Sinopse

In Kirk Munroe's novel 'Cab and Caboose,' readers are taken on a thrilling adventure set in the post-Civil War American South. The book follows the journey of two young boys, Dick and Ray, as they travel through the recently reunited states on a railway caboose. Munroe's descriptive prose vividly captures the landscapes they encounter and the challenges they face, making for an engaging and immersive read. The narrative style reflects Munroe's expertise in adventurous tales and his ability to transport readers to different time periods with ease. This book is a prime example of late 19th-century children's literature, showcasing the popular themes of friendship, courage, and independence that were prevalent during that era. Munroe's attention to historical detail adds depth to the story, making it both entertaining and educational. 'Cab and Caboose' is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, coming-of-age stories, or classic adventure literature.

    A boy faces amnesia as he seeks to end the monstrous threat to his city in this finale to a fantasy trilogy by a New York Times–bestselling author. 
     
    Three magic Doors are the only way in and out of the walled city of Weld. The golden Door is grand and majestic—a Door for heroes. The silver Door hints at mystery and knowledge—a door for schemers. But the plain wooden Door has always held the most appeal for Rye and his friend Sonia. And now, at last, they have the chance to open it. 
     
    The city of Weld is under attack by skimmers, flying beasts that terrorize the night. If Rye and Sonia can’t discover the enemy sending the skimmers in time, Weld has no hope. Twice before, Rye and Sonia left Weld on a quest to save it. Twice before, they failed. Now there’s just one Door left—one last chance to save the people of Weld. Rye and Sonia know everything depends on them. But nothing can prepare them for the horror that waits behind the wooden Door. 
     
    Praise for The Third Door 
     
    “Readers who have come to love the plucky Rye and determined Sonia will be eager for this story. . . . The plot is tied up in an unexpected but very satisfying way. Fans of Rodda’s Deltora Quest series will be thrilled by the tie-ins here. New fans can enjoy this installment without any prior knowledge of the land of Deltora; though they’ll have a richer experience if they’ve read the first two volumes.” —Booklist

    Marty Preston wonders why it is that despite Judd Traver's attempts to redeem himself everyone is still so willing to think the worst of him. Marty's friend David is sure that Judd will be named as the murderer of a man who has been missing. Others are sure that Judd is behind a series of burglaries in the area. But Marty's parents and, with some trepidation, Marty himself persist in their attempts to be good neighbors and to give Judd a second chance. Now that Marty has Shiloh, maybe he can help Judd to take better care of his other dogs. Then again, maybe folks are right -- there's no way a Judd Travers can ever change for the good. Then a terrifying life-or-death situation brings this dilemma into sharp focus. Saving Shiloh is a powerful novel that brings this trilogy to a close.
