Sinossi

In "Our Little Cuban Cousin," Mary Hazelton Blanchard Wade offers a captivating glimpse into the life of a young Cuban boy named Arturo, presenting a rich tapestry of cultural and social practices in early 20th-century Cuba. Written in a lively narrative style that seamlessly blends storytelling with educational elements, the book serves as both an adventure and a tool for cultural understanding. Wade's work is situated within the genre of children'Äôs literature that aims to broaden young readers' perspectives on diverse cultures, making it an essential read during a time marked by increasing American interest in Latin America. Wade, an accomplished author and educator, was passionate about fostering a sense of global awareness among children. Her extensive background in teaching, along with her intricate knowledge of various cultures, inspired her to craft narratives that resonate with young audiences. "Our Little Cuban Cousin" reflects Wade's belief in the importance of empathy and cultural appreciation, as it serves as a counter-narrative to the often one-dimensional portrayals of foreign societies prevalent in her time. I highly recommend "Our Little Cuban Cousin" to readers seeking an engaging and educational exploration of Cuban culture through the eyes of a child. This narrative not only entertains but also invites reflection on cultural identity and kinship in a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected.

    When Luis joins his new baseball team, the Manatees, things seem hopeless at 
    first. Some of his new teammates— including “loud and obnoxious” home-run 
    slugger Jimmie—are mean to him or to each other. His new coach doesn’t tell the 
    players everything to do like his old coach did. And some of the Manatees seem 
    more interested in goofing off than in working hard. Then Coach Joe makes Luis 
    team captain. Will Luis rise to the challenge? Can he get the Manatees to balance 
    working hard and having fun? Will he help his teammates learn to be friends rather 
    than compete? 
    Baseball Buddies explores the power of working together, what it takes to build a 
    team, and the lasting friendships that form on the baseball field.

    “If you thought that there was no reason left for living after the end of the Sorcerer’s Ring series, you were wrong. In RISE OF THE DRAGONS Morgan Rice has come up with what promises to be another brilliant series, immersing us in a fantasy of trolls and dragons, of valor, honor, courage, magic and faith in your destiny. Morgan has managed again to produce a strong set of characters that make us cheer for them on every page.…Recommended for the permanent library of all readers that love a well-written fantasy.”--Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto MattosThis original short story takes us back in time to show us how it all began. KINGS AND SORCERERS: A SHORT STORY  is a 3,000 word original short story which is a must-read complement to the #1 bestselling KINGS AND SORCERERS series, which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS (Book #1), a free download with over 1,000 five-star reviews. It also serves as a standalone story and also as a great introduction to the series.In KINGS AND SORCERERS, Kyra, 15, dreams of becoming a famed warrior, like her father, even though she is the only girl in a fort of boys. As she struggles to understand her special skills, her mysterious inner power, she realizes she is different than the others. But a secret is being kept from her about her birth and the prophecy surrounding her, leaving her to wonder who she really is. Just as Kyra is coming of age, the local lord comes to take her away. Her father wants to wed her off to save her. Kyra, though, refuses, and she quests on her own, into a dangerous wood, where she encounters a wounded dragon—and ignites a series of events that will change the kingdom forever.  15 year old Alec, meanwhile, sacrifices for his brother, taking his place in the draft, and is carted off to The Flames, a wall of flames a hundred feet high that wards off the army of Trolls to the east. On the far side of the kingdom, Merk, a mercenary striving to leave behind his dark past, quests through the wood to become a Watcher of the Towers and help guard the Sword of Fire, the paranormal source of the kingdom’s power. But the Trolls want the Sword, too—and they prepare for a massive invasion that could destroy the kingdoms forever.With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, RISE OF THE DRAGONS is a sweeping, romantic saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, action, adventure, destiny, sorcery, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, of ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders.“RISE OF THE DRAGONS succeeds—right from the start…. A superior fantasy…It begins, as it should, with one protagonist's struggles and moves neatly into a wider circle of knights, dragons, magic and monsters, and destiny.…All the trappings of high fantasy are here, from soldiers and battles to confrontations with self….A recommended winner for any who enjoy epic fantasy writing fueled by powerful, believable young adult protagonists.”--Midwest Book Review, D. Donovan, eBook Reviewer
