Synopsis

In "Dick Hamilton's Touring Car; Or, A Young Millionaire's Race For A Fortune," Howard Roger Garis masterfully captures the exuberant spirit of early 20th-century America through the eyes of a young millionaire, Dick Hamilton. The narrative is infused with adventure and excitement, reflecting the era's fascination with automobiles and the emerging culture of youth and wealth. Garis employs a straightforward yet engaging prose style that appeals to both young readers and adults, intertwining themes of ambition, friendship, and the moral dilemmas faced by the affluent in pursuit of their fortunes. Howard Roger Garis (1873-1939) was a prolific author best known for his contributions to children's literature and adventure stories. His background in journalism and his keen observation of society during an era of rapid technological change likely informed his portrayal of the quintessential American young adult. Garis often infused his characters with an entrepreneurial spirit, mirroring his own values, and emphasizing the importance of hard work and integrity amidst the temptations of wealth. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in historical fiction that celebrates the spirit of adventure and the dynamics of wealth in a rapidly evolving society. Garis's work not only entertains but also prompts reflection on the responsibilities that accompany affluence, making it a captivating read for both young adults and nostalgic readers alike.

    Lauren has a secret. Colby has a problem. But when they find each other, everything falls into place. From the author of the Charmed Life series. 
     
    In alternating chapters of verse and prose, new girl Lauren and football hero Colby come together, fall apart, and build something stronger than either of them thought possible—something to truly believe in. 
     
    “Writing in alternating viewpoints, with Lauren’s chapters unfolding in free verse and Colby’s in prose, Schroeder (Falling for You) offers a thoughtful, straightforward, and fairly chaste romance between two kind, generous teens—one burdened by her past, one burdened by his future.” —Publishers Weekly 
     
    “The alternating chapters of Lauren’s poetry and Colby’s conversational prose are well written and help reveal the characters refreshingly unique perspectives, as well as their growth in positive ways . . . This light, fast-paced story will delight romance fans looking for a fun, hopeful read.” —School Library Journal 
     
    “Familiar characters and a quiet plot are elevated by poetry that is as beautiful as it is varied. Lovely in its details.” —Kirkus Reviews
