Synopsis

In "The Story Girl" and its sequel "The Golden Road," Lucy Maud Montgomery weaves a delightful tapestry of childhood adventures set in the early 20th century Canadian landscape. Through the eyes of the charming narrator, this duo of novels captures the nostalgia of youth with a rich narrative style infused with lyrical prose and vivid imagery. Montgomery's portrayal of Prince Edward Island's idyllic environment serves not only as a backdrop but as a character in itself, reflecting the innocence and wonder of a bygone era. The stories are rooted in the traditions of storytelling and folklore, drawing readers into a world where imagination reigns supreme. Lucy Maud Montgomery, born in 1874, drew inspiration from her own childhood experiences and the enchanting surroundings of her home. Orphaned at a young age, she was raised by her strict grandparents, which instilled in her a profound appreciation for storytelling as a means of escape. Montgomery's autobiographical elements are richly woven throughout these tales, capturing the complexities of growing up and the importance of human connections during formative years. Readers seeking a heartwarming exploration of friendship, creativity, and the joys of childhood will find great pleasure in "The Story Girl" and "The Golden Road." These timeless classics not only foster nostalgia but also inspire a sense of wonder that resonates across generations, making them essential additions to any literary collection.

    Referent by Ray Bradbury - The Life of a child genius was no fun, but Roby couldn’t escape it–until a falling star taught him how to rebel!  
    Roby Morrison fidgeted. Walking in the tropical heat he heard the wet thunder of waves on the shore. There was a green silence on Orthopedic Island. 
    It was the year 1997, but Roby did not care. 
    All around him was the garden where he prowled, all ten years of him. This was Meditation Hour. Beyond the garden wall, to the north, were the High I.Q. Cubicles where he and the other boys slept in special beds. With morning they popped up like bottle-corks, dashed into showers, gulped food, and were sucked down vacuum-tubes half across the island to Semantics School. Then to Physiology. After Physiology he was blown back underground and released through a seal in the great garden wall to spend this silly hour of meditative frustration, as prescribed by the island Psychologists. 
    Roby had his opinion of it. "Damned silly." 
    Today, he was in furious rebellion. He glared at the sea, wishing he had the sea's freedom to come and go. His eyes were dark, his cheeks flushed, his small hands twitched nervously. 
    Somewhere in the garden a chime vibrated softly. Fifteen more minutes of meditation. Huh! And then to the Robot Commissary to stuff his dead hunger as taxidermists stuff birds.
