Sinopse

In "The Motion Picture Chums' New Idea," Victor Appleton takes readers on an exhilarating journey into the world of early cinema, portraying the adventures of a group of enthusiastic young filmmakers. With a narrative style that blends engaging dialogue and vivid descriptions, Appleton captures the thrill of innovation and the burgeoning motion picture industry during the early 20th century. Reflecting the zeitgeist of a period marked by rapid technological advancements and the growing influence of film on popular culture, this work skillfully weaves themes of friendship, creativity, and ambition into a delightful coming-of-age tale. Victor Appleton, a pseudonym often associated with the Stratemeyer Syndicate, was an influential figure in children's literature, known for crafting engaging stories that ignite young imaginations. His familiarity with the entertainment industry and an understanding of youth culture undoubtedly shaped his portrayal of the chums' ventures in filmmaking. Appleton's rich background in serial storytelling and a keen eye for setting contemporary social contexts framed his approach to this narrative, which resonates deeply with youthful aspirations and the collective spirit of discovery. I highly recommend "The Motion Picture Chums' New Idea" to readers who cherish tales of creativity and exploration. This book not only offers an entertaining escapade into the nascent film world but also provides insight into the imaginations of youth—perfect for budding filmmakers and dreamers alike.

    Hickory, Dickory, Dock! 
    The mouse ran up the clock. 
    The clock struck one, 
    The mouse ran down, 
    Hickory, Dickory, Dock! 
    WITHIN the hollow wall of an old brick mansion, away up near the roof, there lived a family of mice. It was a snug little home, pleasant and quiet, and as dark as any mouse could desire. Mamma Mouse liked it because, as she said, the draught that came through the rafters made it cool in summer, and they were near enough to the chimney to keep warm in winter-time. 
    Besides the Mamma Mouse there were three children, named Hickory and Dickory and Dock. There had once been a Papa Mouse as well; but while he was hunting for food one night he saw a nice piece of cheese in a wire box, and attempted to get it. The minute he stuck his head into the box, however, it closed with a snap that nearly cut his head off, and when Mamma Mouse came down to look for him he was quite dead. The story becomes better after this somber opening, trust me. Find out why those mice ran up that clock.

The story also draws parallels with the complex family dynamics observed in some of society's most influential figures - including the Musks, the Sacklers, the Trumps, the Roys and others - as the terriflying consequences of greed and megalomania continue to unfold amongst the world's most powerful. 
    In Caro Carrowack Damian and Luis. masterfully weave a tale of resilience, self discovery, wit and the pursuit of worth in the face of adversity. Intended to sperak to parents and young adults alike, everyone is invited to join Caro as she navigates the tumultuous waters of their own identity and her moral compass, and seeks a place in the world that often feels indifferent.
