Summary

In "Jill: A Flower Girl," L. T. Meade weaves a poignant tale set against the backdrop of Victorian society, showcasing the trials and triumphs of a young girl destined to play a pivotal role in a wedding celebration. The narrative, rich with vivid imagery and heartfelt emotion, captures Jill's journey as she navigates the complexities of childhood, friendship, and responsibility. Meade's literary style is characterized by its charming prose and an innate ability to evoke the innocence of youth, inviting readers to immerse themselves in the enchanting world of this blossoming flower girl. This work fits seamlessly into the tradition of children's literature of the period, which often sought to instill moral values through engaging storytelling. L. T. Meade, a prominent figure in children's literature during the late 19th century, was known for her keen observations of society and her ability to portray the lives of young girls with authenticity and warmth. Her own experiences growing up in a Victorian household, coupled with her deep understanding of children's psyche, undoubtedly influenced her portrayal of Jill's character and her journey. Meade's fascination with social dynamics and female empowerment resonates throughout this work, revealing her progressive outlook for the time. I highly recommend "Jill: A Flower Girl" to readers who seek a heartwarming and engaging exploration of childhood. This novel not only entertains but also imparts timeless lessons about altruism, perseverance, and the beauty of growing up. It stands as a testament to L. T. Meade's literary legacy and is a delightful addition to any collection of children's literature.

    From the author of The Outsiders: This novel about two brothers in a tough world “packs a punch that will leave readers of any age reeling” (School Library Journal).  An ALA Best Book for Young AdultsA School Library Journal Best Book of the Year   Rusty-James wants to be just like his big brother Motorcycle Boy—tough enough to be respected by everyone in the neighborhood. But Motorcycle Boy is also smart, so smart that Rusty-James relies on him to bail him out of trouble. The brothers are inseparable, and Motorcycle Boy will always be there to watch his back, so there's nothing to worry about, right? Or so Rusty-James believes, until his world falls apart and Motorcycle Boy isn't there to pick up the pieces.   An edgy, emotional portrait of a troubled kid trying to navigate the chaotic world around him, Rumble Fish was made into a film by Francis Ford Coppola and has become a modern classic praised by School Library Journal as “stylistically superb” and beloved by multiple generations of readers.   “Hinton knows how to plunge us right into [Rusty-James’s] dead-end mentality—his inability to verbalize much of anything, to come to grips with his anger about his alcoholic father and the mother who deserted him, even his distance from his own feelings.”—Kirkus Reviews
