Beschreibung

In "The Story of a Sawdust Doll," Laura Lee Hope crafts a tender narrative that encapsulates the profound themes of childhood innocence, imagination, and the power of love. Written in a simple yet engaging style characteristic of early 20th-century children'Äôs literature, the book captures the whimsical adventures of a doll made of sawdust, who becomes a vessel for the dreams and hopes of the children who cherish her. This story not only entertains but also serves as a subtle commentary on the significance of handmade toys in fostering creativity and emotional connections during a time when mass production began to dominate the toy industry. Laura Lee Hope was a pseudonym used by the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a powerhouse of children'Äôs literature that produced numerous beloved series like the Bobbsey Twins and Nancy Drew. The use of this pseudonym allowed multiple authors to contribute to a shared literary universe, thereby promoting themes that resonated with young readers. The delicate balance of joy and melancholy found in Hope's works reflects the period's nuanced understanding of childhood's transient nature, potentially influenced by the societal shifts of the early 1900s. I highly recommend "The Story of a Sawdust Doll" not only as a delightful read for children but also as a nostalgic journey for adults who wish to rediscover the simplicity and enchantment of youth. This beautifully illustrated tale promises to captivate readers of all ages, inviting them to reflect on their own cherished toys and the sentimental stories that shaped their childhood.

    Welcome Martians by Evan Hunter - Only one question seemed important in this huge space venture: Who was flying where? 
    The only sound was the swish of the jets against the sand as the big ship came down. Slowly, nose pointed skyward, a yellow tail streaming out behind the tubes, it settled to the ground like a cat nuzzling its haunches against a velvet pillow. 
    Dave Langley peered through the viewport. 
    "I feel kind of funny," he said. 
    A tremor of excitement flooded through Cal Manners' thin frame. "Mars," he whispered. "We made it." 
    Gently, the fins probed the sand, poking into it. Cal cut the power and the big ship shuddered and relaxed, a huge metal spider with a conical head. 
    Cal peered through the viewport, his eyes scanning the planet. Behind him, Dave shrugged into a space suit, gathered up his instruments. 
    "I'll make the tests," Dave said. "Keep the starboard guns trained on me." 
    Cal nodded. He walked Dave to the airlock and lifted the toggles on the inner hatch. Dave stepped into the small chamber, and Cal snapped the hatch shut. 
    He walked quickly to the starboard guns, wiggled into the plastic seat behind them and pitched his shoulders against the braces. Outside, like a grotesque balloon, Dave stumbled around on weighted feet, taking his readings. 
    What's out there? Cal wondered. Just exactly what? 
    He tightened his grip on the big blasters, and trained the guns around to where Dave puttered in the sand. Dave suddenly stood erect, waved at Cal, and started lumbering back toward the ship. Cal left the guns and went to the airlock. He stepped into the chamber closed the toggles on the hatch behind him, and twirled the wheel on the outer hatch. He was ready to move back into the ship again when Dave stepped through the outer hatch, his helmet under his arm.

    Bestselling and award-winning author Jewell Parker Rhodes goes West in this thrilling adventure story about a son and his father who set out to win land during the Oklahoma Land Rush–if they can survive the journey.     It’s 1889, barely twenty-five years after the Emancipation Proclamation, and a young Black family is tired of working on land they don’t get to own.   So when Will and his father hear about an upcoming land rush, they set out on a journey from Texas to Oklahoma, racing thousands of others to the place where land is free—if they can get to it fast enough. But the journey isn’t easy—the terrain is rough, the bandits are brutal, and every interaction carries a heavy undercurrent of danger.   And then there’s the stranger they encounter and befriend: a mysterious soldier named Caesar, whose Union emblem brings more attention—and more trouble—than any of them need.   All three are propelled by the promise of something long denied to them: freedom, land ownership, and a place to call home—but is a strong will enough to get them there?
