My Father's Dragon - A Whimsical Adventure of Friendship and Courage

Ruth Stiles Gannett

Beschreibung

In "My Father's Dragon," Ruth Stiles Gannett weaves a poignant tale of adventure and self-discovery, centered around a young boy named Elmer Elevator. The narrative style is characterized by its vivid imagery and gentle prose, capturing the whimsical yet profound essence of childhood imagination. Gannett crafts a world where Elmer'Äôs quest to rescue a baby dragon unfolds through a series of engaging encounters with fantastical creatures, reflecting themes of courage, loyalty, and the power of friendship. The book, published in 1948, sits comfortably within the canon of children'Äôs literature, echoing the era's fascination with anthropomorphic characters and moral tales, while also carving its niche through its imaginative plot and relatable protagonist. Ruth Stiles Gannett, an American author born into a family with a rich literary heritage, drew inspiration from her childhood experiences and the stories told to her by her parents. Growing up surrounded by imagination and creativity, her early readings and her deeply held belief in the importance of storytelling shaped her writing. Gannett'Äôs unique perspective as a young storyteller culminates in this timeless work, making it resonate with both young audiences and adult readers alike. "My Father's Dragon" is a compelling invitation to audiences of all ages to reconnect with their inner child and embark on an enchanting journey. Its themes of bravery and compassion leave a lasting impression, ensuring that it is not just a story for children but a universal tale that speaks to the heart. I highly recommend this enchanting read for anyone who cherishes well-crafted tales that remind us of the magic inherent in both adventure and imagination.

Zack & Zoey's Alien Apocalypse -...

MJ Ware

When hungry aliens begin their 'rain' of terror, break out the umbrellas—the aliens can't eat you with an umbrella shoved in their huge mouths. 
Looking for yummy human tenders, Admiral Nact-bauk invades the local school. Zack and Zoey lead the counterattack armed with rulers, protractors, and dodge balls. 
They might have a chance, if Nact-bauk didn't gulp down the only teacher brave enough to stand up to him. Even worse, he forces Zoey onboard the alien vessel for dinner — along with a bucket of honey-mustard sauce. 
Zack will do just about anything to save her. If Principal Blathers won't help, Zack sees no choice but to 'borrow' the principal's car. Chasing the alien saucers, he meets up with a wrinkly WWII hero who thinks he knows the alien's weakness: electric toothbrushes. 
Wielding only umbrellas and battery-powered dental weapons, things look grim. Even if the pair manage to rescue Zoey, there's the small matter of escaping a spacecraft soaring faster than a jet fighter. 
Can you say, Jetpacks? 
Zack & Zoey's Alien Apocalypse is approximately 17,000 words (similar in length to Diary of a Wimpy Kid) and contains scenes of intense action, no cursing or strong language is used.
