Sinopse

In 'The Camp Fire Girls' Careers,' Margaret Vandercook weaves a compelling narrative that explores the adventures and aspirations of young girls involved in the Camp Fire organization. Through a blend of vivid storytelling and practical lessons, Vandercook reflects the era's burgeoning interest in empowering young women to pursue careers outside traditional domestic roles. The literary style is imbued with a sense of optimism and camaraderie, characterized by lively dialogues and rich descriptions that bring the girls' experiences to life, offering insights into both their personal growth and social changes of the early 20th century. Margaret Vandercook (1875-1955) was a prominent writer and advocate for girls' education and empowerment. Having worked extensively with youth organizations, her firsthand experiences shaped her understanding of adolescents'Äô challenges and triumphs. Vandercook'Äôs commitment to fostering independence in young women is evident throughout her works, and 'The Camp Fire Girls' Careers' serves as both a narrative and a guiding manifesto that encourages girls to explore various vocational paths in a time when opportunities were limited. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in children's literature, women's studies, or educational history. Vandercook's thoughtful approach and engaging prose make this both an entertaining and educational read, inspiring a new generation to recognize their potential and the diverse careers available to them.

    “A powerful story” of a boy leaving the city streets for a summer at a horse farm—and discovering the possibility of a different life(Kirkus Reviews).  An ALA Best Book for Young AdultsAn ALA Quick Pick   With an absent mother and a domineering stepfather, Travis uses his tough-guy exterior to hide his true passion: writing. After a violent confrontation with his stepfather, Travis is sent to live on his uncle’s horse ranch—exile to a born-and-bred city kid. Angry and yearning for a connection, Travis befriends Casey, the horse-riding instructor at the ranch, and the untamable horse in her stable: the Star Runner.   When a friend from the city visits with stories of other kids from the neighborhood facing jail time, Travis is more determined than ever that he needs to escape the life of juvenile delinquency he seems destined for. When the offer of a book deal comes through, Travis is hopeful that this is his chance to escape—if only his stepfather will stop standing in the way of his dreams.   In this novel, the acclaimed author of The Outsiders “portrays her characters with sympathy and yet commendably refuses to gloss over rough edges or gritty truths” (Publishers Weekly).   “Hinton continues to grow more reflective in her books, but her great understanding, not of what teenagers are but of what they can hope to be, is undiminished.”—Kirkus Reviews
