl. 
    But her second year is already different. Ghosts are refusing to move on, the teachers are acting weird, and Cordelia’s best friends, Benji and Agnes, aren’t as interested in rescuing the ghosts as they used to be. Benji is busy hanging out with the girl he befriended over the summer, while Agnes spends all her time building a machine that might be capable of dehaunting the school forever. 
    Cordelia is the only one who believes that something sinister is happening right under their noses.  But what if it’s even worse than she could imagine? 
    Praise for Shadow School #1 Archimancy: 
    “Just the right balance of humor, mystery, and scariness. Readers will be eager to see more of this smart and spunky trio in further spooky adventures.” —Kirkus 
    “The story balances the spookier elements with the humorous and difficult going-ons of middle school. An easy quick pick for a just creepy enough read.”—BCCB 
    “A well-paced thriller. Tension builds to a crescendo, and the ending promises more adventures to come for Cordelia and her friends.”—Booklist
