Sinopse

In "Peck's Bad Boy Abroad," George W. Peck masterfully continues the adventures of his beloved character, the mischievous "Bad Boy." This engaging work offers a delightful mix of humor and satire, presenting the escapades of the Bad Boy as he travels through Europe, encountering foreign customs and societal norms. Peck's distinctive style combines colloquial language with witty observations, blending elements of travel writing with the comedic genre. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, the book reflects a period of American expansionism and cultural curiosity, engaging with themes of identity and the contrasts between American and European sensibilities. George W. Peck, an influential humorist and writer of the turn-of-the-century American literary scene, draws upon his own experiences and observations from his travels. His background as a journalist and his understanding of the zeitgeist of a nation on the brink of modernity fuel his narratives. Peck's insights into both American life and international culture provide a rich tapestry that enhances the humorous misadventures of his protagonist. "Peck's Bad Boy Abroad" is a must-read for anyone seeking a lighthearted yet profound exploration of cultural differences and the spirit of adventure. Readers will enjoy Peck's sharp wit and engaging storytelling, making it a timeless classic that resonates with audiences even today.

Set at a camp over the course of six summers, this novel dives into the falling-out of two girls from different backgrounds who thought they'd be friends forever...until a production of Wicked brings all their buried issues to the surface. Claire Swinarski, Edgar Award nominee of the ALA Notable What Happened to Rachel Riley?, tackles privilege, perspective, and the power of friendship in this page-turning puzzle that readers will devour.  
Eowyn Becker has waited all year to attend her sixth summer at Lamplighter Lake Summer Camp. Here, the pain of her mom’s death can’t reach her, and she gets to reunite with her best friend, Jules Marrigan—the only person in the world who understands her. This year will be their year--Wicked, the girls' favorite musical, has been chosen for the camp's end-of-year production. If anyone can be Glinda to Eowyn's Elphaba, it's Jules! 
But when Eowyn arrives at camp, everything seems wrong. The best-friend reunion Eowyn had been dreaming of doesn’t go as planned. Jules will barely even look at Eowyn, let alone talk to her, and Eowyn has no idea why. 
Well, maybe she does… 
There are two sides to every story, and if you want to understand this one, you’ll need to hear both. Told in a series of alternating chapters that dip back to past summers, the girls’ story will soon reveal how Eowyn and Jules went from being best friends to fierce foils. Can they mend ways before the curtains close on what was supposed to be the best summer of their lives?
