Summary

In "Stories of the Gorilla Country, Narrated for Young People," Paul B. Du Chaillu presents a fascinating exploration of the gorilla's habitat and behavior, intricately woven with personal anecdotes from his travels to Africa. The book is characterized by its vivid descriptions and engaging narrative style, combining adventure writing with scientific observation. Du Chaillu's work stands as a significant contribution to both zoological literature and children's literature of the late 19th century, aiming to educate and enthrall young readers with the wonders of the natural world through the lens of the burgeoning field of anthropology. Paul B. Du Chaillu was a pioneering explorer and anthropologist whose passions were ignited by his early encounters with the natural world in Africa. His groundbreaking expeditions in the 1860s, especially his encounters with gorillas, enriched his understanding of wildlife and human cultures. Du Chaillu's dedication to making the complexities of biology accessible and entertaining for younger audiences illustrates his commitment to education and scientific curiosity. This book is highly recommended for readers who are eager to ignite a sense of wonder about the animal kingdom. "Stories of the Gorilla Country" serves not only as an adventure but also as an essential gateway for younger readers to explore themes of ecology, conservation, and the rich tapestry of life that shares our planet.

    From the author of The Outsiders: This novel about two brothers in a tough world “packs a punch that will leave readers of any age reeling” (School Library Journal).  An ALA Best Book for Young AdultsA School Library Journal Best Book of the Year   Rusty-James wants to be just like his big brother Motorcycle Boy—tough enough to be respected by everyone in the neighborhood. But Motorcycle Boy is also smart, so smart that Rusty-James relies on him to bail him out of trouble. The brothers are inseparable, and Motorcycle Boy will always be there to watch his back, so there's nothing to worry about, right? Or so Rusty-James believes, until his world falls apart and Motorcycle Boy isn't there to pick up the pieces.   An edgy, emotional portrait of a troubled kid trying to navigate the chaotic world around him, Rumble Fish was made into a film by Francis Ford Coppola and has become a modern classic praised by School Library Journal as “stylistically superb” and beloved by multiple generations of readers.   “Hinton knows how to plunge us right into [Rusty-James’s] dead-end mentality—his inability to verbalize much of anything, to come to grips with his anger about his alcoholic father and the mother who deserted him, even his distance from his own feelings.”—Kirkus Reviews
