Synopsis

In 'Now or Never; Or, The Adventures of Bobby Bright,' Oliver Optic crafts a vibrant tale that merges adventure and moral growth within the quintessential framework of American youth literature. Set against the backdrop of the 19th century, the narrative follows young Bobby Bright, whose spirited ventures encapsulate both exhilarating escapades and life lessons. Optic employs a straightforward yet engaging style, catering to the educational values of the time while introducing themes of perseverance, personal integrity, and the pursuit of dreams, making it a cornerstone of juvenile literature during the post-Civil War era. Oliver Optic, the pen name of William Taylor Adams, was an influential author of children's literature in the 19th century, known for his penchant for adventure and strong moral lessons. Growing up by the sea in Massachusetts, experiences in a naval setting fostered his fascination with maritime adventure, reflected in his narratives. Moreover, Optic'Äôs background in teaching and dedication to education directly influenced his writing, motivating him to inspire young readers to navigate their own journeys with courage and determination. 'Now or Never' is not merely a children's tale but a profound exploration of the trials of youth, making it essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution of American literature. It is a compelling invitation to reflect on the importance of timely decision-making, making it a valuable addition to any reader's collection.

    2024 Oregon Book Award winner 
    In this magical and chilling Coraline-esque retelling of the Japanese folktale “The Melon Princess and the Amanjaku,"" one girl must save herself—and her loved ones—from a deceitful demon she befriended. 
    Melony Yoshimura’s parents have always been overprotective. They say it’s because a demonic spirit called the Amanjaku once preyed upon kids back in Japan, but Melony suspects it’s just a cautionary tale to keep her in line. So on her twelfth birthday, Melony takes a chance and wishes for the freedom and adventure her parents seem determined to keep her from. 
    As if conjured by her wish, the Amanjaku appears. At first, Melony is wary. If this creature is real, are the stories about its destructive ways also real? In no time, however, the Amanjaku woos Melony with its ability to shape-shift, grant wishes, and understand her desire for independence. But what Melony doesn’t realize is that the Amanjaku’s friendship has sinister consequences, and she quickly finds every aspect of her life controlled by the demon’s trickery—including herself. 
    Melony is determined to set things right, but will she be able to before the Amanjaku turns her life, her family, and her community upside down?
