In "The Bungalow Boys Along the Yukon," John Henry Goldfrap embarks on an adventurous journey, blending elements of juvenile fiction with the allure of exploration. This early 20th-century novel follows the spirited escapades of two boys as they navigate the treacherous yet fascinating landscapes of the Yukon Territory. Goldfrap's engaging narrative style, characterized by vivid imagery and a playful tone, brings to life the harsh realities of frontier life while celebrating friendship, courage, and youthful curiosity. As a product of its time, the novel reflects the American spirit of adventure prevalent in post-World War I literature, appealing to the imaginations of young readers eager for thrilling tales of exploration and camaraderie.

His passion for storytelling, coupled with a profound interest in the great outdoors, informed his portrayal of the Yukon, echoing the spirit of historical accounts from the Klondike Gold Rush era. These influences are interwoven into the narrative, producing a richly textured backdrop that engages both young and adult readers alike. I highly recommend "The Bungalow Boys Along the Yukon" for those who seek an enchanting tale laden with adventure and the spirit of discovery. Its captivating plot, combined with Goldfrap'Äôs unique literary voice, offers valuable insights into the themes of perseverance and friendship, making it a compelling read for adventurers of all ages.

Angie Sage

The New York Times–bestselling author returns to the Magykal world of her “deliciously spellbinding” fantasy series with this eBook exclusive novella (Kirkus, starred review of Septimus Heap: Magyk). 
 
In this tale that takes place between the stories told in Magyk and Flyte, the witches of the Port Witch Coven want DomDaniel’s powerful Darke Toad—and will go to ridiculous lengths to get their hands on it. But first, Simon Heap must get his master to the Port Witch Coven’s door, which may require a bit more Darke Magyk—and a much stronger stomach—than he bargained for. Is Simon up to the task? 
 
Meanwhile, ExtraOrdinary Wizard Marcia Overstrand has taken her young Apprentice, Septimus Heap, on a field trip to the Port. But what Marcia had hoped would be a fun yet educational outing quickly turns chaotic, for it slipped Marcia’s mind that tonight is Hallowseeth—the perfect night for Darke mischief to go unnoticed among the revelers. 
 
With Angie Sage’s characteristic humor, beloved characters, and Magykal setting, Septimus Heap: The Darke Toad is a must-read for every Septimus fan.
