In "Taken by the Enemy," Oliver Optic delivers a compelling narrative set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, weaving themes of bravery, sacrifice, and loyalty throughout its pages. The novel features a captivating blend of adventure and moral introspection, rendered in Optic's signature style that combines accessible language with vivid imagery. The plot centers on the harrowing experiences of a group of young soldiers as they confront the brutal realities of war and the complexities of their captured comrades. This work exemplifies Optic's commitment to portraying the heroic ideals of his time while examining the inherent struggles faced by youth caught in the tumult of conflict. Oliver Optic, the pen name of William Taylor Adams, was an influential American author known for his prolific contributions to juvenile literature in the late 19th century. Adams's own experiences as a sailor and teacher, coupled with his fascination for tales of adventure, undoubtedly informed the creation of "Taken by the Enemy."

This book is highly recommended for readers who seek an engaging exploration of the Civil War through the eyes of youth, blending historical context with thrilling narrative. Optic's rich storytelling not only entertains but also invites readers to reflect on the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity, making it an essential addition to the libraries of both young adults and history enthusiasts.

We Are A Circus is the charming, autobiographical tale of a rainbow family, riding around Thessaloniki on a bike. They are poor and living precariously, but they are happy together and have fun in the sun and in the rain (though sometimes they get a bit cold).
As the book progresses, we follow them through the seasons, playing and cycling and fending off the weather. When their landlord turfs them out of their house, things get more serious as they have to find a new home, fast.
Nasta has created an exuberant, compassionate story, which is beautifully complemented by Rosie Fencott's energetic artwork.
**Longlisted for the 2024 Klaus Flugge Illustration Award **
We are a circus.
Fortunately not like the ones that train animals.
(Fortunately means "happiness")
We are trained by animals! They even make us jump through flaming hoops!

I am kidding. Animals would never do this.
