  With Her in Ourland: Sequel to Herland is a feminist novel and sociological commentary written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The novel is a follow-up and sequel to Herland (1915), and picks up immediately following the events of Herland, with Terry, Van, and Ellador traveling from Herland to "Ourland" (the contemporary 1915-16 world). The majority of the novel follows Van and Ellador's travels throughout the world, and particularly the United States, with Van curating their explorations through the then-modern world, while Ellador offers her commentary and "prescriptions" from a Herlander's perspective, discussing topics such as the First World War, foot binding, education, politics, economics, race relations, and gender relations.

  Nella Larsen's novella follows friends Irene Redfield and Clare Kendry, two Black women who can pass as white. Their anxieties about passing culminate in tragedy, revealing the powerful repercussions of hiding one’s identity, including the risks associated with it, and its implications for intimacy in romantic and familial relationships. Larsen uses the act of passing to refer to elements of subterfuge outside of the implied racial context, invoking the kinds of masquerade involved in assuming a class, ethnicity, or sexuality different than one’s own. Nearly a century later, Larsen's novella remains as urgent and relevant as ever.

  "The six little Bunkers are on the move again, and this time, the fun begins at Grandpa Ford's!"
  
  The Bunker family is a lively household of six children, ranging from the industrious Russ and helpful Rose to the toddlers Margy and Mun Bun. In this installment, the children pack their bags for a trip to visit their kind-hearted Grandpa Ford. Set against the backdrop of a simpler time, the story follows their journey and the delightful, often humorous, escapades that occur when six curious siblings explore a new environment. From helping with chores to making unexpected discoveries, the Bunkers prove that the best adventures are the ones shared with family.
  
  Wholesome Family Dynamics: At its heart, the series is a celebration of sibling cooperation. Each child has a distinct personality—Russ, the oldest, is the natural leader; Rose is the "little mother"; Lad and Vi are the inquisitive middle children; and Margy and Mun Bun provide the innocent charm. Their interactions teach lessons in kindness, responsibility, and the joy of discovery.
  
  A Window into the Past: Written in 1922, the book offers a fascinating glimpse into American life a century ago. It depicts a world of train travel, handwritten letters, and the simple pleasures of a visit to a relative's home. For modern readers, it serves as a nostalgic "time capsule" of early 20th-century childhood and social etiquette.
  
  Gentle Mystery and Adventure: Like many Stratemeyer series, the plot is driven by "gentle mysteries"—small puzzles or lost items that the children must work together to solve. This keeps young readers engaged while maintaining the comforting, safe atmosphere that made the series a staple of school libraries for decades.
