Synopsis

In "The Boy Scouts for Home Protection," Robert Shaler presents a compelling and insightful exploration of self-sufficiency and community resilience amid the growing anxieties of early 20th-century America. Through a blend of practical advice and narrative style, Shaler encapsulates the Boy Scouts' ethos by emphasizing skills crucial for personal and familial safety. The literary context intertwines notions of patriotism and preparedness, as Shaler distills scouting into actionable steps for protecting one'Äôs home, illuminating the intersection of civic duty and individual responsibility during a turbulent era marked by global conflicts and societal change. Robert Shaler, a prominent figure in the early Boy Scouts movement, shaped his views through personal experiences in burgeoning urban landscapes, where issues of security and self-reliance prompted his reflections. His background, intertwined with a passionate commitment to youth education and outdoor skills, served as fertile ground for the development of this work. Shaler's tenure as a scout leader greatly influenced his approach, ensuring the text resonates authentically with aspiring young scouts and their guardians alike. This book is an invaluable resource for those interested in historical perspectives on community protection and the values of the scouting movement. It offers readers not only actionable strategies but also a rich narrative that invites reflection on resilience and preparedness in today'Äôs chaotic world.

    A funny, playful salute to the value of books and libraries from the New York Times best-selling and beloved author Carmen Agra Deedy. 
    Sunrise Elementary School had a BIG problem. Their new librarian was a real Dragon!  
    When Miss Lotta Scales read an ad for a thick-skinned librarian with a burning love of books, she knew she was perfect for the job. After all, who could guard books better than a real dragon?  
    She took her job seriously: hundreds of new, clean books replaced the old, smudged ones. The thought of sticky little fingers touching and clutching her precious books made her hot under the collar! The principal tried to reason with her, and she singed his tie. The teachers sent a delegation, including sweet Miss Lemon, who told her “the library belongs to the children,” but they were all sent away scorched.  
    When nearsighted Molly Brickmeyer stumbled into the library looking for her glasses, she bumped into a shelf, and a book tumbled into her hands. As she began to read aloud, and the children came to listen, they came face to face with Miss Lotta Scales. Could a book read out loud temper the flames of the school’s hot-headed librarian?

    “Hurry up, Timmy!” shouted his father. “The sheep will get away from us.” 
    “But, I’m trying my best father,” answered the young 11-year-old boy who was also aspiring to be a shepherd. 
    The night felt special and magical to the other shepherds who were keeping watch over their sheep and goats from vicious animals such as foxes, wolves, lions, and other fierce meat-eating creatures in the dark quiet night in the hills of Israel. They had gotten used to staying up late and even keeping watch over several hundred sheep all at once and at various times. Timmy had Betsy in his hands. She was just a couple of months old. She was his pet. “Ah, tonight feels different from other nights,” said Roadster to Joshua, Timmy’s father. Joshua replied, “Ah, I wonder if something will happen.” “It does feel too quiet and calm.”

    DRAGONS, MERMAIDS, WIZARDS AND NINJAS. BELIEVING IS JUST THE BEGINNING …  
    Twins Rose and Arthur love visiting their imaginary world of Roar which is hidden inside a folding camp bed in their grandad’s attic. When they can’t get to Roar, Rose writes about it instead, inventing the Dragonlands, a realm where the dragons are ferocious and a clan of witches are rumoured to be rising. She makes up a school for young Dragon Riders and, of course, writes herself as the star pupil. 
    When Arthur reads Rose’s story he can’t believe he’s been left out. They argue and the story gets shoved deep inside the folding camp bed…where it bursts into life. Now Rose, Arthur and Win must race to the Dragonlands, enrol at Dragon Rider Academy and try to stop to the disaster they have set in motion. But do they have what it takes to become Dragon Riders? And can Arthur survive a term in a school invented by his sister? 
    If only Rose had written an ending to her story…
