Sinopsis

In "Still'ÄîWilliam," Richmal Crompton invites readers back into the vibrant world of William Brown, a mischievous schoolboy whose adventures capture the essence of childhood innocence and rebellion. The narrative is marked by Crompton's signature wit and humor, interwoven with vivid descriptions and relatable characters that explore themes of friendship, family, and the bittersweet nature of growing up. The book shines as a quintessential piece of British children's literature from the early 20th century, reflecting societal norms and educational practices while also revealing the timeless escapades of youth. Richmal Crompton (1890-1969) was an English author whose own childhood experiences and educational challenges informed her portrayal of William Brown. With a background in both literature and teaching, Crompton wrote "Still'ÄîWilliam" as part of the much-loved William series, which resonated with her contemporary readers seeking both laughter and a reflection of their own youthful antics. Her writing is characterized by a profound understanding of children's behavior and a keen observational style that highlights the contradictions inherent in growing up. I highly recommend "Still'ÄîWilliam" to anyone who appreciates the charm of classic children's literature, as well as to educators and parents aiming to understand the dynamics of childhood. Crompton'Äôs delightful narrative not only entertains but also imparts valuable insights into the complexities of youth, making it a must-read for both children and adults alike.

    Abraham Lincoln is one of the most famous Americans in history and one of the country’s most revered presidents. Schoolchildren can recite the life story of Lincoln, the “Westerner” who educated himself and became a self made man, rising from lawyer to leader of the new Republican Party before becoming the 16th President of the United States. Lincoln successfully navigated the Union through the Civil War but didn’t live to witness his crowning achievement, becoming the first president assassinated when he was shot at Ford’s Theater by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865.  
    In the generation after the Civil War, Lincoln became an American deity and one of the most written about men in history. With such a sterling reputation, even historians hesitate to write a critical word; in Team of Rivals Doris Kearns Goodwin casts Lincoln as an almost superhuman puppet master in control of his Cabinet’s political machinations and the war’s direction, juggling the balancing act flawlessly. As a result, Lincoln the man is far less known than Lincoln the myth.  
    Jefferson Davis holds a unique place in American history, as the man best remembered for being the president of the Confederacy during the Civil War. While other famous Confederates like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson are still celebrated across the reunited country, Davis continues to be the object of scorn, derided over his attempt to flee after the Civil War and criticized as ineffective by historians. Among the Confederates still lauded by today’s Southerners, Davis is well down the list. History has accorded Abraham Lincoln a spot in the pantheon of American politics for the manner in which he steered the Union to victory and into the Reconstruction period after the war. In turn, Davis has been heavily criticized.

    A battle for the Overworld is brewing and I need to be there! 
    	I used to be a regular kid, until I got stuck in Minecraft. But you probably know that, right? 
    	Amelia and I are busy decoding the second clue when we get a request from our favourite farting creeper to join the battle. But there’s no way we can make it on time… unless we find a shortcut. 
    	Along the way we meet some forgetful players, fortune-telling endermen and a witch who we highly suspect eats children. Or at least baby villagers. 
    	Oh, and I take a lava bath. I don’t recommend it. But being a chicken in Minecraft can be fun. At least, some of the time!

    Before Ruth Bader Ginsburg, there was Louis D. Brandeis: a lawyer/activist turned Supreme Court Justice who drew on common sense and Jewish values to make a difference.  
      
    This nonfiction book for young readers ages 7–10 brings to life a man full of wit and common sense, a trailblazer to inspire Jewish and non-Jewish readers alike. 
      
    Louis Brandeis knows it’s up to him to change the world. He has seen how some people are treated poorly because of their race or their religion or because they are poor. If I were a lawyer like Uncle Dembitz, he thinks, I could fight for those who need extra help. Guided by his uncle’s example, his father’s practical wisdom, and Jewish values of equality and justice, Brandeis gets to work as a lawyer, making sure everyone has a chance. Louis knows it’s important to fight for worker’s rights and women’s rights. Louis knows (before most people!) that everyone has the right to privacy. And Louis knows it’s important to support arguments with facts. 
      
    What Louis doesn’t know is that he’ll become the first Jewish Supreme Court Justice in 1916, and his fight for justice will only continue. 
      
    "What the first Jewish U.S. Supreme Court justice knew could fill a book … A solid introduction to an honorable man, known for his fair-minded rulings."—Kirkus Reviews
