Sinopse

In 'The Rectory Children,' Mrs. Molesworth crafts a charming narrative that intertwines the innocence of childhood with the vivid portrayal of rural English life. Set against the picturesque backdrop of a rectory in the late 19th century, the story follows the adventures of a group of children as they navigate their friendships and familial relationships. Molesworth employs a vivid and accessible literary style, characterized by rich descriptions and engaging dialogue, which invites young readers to immerse themselves in a world filled with wonder and discovery. The book encapsulates the themes of adventure, morality, and the significance of community, reflective of the Victorian era's emphasis on the importance of character and virtue in the upbringing of children. Mrs. Molesworth, a prolific writer of children'Äôs literature, was deeply influenced by her own upbringing and experiences. Born into a family with a strong literary tradition, she was well-acquainted with the joys and challenges of childhood. Her passion for illustrating the beauty of everyday life, combined with her understanding of child psychology, enables her to create relatable characters that resonate with readers, providing insight into the trials and tribulations of childhood. I highly recommend 'The Rectory Children' not only for its delightful storytelling but also for its ability to capture the essence of childhood. This book is a timeless exploration of humor and heart, making it a perfect read for both children and adults who appreciate the simple joys of life. Molesworth's nuanced portrayal of children at play and the moral lessons woven throughout ensure that this book remains a treasured classic in children'Äôs literature.

    F. O. B. Venus by Nelson S. Bond - Lancelot Biggs was perhaps the worst second mate Captain Hanson had ever shipped, and he was convinced of it when he ruined their cargo. But how dumb a man is, may sometimes be a matter of opinion. 
    Something had gone a little haywire with my bug, and I had just repaired it and was CQ-ing on the 20 band when the door opened and Captain Hanson walked in. 
    Naturally, I was surprised. We were only four hours out of the Venus H-layer, and I hadn't expected any visitors; least of all the skipper. But he plunked himself down in the best chair and said, "Sparks, look at me! What do you see?" 
    That gave me a jolt. Even the best of them make the old dipsy-doo once in a while, but I never thought I'd live to see the day when Captain Hanson went space nutty. He'd been with the Corporation, man and boy, for more than thirty years now, and had never spent a day in dry-dock. I reached behind me cautiously and said in as soothing a voice as I could muster, "Why, I see a very nice man, Captain. Now, just you sit quiet for a minute. I've got to—" 
    "Stop bein' a damned fool, Sparks!" said the skipper wearily, "An' put down that monkey-wrench! I'm not slippin' my gravs—yet. I'm just askin' you a simple question. What do you see?" 
    I said, "Is it facts you're after, Cap, or am I allowed poetic license? If it's facts, I see a swell, slightly gray-haired guy in his middle fifties who's been through the mill, knows space like a book, and—" 
    "Wrong!" said Hanson. "Sparks, all radiomen are dumb. I guess that's why they're radiomen. What you see before you is a broken man. A man sadly buffeted by Fate and the dread clutch of circumstances. Not to mention meddlesome vice-presidents." 
    This time I got it. 
    "Biggs?" I said. 
    "Yes, Sparks. Biggs. Now tell me, man to man, what did I ever do to deserve Biggs?"

    A heart-wrenching middle grade debut about Kemi, an aspiring scientist who loves statistics and facts, as she navigates grief and loss at a moment when life as she knows it changes forever. 
    Eleven-year-old Kemi Carter loves scientific facts, specifically probability. It's how she understands the world and her place in it. Kemi knows her odds of being born were 1 in 5.5 trillion, and that the odds of her having the best family ever were even lower. Yet somehow, Kemi lucked out. 
    But everything Kemi thought she knew changes when she sees an asteroid hover in the sky, casting a purple haze over her world. Amplus-68 has an 84.7% chance of colliding with earth in four days, and with that collision, Kemi’s life as she knows it will end. 
    But over the course of the four days, even facts don’t start to feel true to Kemi anymore. The new town she moved to that was supposed to be “better for her family” isn’t very welcoming. And Amplus-68 is taking over her life, but others are still going to school and eating at their favorite diner like nothing has changed. Is Kemi the only one who feels like the world is ending? 
    With the days numbered, Kemi decides to put together a time capsule that will capture her family’s truth: how creative her mother is, how inquisitive her little sister can be, and how much Kemi's whole world revolves around her father. But no time capsule can change the truth behind all of it, that Kemi must face the most inevitable and hardest part of life: saying goodbye. 
    A stunning portrait of grief, loss, and that moment in life that splits the world into ""before"" and ""after,"" Sarah Everett's middle grade debut is an unforgettable reading experience, from each insightful phrase, all the way to the explosive ending.
