Sinossi

In "The Boy Scouts at the Panama-Pacific Exposition," John Henry Goldfrap artfully combines adventure and camaraderie against the backdrop of one of the most significant world fairs in early 20th-century America. Through vibrant narrative and engaging dialogues, Goldfrap crafts a tale that captures the spirit of the Boy Scouts as they navigate various challenges and experiences at the exposition. The book not only provides entertainment but also serves to promote the values of resourcefulness, teamwork, and patriotism, which were central to the Boy Scouts' mission during a time when the nation was shaping its identity on the world stage. John Henry Goldfrap, an ardent supporter of the Boy Scouts movement, was deeply influenced by the principles of self-reliance and public service that the organization espoused. His background as an educator and a writer allowed him to translate his observations of youth culture and societal shifts into captivating tales that resonated with young readers. The nuances of his narrative often reflect the educational principles he valued, aligning with the era's focus on character building and development among boys. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in historical adventures or those seeking to understand the cultural dynamics of early 20th-century America. Goldfrap's engaging storytelling invites readers of all ages to join the Boy Scouts on their journey, making it a timeless tale of exploration and friendship.

    Mick is a good kid, but maybe he can use just a little guidance. But it's unclear who will be guiding whom, because Mick's brother came home from Tibet with the self-proclaimed Guru Lumpo Smythe-Finkel and his dog Lhasa—and then promptly settled both of them in Mick's bedroom. 
     
     
     
    The thing about this kind of guru is that he doesn't seem to know exactly what he's trying to do. He sure does seem to be hungry, though. 
     
     
     
    So Mick agrees to something like a quest, roaming the suburbs with the oddest group of misfits: Lumpo and Lhasa; graffiti-fanatic Verne; and Verne's unusual friend Molly. Molly is a Dwergish girl—don't worry if you don't know what that is yet—and she seems to be going off the rails a bit. 
     
     
     
    Along the way, the gang will get invited to a rollicking ghost party, consult a very strange little king, and actually discover the truth about Heaven. Or a version of the truth anyway, because in a Daniel Pinkwater tale, the truth is never the slightest bit like what you're expecting.
