Summary

In "The Young Explorer; Or, Claiming His Fortune," Horatio Jr. Alger crafts a quintessential coming-of-age narrative emblematic of 19th-century American literature. This work encapsulates the spirit of adventure and the relentless pursuit of the American Dream, as the protagonist embarks on a quest for prosperity and self-discovery in a rapidly changing world. Alger'Äôs signature style, characterized by moral optimism and straightforward prose, chronicles the trials and triumphs of youth seeking fortune, while also reflecting larger themes of perseverance, integrity, and social mobility within the context of post-Civil War America. Horatio Alger, a noted author and social reformer, was profoundly influenced by the hardships of his own upbringing and the prevailing socio-economic realities of his time. His life experiences as a teacher and a clergyman informed his belief in the power of hard work and virtue as pathways to success. This belief resonates throughout his narratives, as he often portrays young, impoverished characters who rise to prominence through grit and moral fortitude, mirroring his desire to inspire hope in his readership amidst the adversities of the era. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Young Explorer" to readers seeking an engaging tale imbued with lessons on resilience and moral character. Alger'Äôs beloved narrative not only entertains but also serves as an insightful commentary on the human spirit's ability to overcome challenges in pursuit of one's dreams, making it a timeless addition to the canon of American literature.

    Loki's third diary in the number one bestselling series. 
     
     
     
    When Heimdall and Hyrrokkin abandon their "children" to go on holiday, Odin sends Baldur—Thor's half brother and god of making Loki look bad—to babysit. 
     
     
     
    As Baldur and Thor bond, Loki's attempts to prove he's good start getting a bit desperate. After the drama teacher casts him as the villain in the school play, Loki starts to wonder whether there's any point in being good when everyone seems convinced of his villainy. 
     
     
     
    That is until he discovers a rather unusual ring among the costumes and props. A ring that looks suspiciously like the cursed ring of Andvari, one that promises Loki the world if only he gives in to his deepest, darkest desires . . .

    Book two in this fast-paced and exciting series for middle grade fantasy, mystery, and animal buffs. 
    Noah and his friends thought they had seen it all during their first journey into the Secret Zoo—but it was only the beginning. Now they must train to become Crossers, members of a secret society who freely travel to the Secret Zoo and back, helping to defend its borders. But now that the monstrous sasquatches are on the loose and the evil Shadowist is plotting destruction, will Noah, Megan, Ella, and Richie have what it takes to survive? 
    The author originally had the idea for The Secret Zoo when he was nine and wondered what would happen if zoo exhibits had secret doors that allowed kids to go inside—and the animals to come outside. He brings that sense of adventure and excitement to this story, making it a favorite for home and classroom reading along with such middle grade fantasy favorites as The One and Only Ivan.

    Why do People Like Gaming? Well, many millions of professionals and worried parents have been asking themselves this very question for at least fifty years. 
    When video gaming started in the Seventies, most people saw it as a bit of fun, but as the craze took hold, even in that decade, intellectuals and educationists began calling it `a stupid distraction`, and the gamers `dumb`. This continued until fairly recently, and millions of disparaging words were written about video games and gamers.  
    However, the tide is now turning, and `experts` are pontificating on the positive aspects of gaming on gamers…even on very young ones. All the while this debate swirled around them, gamers just got on with what they liked doing the most - playing video games. 
    Much has been written about why gaming took the youth of the Seventies by storm, and why now, people of all ages love to play. Some like the rôle-playing, others like the virtual risk-taking, and others like to hone skills that they would not ordinarily use. 
    Some even dream of joining the thin ranks of the millionaire élite gamers. 
    Whatever your reason, may you long derive pleasure from your hobby, and may The Force be with you! 
    The information in this ebook on various types of games, video, computer, arcade and related subjects, is organised into 16 chapters of about 500-600 words each. 
    As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first.
