Synopsis

"Us," An Old Fashioned Story by Mrs. Molesworth is a captivating narrative that delves into the themes of familial bonds, societal expectations, and the simplicity of rural life in the late 19th century. With a lyrical prose style characteristic of Victorian literature, Molesworth weaves an intricate tapestry that explores the emotional landscapes of her characters through vivid descriptions and heartfelt dialogues. The book stands out within the realm of children's literature of its time, blending moral lessons with gentle humor, while presenting a critique of modernity against the backdrop of an idyllic countryside setting. Mrs. Molesworth, a prominent figure in children's literature during her era, brought to her writing a wealth of personal experience from her upbringing in a close-knit family and her love for nature. Her own life, enriched by a fascination for the past and a desire to present traditional values, undoubtedly influenced the artistic choices in "Us." Molesworth aimed to celebrate the joys of domestic life while addressing the moral dilemmas faced by families, making her narratives deeply resonant for her readers. For those seeking a nostalgic journey back to simpler times, "Us" is highly recommended. Its exploration of universal themes such as love, duty, and community remains relevant, captivating both young and mature audiences alike. This charming story invites readers to rediscover the warmth of family and the beauty of an uncomplicated life.

    Along the underground arcane lines of Subterra, where commuter enchanters flicker subway runes from rail shadows and track phantoms haunt the dark with derailment curses, enchanter Jax flickers an urban rune with phantom Lira, their lines cursed by shadows that twist the rails into arcane knots. The rune, flickered in rail vows and track-kissed sparks, lights the underground—or derails it in cursed collisions. As they commute through line-laced tunnels and rune-bound stations, flickered by track wardens and phantom rivals, Jax's enchanting flicker merges with Lira's phantom haunt, unveiling a subterra legend of runed track. When a twisted rail summons curse cars, they must flicker the rune to straighten the lines. In the flicker of subway runes, where every rail channels the spell and every phantom whispers the curse, their urban rune becomes the light that runs the underground's pulse.

    James P. Crow by Philip K. Dick - It was a robots' world, run by soul-less heaps of haughty metal. But among the humans there was one — only one — who aspired to greatness; only one who stood the chance of breaking out of his subservient shell. He was the Time-Window Kid. ... He was James P. Crow. 
    Philip K. Dick (1928–1982) was an American science fiction writer whose works explored themes of reality, identity, and the nature of consciousness. Known for his visionary storytelling, he penned over 40 novels and 120 short stories, including Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (the basis for Blade Runner) and The Man in the High Castle. Dick’s blend of philosophical inquiry and futuristic settings has made him a cornerstone of speculative fiction, influencing countless films, writers, and thinkers. His work continues to challenge perceptions of what it means to be human.

    For Griffin Furlong, the odds were against him. 
    Death, homelessness, and fear of his future loomed early in his childhood. According to the National School Board Association, students experiencing homelessness are 87 percent more likely to drop out of school than their stably housed peers, and without a high school diploma, youth are 4.5 times more likely to experience homelessness later in life. But through the power of growing his perspective and mindset, Griffin transformed his perception of his situation and turned it into something worthwhile.  
    In Boundless, he shares his astonishing childhood story and major themes he learned along the way to defy the odds set against him. His story is a testament that no matter the obstacles, no matter the difficulties that lie ahead, and no matter the lack of resources, anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Griffin believes anyone can apply the principles in this book to create the future they dream of.
