Beschreibung

In "Our Little Hawaiian Cousin," Mary Hazelton Blanchard Wade crafts an enchanting narrative that immerses readers in the rich cultural tapestry of Hawaii through the eyes of a young native child. The book serves as both a captivating children's story and an educational resource, employing vivid descriptions and a gentle, engaging prose style that appeals to young readers' imagination. This work is situated within the broader genre of children's literature in the early 20th century, often characterized by its didactic nature and focus on diverse cultures, reflecting the American interest in the islands following their annexation in 1898. Mary Hazelton Blanchard Wade (1852-1916) was a prominent author and educator dedicated to creating literature that enlightened and inspired children. Her experiences traveling and teaching, coupled with her deep appreciation for cultural diversity, likely influenced her desire to present Hawaii's unique heritage in a manner accessible to children. Wade's commitment to fostering understanding among different cultures shines through her storytelling, making this work an essential part of her literary legacy. I highly recommend "Our Little Hawaiian Cousin" to readers who wish to explore a beautiful and authentic representation of Hawaiian life. The rich narrative not only entertains but also educates young minds about the importance of cultural understanding and appreciation, making it an invaluable addition to any child's library.

    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.
