In "Honor Bright," Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards weaves a compelling narrative steeped in themes of moral integrity, social justice, and the complexities of human relationships. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century American society, the novel employs a lyrical yet accessible prose style that reflects the era's shifting moral landscape. Through rich character development and poignant dialogue, Richards explores the challenges faced by individuals striving to uphold their principles in the face of societal pressures, culminating in a profound commentary on honor, friendship, and sacrifice. Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards, an influential figure in American literature, was a fervent advocate for women's rights and abolition. Her life's experiences, including her involvement with suffragism and social reform movements, significantly informed her writing. This passion for justice is palpable in "Honor Bright," as Richards channels her convictions into her characters and their struggles, making the narrative not just a story but a reflection of her own ideals. Readers seeking a deep, thought-provoking exploration of ethical dilemmas and human resilience will find "Honor Bright" a transformative experience. Richards'Äô blend of historical context and personal conviction invites readers to contemplate their own understanding of honor and integrity in a complex world.

In this spinoff to the New York Times–bestselling Goosebumps series, two siblings rescue their uncle when he mysteriously turns into a Jack-in-the-box. 
 
Devin and his sister Violet are visiting their Uncle Jack for the summer. He lives in an old house by the seashore. Jack was a sailor and he has collected strange and fascinating items from the sea. Exploring a back room, Devin and Violet discover a locked trunk. A pirate’s chest. The trunk is wrapped in old, heavy chains and locked with a huge rusted lock. But they manage to get it open. They lift the lid slowly-and see that it’s filled with antique jack-in-the-boxes. Huh? One box is hidden under the others, covered in dust. It plays an odd unpleasant song. Up pops a very ugly, mean-looking puppet, an old pirate with a dirty red bandana over his long greasy hair, scars on his cheeks, and a beard, and one eye missing. “Thanks for letting Sailor Jack out!” he rasps, bouncing on his spring. Devin and Violet have a troubling question: Now that their uncle has been turned into a toy, how will they get him back?

Tāwhaki: The Deeds of a Demigod recalls the miraculous life of Tāwhaki. Similar to Māui, Tāwhaki was a demigod who possessed mighty powers. Tāwhaki almost died at the hands of his brothers-in-law but was found by his wife Hine-piripiri and revived. This near-death experience revealed Tāwhaki's status as a demigod, and from this point Tāwhaki continued to use his powers and gifts to help those around him in ways no human could. This book explores many of these stories, including those of Tāwhaki restoring sight to his blind grandmother and climbing the heavens to find his wife and child.
