Sinopsis

In "Fighting for the Right," Oliver Optic presents a compelling tale of moral courage and personal sacrifice set against the backdrop of the American Civil War. The narrative follows a group of young heroes who navigate the turbulent waters of conflict, embodying the virtues of honor and bravery. Optic's literary style is characterized by its vivid descriptions and didactic elements, which serve to instill a sense of righteousness in the struggle for justice. This work, situated within the context of 19th-century American literature, reflects the burgeoning themes of patriotism and the quest for moral clarity amidst chaos, resonating with the era's youth literature that sought to inspire and inform the readers about pressing societal issues. Oliver Optic, the pen name of William Taylor Adams, was a prominent American author whose career spanned the late 19th century. His background in education and his deep involvement with youth-oriented narratives informed his writing ethos, particularly his desire to instill tenacity and ethical conviction in young minds. His extensive experience in teaching and his commitment to moral instruction deeply influenced the themes and character development in "Fighting for the Right," paralleling his view of literature as a vehicle for character building. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in historical fiction that merges adventure with moral philosophy. Optic's engaging narrative encourages reflection on the values of integrity and courage, making it a vital read for both young adults and anyone interested in the moral complexities of wartime America.

    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.
