Sinopsis

In "Motor Matt's Launch; or, A Friend in Need," Stanley R. Matthews crafts an exhilarating tale that epitomizes early 20th-century adventure fiction, blending themes of camaraderie and resilience with technical ingenuity. This installment of the Motor Matt series humorously explores the protagonist's mechanical prowess against a backdrop of crashing waves and navigational challenges. Matthews employs a serialized storytelling style that not only captivates young readers with thrilling escapades but also imparts lessons on friendship and reliability, all underpinned by vivid descriptions and engaging dialogue reflective of the period's pulp fiction genre. Stanley R. Matthews, a prolific author of children's literature during the early automotive era, drew inspiration from the emerging fascination with machines and adventure among young audiences. His expertise in mechanics and a keen interest in popular culture inform his narratives, engaging young readers' imaginations while imparting practical knowledge of motor vehicles and teamwork. Matthews'Äôs experiences as a writer of serialized stories allowed him to refine his narrative style, making it both accessible and informative. This book is a must-read for enthusiasts of vintage adventure tales and educators seeking to introduce themes of problem-solving and friendship to young audiences. Matthews' engaging storytelling will not only entertain readers but also encourage a love of reading and exploration of technology.

    Finding a Familiar

    Aria, a young red headed girl, has been content to wander the forest, talking with the animals and enjoying her life. But this week she needs to focus and finally choose a Familiar (that is, her very own animal companion). The problem is that Aria cannot decide on one! For the first time, Aria must travel the forest by herself to find one. Armed with only her compassion, her adventurous heart, and perhaps a few other abilities, she must face the dangers of the world, find a familiar, and return home in time for her village’s familiar ceremony. 
    Finding a Familiar is the first chapter book in the Aria’s Adventures book series. It is a cute, adventurous story to be enjoyed by both parent and child alike. In her journey Aria and her friends learn about how to empathize with others, grow in friendship, and deal with their own emotions and the emotions of others. Aria must also learn how to confront people who have less capacity for empathy. It may be the most important book series that Dantes has had the joy of writing, since empathy is a key theme. It is a virtue that many people in our society (including the author at times) struggle to learn and live. May we all grow in coming to know and understand the unique perspectives of other people.

    Sometimes an invention is so good that no one will believe you. There you are, with a fabulous new piece of technology that is worth millions and you are still starving to death because you are a 'crackpot'. Well, if you are smart, like the inventor in this story, you learn your lesson and start telling people your invention is just something they know and use every day, just a bit better. Sure it's a lie but people have to believe before they will part with the big bucks. If it works, it ain't stupid. And this inventor is definitely not stupid. Randall Garrett gives us a wonderfully wry story about human nature in his unique and very entertaining way. Listen and enjoy.
