Sinopse

In "Bob the Castaway; Or, The Wreck of the Eagle," Frank V. Webster masterfully weaves a tale of adventure and survival. The narrative follows young Bob, who, after a maritime disaster, finds himself shipwrecked on a desolate island. Webster's prose is engaging and vivid, employing a straightforward style that reflects the themes of resilience and determination amidst nature'Äôs brutal challenges. The novel, published during the early 20th century, belongs to the popular boys'Äô adventure genre, characterized by its emphasis on moral lessons and the valorization of resourcefulness in the face of adversity. Frank V. Webster, pseudonym of Franklin W. Dixon, was an influential writer known for crafting tales that captivated young readers. His experiences growing up during a time of economic upheaval likely influenced his storytelling, particularly his focus on perseverance and self-reliance.

This book is highly recommended for readers seeking a thrilling tale that features themes of courage, adventure, and personal growth. Ideal for both young adults and nostalgic readers, Webster'Äôs narrative not only entertains but also imparts important life lessons, making it a timeless addition to any literary collection.

    What’s Left of Me, the first book of the Hybrid Chronicles, is set in an alternate reality where everyone is born with two souls. But one soul is naturally dominant, and in early childhood, the other soul is expected to fade away. That is the natural way of things—but that’s not what happened for Addie and Eva. 
     
    Now fifteen, Eva clings to life inside the body she shares with Addie, although she can no longer speak or even move. Meanwhile, Addie does everything she can to hide the presence of her sister soul. Eva’s very existence is illegal. If their secret is revealed, it could mean death for both of them.

    The Little Soul and the Sun is a simple and powerful story that brings children a profound truth: there is no absolute good or bad, only love.  The Little Soul and the Sun gracefully explains spiritual concepts to children and shares a story that helps readers remember the angel within us all. Your child will discover a God that she or he can love, because God is love, as are all the Little Souls who are a part of God. And perhaps parents, too, will rediscover who they really are.   A little soul discusses at length with God how he can learn to experience who he really is and which “part of special” he wants to be. The little soul decides he wants to be forgiving; thus another little soul soon obliges by offering to do something “not-so-nice”, so that the first little soul can experience forgiveness. Such messages as “everybody is special, each in their own way” and “it is special to be kind; it is special to be creative” are important for all children to hear, regardless of their faith.
