Sinossi

The Empire Annual for Girls, 1911, is an anthology that captures the spirit of early 20th-century literature aimed at young female readers. This collection features a variety of stories, illustrations, and articles that inspire courage, imagination, and resilience, reflecting the socio-cultural values of the Edwardian era. The literary style spans whimsical, moralistic narratives and vibrant illustrations, presenting a rich tapestry of escapism and adventure, while subtly reinforcing traditional gender roles amidst the burgeoning suffrage movement. The anthology, compiled by various contributors, includes prominent writers and illustrators of the time, showcasing women's diverse experiences and aspirations. The context in which this volume was produced is critical, as it reflects an era of transition, where girls began to envision new possibilities beyond domesticity. The authors, likely influenced by the shifting societal norms and emerging literary trends, crafted stories that allowed young readers to explore their identities in a rapidly changing world. This annual is highly recommended for readers interested in children's literature, gender studies, or early 20th-century culture. It serves as both an educational resource and a nostalgic journey, delighting those who seek to understand the aspirations and challenges faced by girls of that period.

    An Edgar Allan Poe Award Nominee! 
    From Edgar Award nominee and WNDB cofounder Lamar Giles, this middle grade adventure stars the Epic Ellison twins as they race to solve the mystery of Cosmos Camp for young geniuses in a stand-alone companion to the Legendary Alston Boys series. 
    School’s out, and Wiki and Leen Ellison are facing a new challenge…their first summer apart. Genius inventor Leen has been accepted to Petey Thunkle’s world-famous summer training program for STEM prodigies with their eyes on the stars. Meanwhile, Wiki is looking forward to her first summer on her own, running the family corn stand and outclassing Otto and Sheed Alston. 
    But the night before Leen’s departure, the twins find out that Wiki has also been accepted into the same camp (even though she didn’t apply). And they are...not thrilled. This summer was never supposed to be a Twin Thing. The situation soon goes from bad to worse—because the Ellisons haven’t been invited just to participate in the program. 
    They’re there to solve a mystery. 
    Someone (or something) has been tampering with the company’s upcoming big-deal rocket launch. Now the sisters are undercover, dealing with hypercompetitive campers by day and trying to stop the mysterious saboteur by night. 
    All is not as it seems at PeteyTech. There are bigger, badder forces at play than the girls could’ve imagined. And if Wiki and Leen don’t get their act together fast, their first epic adventure away from Logan County could end up an epic fail...for the entire world.

    Biplanes have been flying the mail in short hops all over the country—during daylight hours, when pilots can see where they’re going. But crashes are still too common, so lawmakers decide to cut funding for the U.S. Air Mail Service. 
     
    Outraged officials and pilots concoct a daring plan to save the service—a nonstop, coast-to-coast race—to prove that keeping mail in the air is the fastest way to move it across America. 
     
    But when a crash, exhaustion, and a snowstorm threaten the race, Jack Knight steps up. All he has to do is fly all night long. Through a blizzard. Over land he’s never covered. With a nearly empty fuel tank.

    England is in the throes of the War of the Roses. As the houses of Lancaster and York vie for the crown, young Richard Shelton eagerly serves under his guardian, Sir Daniel Brackley, whose lessons he hopes will make him worthy of becoming a knight. But Sir Daniel and his allies have been targeted by the outlaws known as the fellowship of the Black Arrow. This band of archers has a different lesson to teach Dick about loyalty, honor, revenge, and the ambiguities between good and evil. Originally serialized in a periodical of boys' adventure fiction, The Black Arrow furthered the genre of the historical novel through its swashbuckling action and its portrayal of a young man's journey to discover the heroism within himself.
