Sophie May

Sinopse

Sophie May'Äôs "Little Pitchers: Flaxie Frizzle Stories" embarks on a whimsical journey into the life of Flaxie Frizzle, a spirited young girl whose adventures vividly capture the essence of childhood. Composed in a charming, accessible prose style, May employs rich descriptions and lively dialogue to immerse readers in Flaxie'Äôs world, touching upon themes of friendship, curiosity, and the trials of growing up. Within the broader context of 19th-century children'Äôs literature, May's work stands out for its ability to delicately balance humor and moral lessons, often reflecting the societal expectations of young girls during this period while still allowing for imaginative exploration and personal growth. Sophie May, a prominent figure in children'Äôs literature, wrote under a pseudonym and was influenced by her own experiences of childhood and education. A native of the American Northeast, May was dedicated to portraying relatable characters and realistic scenarios in her stories, fostering a connection between young readers and the narratives they encountered. Her passion for educating children can be felt throughout "Little Pitchers," showcasing her belief in the transformative power of books. I wholeheartedly recommend "Little Pitchers: Flaxie Frizzle Stories" to anyone interested in classic children'Äôs literature or seeking an entertaining yet meaningful read for young audiences. May'Äôs ability to captivate imaginations while imparting invaluable life lessons makes this collection an enriching addition to both personal and educational libraries.

The Time Snatcher - A Heist...

Randall Garrett

The Time Snatcher by Randall Garrett - Tampering with events of the past could bring disastrous results in the future. It was why Brek was given a pair of six-guns to catch—The Time Snatcher.
"We're in a hell of a jam, Brek," the Councillor said. "If Sagginer isn't stopped, he'll change history. The situation's desperate."
Time Patrolman Brek Halliday nodded in agreement. It was a tense situation. Time travel, he knew, was possible only so long as the traveller into the past did nothing that would change history significantly; the time-stream itself would straighten out little changes in the past so that overall history would remain the same.
But a big change was something else again. If you stick your finger in a river, there are a few ripples around it, but the flow of the river remains the same. If you build a dam, though....
"When is he?" Brek asked. "Do we know?"
"Fortunately, yes. He forced one of our operators to use one of the chronokinetic projectors, and then kidnapped her and took her with him. But he didn't know that the power drain was measurable and had been recorded on the meters. We know how much energy he used, so we know how far into the past he went. We've got him pinpointed in the area of the old United States, somewhere between 1880 and 1895."
"Who was the girl he kidnapped?" Brek asked.
The Councillor smiled apologetically. "Dori Clayton."
The muscles of Halliday's jaw tightened. "I see," he said stiffly. "When do I leave?"
"We'll prepare you immediately. It's going to be a touchy job to get both of them out of there, so watch yourself."
"Don't worry," Halliday said quietly. "I'll manage it." He walked out, eyes hot with rage, thinking of Dori in Sagginer's clutches. His hands slowly clenched and unclenched as he headed down the long hall.
