Sinossi

In Mary Mapes Dodge's 'Hans Brinker, or The Silver Skates,' readers are immersed in a richly woven narrative set against the backdrop of 19th-century Holland. The story follows the titular character, a young boy from a humble background, and his dreams of glory as he prepares for the National Ice-Skating Race. Dodge's prose is characterized by its vivid imagery and lyrical quality, capturing the frigid beauty of the Dutch landscape while simultaneously exploring themes of perseverance, honor, and the spirit of competition. The book serves as a bridge between Victorian sensibilities and the burgeoning realism of the time, showcasing cultural motifs unique to Dutch society through the eyes of its youthful protagonists. Mary Mapes Dodge, an influential figure in American children's literature, was deeply affected by her European roots and exposure to various cultures. Her vision of creating a captivating narrative that combines entertainment with moral lessons stemmed from her childhood experiences and her desire to instill values in the young readers of her time. Dodge was also an advocate for youth, which guided her in crafting a relatable and inspiring hero in Hans, as well as fostering a spirit of adventure and growth. 'Hans Brinker' is a timeless tale that appeals to both children and adults alike, presenting not only a captivating story but also an exploration of the importance of integrity and familial bonds. I highly recommend this beloved classic for its ability to transport readers to another time and place while simultaneously resonating with universal themes of hope and aspiration.

    🔱 Looking for a school with monsters, whirlpools, and zero promises you’ll make it out alive? Congratulations—you found it. 
    When the gods died (spoiler alert: humans totally killed them), their powers scattered like stardust, creating a world where everyone’s born with a gift: a ripple of Poseidon, a blaze of Apollo, a glimmer of Aphrodite… 
    Thirteen-year-old Hailey Woods? She got Zeus. Storm-summoning powers sound cool… unless you’re the only Zeus in a hundred years and there’s a prophecy floating about saying you’ll have to save the world—um, no pressure. 
    Hailey isn’t interested in saving anything. She’d rather survive high school without accidentally unleashing a tornado in class. 
    So when she’s offered a spot at Poseidon’s Academy—a school under the sea where her powers are useless—she dives in (literally) for a shot at a normal life. 
    No lightning. No pressure. No monsters. 
    Kidding! There are so many monsters… 
    Oh, and sea-nymphs—like mermaids, but meaner, less sparkly, and way more into revenge than decorating seashell crowns. They’re plotting to bring back the gods, and if Hailey and her friends don’t stop them, it’s goodbye enchanted sea palace, hello full-blown apocalypse. 
    Saving the world? Yeah… turns out that might not be optional. 
    __________________________________________________ 
    ⚡️Poseidon’s Academy is a middle grade fantasy packed with magic, teen demigods, and more mayhem than any school should allow. Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, Nevermoor, and Amari and the Night Brothers 
    🌀 The whirlpool’s spinning—jump in if you dare. Worst case? You’re never seen again. Best case? You fight a kraken. Good luck!
