Sinopsis

In "A Year in a Yawl," Russell Doubleday captures the exhilarating spirit of youth and adventure through the true tale of four boys aboard a thirty-foot yawl. Written in a captivating narrative style that employs rich imagery and a vivid descriptive voice, Doubleday immerses readers in the joyous escapades and the challenges faced along the coast of New England. This book not only provides a thrilling account of their nautical adventures but also delves into themes of friendship, the journey to self-discovery, and the profound connection between humans and the sea, all framed within the literary context of early 20th-century American adventure writing. Russell Doubleday was an accomplished author and journalist whose experiences in nature and sailing informed his literary works.

These formative experiences imbue the narrative with authenticity, reflecting Doubleday'Äôs deep-seated respect for the rhythm of life at sea and the beauty of youthful exuberance. This book is highly recommended for readers of all ages who seek a nostalgic and heartfelt journey that intertwines adventure with the lessons of camaraderie and resilience. "A Year in a Yawl" will not only entertain but also inspire a longing for exploration and a deeper appreciation for the bonds forged in the crucible of adventure.

A detailed chronicle of the career of the late 1800s trailblazing investigative reporter, Nellie Bly. A letter to the Editor of The Pittsburgh Dispatch turned into a position of journalist with the paper. She tackled tough societal issues, unheard of from woman in those days. However, the businesses she exposed threatened to pull advertising, so she was moved to cover topics deemed more appropriate for a woman. She ultimately became a freelance journalist and later moved to New York and worked as an investigative reporter for New York World, often going undercover, or as it was called then, being a "stunt reporter". She also reported on her 72-day trip around the world. The biography details her marriage to a business tycoon, her time as President of the company and her ultimate return to journalism. Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Bly's story. Archival photographs, drawings, and paintings are chronologically arranged, adding visual context to her remarkable life and career, as well as the inclusion of further reading and website recommendations, maps, glossary, and index. Content developed for young readers, interest level grades 4-6 (reading level, grade 5).
