Sinopsis

R. M. Ballantyne'Äôs 'ÄòThe Lighthouse'Äô is a captivating maritime adventure that intertwines themes of solitude, survival, and the complexities of human nature. Set against the backdrop of a remote Scottish lighthouse, the narrative unfolds through the eyes of the young protagonist, who embarks on a journey of self-discovery and moral fortitude amid the perilous storms that embody his physical and internal challenges. Ballantyne's vivid descriptions and detailed attention to nautical life serve not only as a thrilling chronicle but also as a reflection on the romantic ideals of the era, exploring the human spirit in the face of nature's indomitable forces.

Influenced by the Romantic movement, Ballantyne's works often convey a moral message, seamlessly blending adventure with instructive lessons. His familiarity with maritime life and rich storytelling made him a key figure in shaping the genre, allowing readers to witness the transformative power of the sea through nuanced characters. I highly recommend 'ÄòThe Lighthouse'Äô to readers interested in adventure narratives that challenge the human spirit. Its rich prose and compelling storyline offer not only entertainment but also a profound reflection on individual courage and resilience.

Hope in the Valley

Mitali Perkins

"A riveting, courage-filled story." - Kirkus Starred Reviews 
 
Hope in the Valley, from National Book Award Nominee Mitali Perkins, is a middle-grade novel exploring grief, friendship, family, and growing up in a community facing a housing crisis. 
 
Twelve-year-old Indian-American Pandita Paul doesn't like change. She's not ready to start middle school and leave the comforts of childhood behind. Most of all, Pandita doesn't want to feel like she's leaving her mother, who died a few years ago, behind. After a falling out with her best friend, Pandita is planning to spend most of her summer break reading and writing in her favorite secret space: the abandoned but majestic mansion across the street. 
 
But then the unthinkable happens. The town announces that the old home will be bulldozed in favor of new—maybe affordable—housing. With her family on opposing sides of the issue, Pandita must find her voice—and the strength to move on—in order to give her community hope.
