Sinopsis

In "John Dough and the Cherub," L. Frank Baum embarks on a whimsical journey that intertwines elements of fantasy and adventure, echoing the author'Äôs signature style marked by imaginative narratives and playful prose. The novel follows the story of John Dough, a magical cookie man, and his companion, a cherubic boy, as they navigate through fantastical realms filled with quirky characters and enchanting landscapes. Baum'Äôs literary context draws upon the rich tradition of children's literature in the early 20th century, while also reflecting societal values and the burgeoning American identity that characterized the era. L. Frank Baum, renowned for his creation of the beloved "Oz" series, was deeply influenced by his experiences as a playwright and his keen interest in the fantastical elements of storytelling. His background in the theater, coupled with his dislike for the harsh realities of life, fueled his desire to craft tales that offered escapism and wonder for children and adults alike. "John Dough and the Cherub" demonstrates his ability to blend humor, fantasy, and moral lessons, showcasing Baum'Äôs continued exploration of the imagination. Readers are invited to dive into this charming tale that not only entertains but also stimulates the imagination with its playful narrative and whimsical characters. Ideal for both children and adults who appreciate fantasy literature, "John Dough and the Cherub" is a delightful addition to any bookshelf, inviting readers to escape into a world where anything is possible.

    Giselle Boyer and her identical twin, Isabelle, are as close as sisters can be, even as their family seems to be unraveling. Then the Boyers have a tragic encounter that will shatter everyone’s world forever. 
     
    Giselle wakes up in the hospital, injured and unable to speak or move. Trapped in the prison of her own body, Giselle must revisit her past in order to understand how the people closest to her—her friends, her parents, and above all, Isabelle, her twin—have shaped and defined her. Will she allow her love for her family and friends to lead her to recovery? Or will she remain lost in a spiral of longing and regret? 
     
    Untwine is a spellbinding tale, lyrical and filled with love, mystery, humor, and heartbreak.

    “While Danticat fully grounds Giselle in her identity as a Haitian-American teen in Miami, this gentle young artist could speak to any teen anywhere coping with a major loss.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer

    Tāwhaki: The Deeds of a Demigod recalls the miraculous life of Tāwhaki. Similar to Māui, Tāwhaki was a demigod who possessed mighty powers. Tāwhaki almost died at the hands of his brothers-in-law but was found by his wife Hine-piripiri and revived. This near-death experience revealed Tāwhaki's status as a demigod, and from this point Tāwhaki continued to use his powers and gifts to help those around him in ways no human could. This book explores many of these stories, including those of Tāwhaki restoring sight to his blind grandmother and climbing the heavens to find his wife and child.
