Sinopse

Ralph Henry Barbour'Äôs "The Turner Twins" is a captivating tale that artfully blends adventure with the complexities of adolescence. Set against the backdrop of summer escapades and the trials of youth, the narrative follows twin brothers whose antics and camaraderie offer a vivid portrait of brotherly bonds. Barbour's style is characterized by its accessible prose and an insightful exploration of character development, resonating with themes of friendship, rivalry, and the transition to maturity. This novel is a prime example of early 20th-century children's literature, echoing the explorative spirit of its time while engaging readers through humor and relatable dilemmas. Barbour, an accomplished author known for his contributions to boys' fiction, often drew from his own experiences of youth and the outdoors. Growing up in a time when the values of sportsmanship and adventure were celebrated, Barbour wrote with the intention of inspiring young readers to confront challenges with resilience and camaraderie. His background in writing for periodicals and his deep appreciation for the sporting life heavily shape the vibrant scenarios presented in "The Turner Twins." This book is highly recommended for readers who appreciate classic tales of youth filled with spirited adventure and heartfelt lessons. Barbour'Äôs adept storytelling invites reflection and enjoyment, making it an excellent choice for both young readers navigating their own paths and adults who cherish nostalgia for the simplicities of childhood. Dive into this endearing narrative and explore the delightful mischief of the Turner twins.

    A diabolical character is out to rewrite the fate of all fairytales in the eighth adventure in the New York Times–bestselling children’s series.   Sabrina and Daphne Grimm have studied hundreds of stories as part of their training as fairy-tale detectives. But they’re about to get caught up in the action when they follow the scheming Master into the Book of Everafter. Inside this mysterious tome, copies of the world’s fairytale characters live out their stories over and over again.   The Grimms must track down the Master while avoiding the Book’s tyrannical Editor—who is devoted to keeping the stories on track—and his army of story-gobbling revisers. In the Book of Everafter, stories can be rewritten and destinies changed, which is why Sabrina and Daphne must find the Master before he can alter his own fate—and the fate of the whole world.   Reissued with new cover art, these anniversary editions of the beloved Sisters Grimm series are the perfect opportunity for old fans to revisit the Grimm family’s adventures and for new readers to discover the magic of the series.
