Beschreibung

In "A Boy's Fortune; Or, The Strange Adventures of Ben Baker," Horatio Alger Jr. masterfully weaves a tale that embodies the quintessential themes of American optimism and the transformative power of hard work and perseverance. Set against the backdrop of 19th century America, the narrative follows young Ben Baker as he navigates a series of trials and tribulations, showcasing Alger'Äôs signature narrative style that blends adventure with moral lessons. The novel encapsulates the ethos of the era, reflecting the belief in meritocracy and the pursuit of the American Dream, while employing a straightforward yet engaging prose that appeals to both young readers and adults alike. Horatio Alger Jr. was a prolific author whose works largely focused on the rags-to-riches motif, influenced by his own experiences as a clergyman and his observations of societal struggles. His background during the post-Civil War period, a time of great change and opportunity in America, informed his writing. Alger understood the aspirations of young boys seeking to improve their lot in life, and through Ben Baker, he offers readers an emblematic journey of hope and ambition.

    A fantastical tale of a boy who finds something amazing in the forest—and then finds the courage to stop hiding . . .   At school, Brennon Trapper does whatever he must do to be liked, but at home inside his trailer, he crawls back inside himself, wishing he could disappear. His father likely wouldn’t even notice if he did.   Then, something too incredible to believe happens on his family’s wooded property, and Brennon and his younger brother vow to keep it from their parents rather than risk ridicule again. Seriously, who would believe that a beaver gave them a tesserapod that could develop into a lodge of sorts in two hundred days if grounded correctly?   But when an epic blizzard destroys the roof of their trailer, Brennon finally comes clean about the woods and what he thinks may be a place of shelter.

He suspects there's someone evil lurking in the darkness, someone who's planning a terrible revenge. When strange things begin to happen again, he's plunged back into a world of sarcastic detectives and frightening mercenaries, awkward romance and the supernatural.

And to make matters worse, if the master criminal known as The Ghost finds the two remaining Lazarus Keys he will become extremely powerful. More powerful than anyone who has ever lived. The only people who can unravel the mystery and stop The Ghost are Colm, his annoying cousin, The Brute, and a pretty American teenager. Time is running out and the clock is ticking. But how do you stop what you can't see?
