Sinopse

In "The Crimson Flash," Roy J. Snell weaves a compelling narrative that explores themes of adventure, morality, and the complexities of human nature. Set against a backdrop of early 20th-century America, the story follows the enigmatic figure of the Crimson Flash, a masked hero who navigates the fine line between justice and vigilantism. Snell's prose is marked by its vivid imagery and fast-paced dialogue, evoking the serials of his time while also reflecting the moral uncertainties present in society. The novel belongs to the genre of early crime fiction, embodying elements of pulp literature that interrogate the allure of heroism and the shadows it casts over the criminal world. Roy J. Snell, active predominantly in the 1920s and 1930s, was a prolific writer whose works often mirrored the cultural tensions of post-war America. Having gained experience as a newspaper journalist, Snell possessed an acute understanding of both public sentiment and the intricacies of crime. This background likely motivated him to craft narratives that spoke to the American psyche, eliciting excitement while addressing ethical dilemmas faced by individuals. His interest in adventure tales and complex characters often results in layered storytelling that invites reflection. For readers who enjoy tales steeped in action, moral ambiguity, and richly drawn characters, "The Crimson Flash" is a must-read. Snell's unique perspective and stylistic flair offer not only an engaging adventure but also a deeper commentary on the nature of heroism and societal justice. This work is an essential addition to the library of any enthusiast of early 20th-century literature and crime fiction.

    Julius Greenfield is the new kid at school. Not only did his family move to a new state over the summer, but they enrolled him in public school. You see, Montessori school was all he ever knew so starting at a big public school was scary. 
    Problems begin for Julius when Jamie Winston, the school bully, picks on Julius for being a small fifth grader. Every day at school there is something new, from name-calling to physical attacks. 
    To make matters worse, Julius and Jamie are on the same team to perform in the school talent show. Can they learn to accept their differences to win the talent competition, or will their dislike for one another ruin their fifth-grade experience and get them into big trouble?

    A school walkathon! A visit from Popo! Six-year-old Ava’s week has SUPER potential—with just a few snags along the way—in this spot-on third adventure in Vicky Fang’s warm, funny chapter book series. 
      
    Ava Lin is in first grade, and she’s really good at dancing, making up games, and finding treasure. This week she’s super-duper excited, because it’s going to be the BEST WEEK EVER. First, her popo—Chinese for grandmother—is coming to visit, and Ava can’t wait to show off the special acorn, button, Post-it note, hair clip, and inside part of a marker that she found on the school playground. And second, this Sunday is the school walkathon. If Ava and her best friend, Kushi, manage to walk twenty-five laps, they will each earn a gold medal! But the week doesn’t go exactly to plan—like when Popo mistakes Ava’s treasures for trash, or when Ava discovers that fundraising for a walkathon is not quite as easy as she had hoped. Is there a way to make this week a super-duper happy one regardless?
