Synopsis

In "On Time; or, Bound to Get There," Oliver Optic deftly combines adventure and moral instruction, inviting readers into a narrative richly layered with themes of responsibility, perseverance, and the importance of punctuality. Characterized by Optic's hallmark clear prose and engaging storytelling, this book reflects the Victorian era's fascination with transportation and progress. Through the lens of young protagonists embarking on a quest, the narrative not only highlights the socio-cultural significance of timekeeping in the industrial age but also serves as a reflection on the broader human experience of striving to meet life's commitments amidst unforeseen challenges. Oliver Optic, the pen name of William Taylor Adams, was an influential American author and educator known for his prolific contributions to children'Äôs literature. His own experiences as a teacher inspired him to write engaging stories that impart moral lessons while capturing the imagination of young readers. The context of a rapidly industrializing America, where the notion of time was becoming increasingly critical, profoundly shaped his narratives, making him a pivotal figure in the genre of didactic literature. "On Time; or, Bound to Get There" is highly recommended for readers who appreciate stories rich in adventure that also impart valuable life lessons. It is a must-read for those interested in understanding how literature can shape young minds and convey socio-cultural values in an accessible manner.

When Petey Corbin is born in 1920, no one knows about cerebral palsy. After struggling to care for her frail infant who is often racked by seizures, Petey's mother reluctantly places him in an asylum. There, he is labeled an idiot and ignored. Few people look beyond his twisted body to see the intelligence in his eyes. Then another young resident, Calvin Anders, arrives in Petey's ward. As he learns to understand Petey's garbled sounds, Calvin becomes his spokesman and best friend. Years later, however, they are separated when Petey is moved to a nursing home. Alone and withdrawn, Petey wonders if he will ever find another person who understands him. Ben Mikaelsen, award-winning author of Rescue Josh McGuire, Stranded, and other popular books for young adults, has crafted a poignant tale of friendship and triumph over disabilities. Petey was chosen by the New York Public Library as one of its 100 Books for Reading and Sharing, and it won the Western Writers of America Award.
