Sinopsis

Lorna Doone: A Romance of Exmoor by R. D. Blackmore Lorna Doone: A Romance of Exmoor is a novel by English author Richard Doddridge Blackmore, published in 1869. It is a romance based on a group of historical characters and set in the late 17th century in Devon and Somerset, particularly around the East Lyn Valley area of Exmoor. In 2003, the novel was listed on the BBC's survey The Big Read.

John Ridd is the son of a respectable farmer in 17th century Exmoor, a region in North Devon and Somerset, England. The notorious Doone clan, once nobles and now outlaws, murdered John’s father. Battling his desire for revenge, John (in West Country dialect, pronounced "Jan") too grows into a respectable farmer who cares well for his mother and sisters. He meets Lorna by accident and falls hopelessly in love.

She turns out (apparently) to be the granddaughter of Sir Ensor, lord of the Doones. Sir Ensor’s impetuous and now jealous heir Carver will let nothing thwart his plan to marry Lorna once he comes into his inheritance.

    Oliver has a lot going on starting his first year of middle school: new friends, new classes, new everything. But at least there’s one thing that still makes sense: SCIENCE! Determined to be an astrophysicist one day, Oliver explains everything he learns—like how the sun burps, how ghost particles fly through you, and the uncanny similarities between Mercury and cafeteria meatballs. (Also, there are time-bending black holes, exploding supernova stars, and aliens! Well, there could be aliens.) 
     
    Oliver finally feels like he’s starting to figure things out … but can he stay out of the principal’s office, or catch a break from his annoying sister? With laugh-outloud humor, Oliver’s Great Big Universe follows an eleven-year-old who’s taking on the whole universe—if he can survive middle school first.
