Sinopse

In "The Surprising Adventures of Sir Toady Lion with Those of General Napoleon Smith," S. R. Crockett weaves a richly imaginative narrative that blends elements of fantasy and adventure with a playful sense of humor. Set against the backdrop of whimsical landscapes and engaging encounters, the tale unfolds through a series of delightful escapades involving Sir Toady Lion, a valiant yet comically flawed hero, alongside the eccentric General Napoleon Smith. Crockett's writing is characterized by a distinctive whimsical style, employing vivid imagery and clever dialogue that invites readers into a world filled with eccentric characters and unexpected twists, aligning this work with the literary tradition of Victorian adventure narratives, yet infused with a contemporary sensibility of satire and social commentary. S. R. Crockett, a Scottish author, emerged in the late 19th century, often channeling his experiences as a journalist and a keen observer of Scottish culture and folklore into his literary works. His rich background in literature and storytelling reflects his penchant for captivating tales that enchant both children and adults. Writing during a time when the Victorian novel was thriving, Crockett crafted stories that resonated with the themes of heroism, friendship, and moral dilemmas, drawing inspiration from his love of Scottish landscapes and folklore, which imbues his characters with a sense of authenticity and relatability. I highly recommend "The Surprising Adventures of Sir Toady Lion with Those of General Napoleon Smith" for readers seeking a delightful escape into a world of imagination and absurdity. Crockett'Äôs narrative not only entertains through its whimsical characters and absurd plot twists but also encourages reflection on the nature of heroism and camaraderie. This novel is a perfect choice for anyone looking to explore the rich tapestry of adventure literature, appealing to both young readers and adults who appreciate a well-spun tale.

    The Mighty Odds is first in a funny illustrated series about a diverse crew of middle school kids who develop very limited superhero powers after a strange accident and manage to become unlikely friends on the adventure of a lifetime. From the renowned author/illustrator of the Popularity Papers series, Amy Ignatow. 
     
    What do you get when you mix a sci-fi nerd, a cartoonist, a social outcast, and the most popular girl in school with a mysterious bus crash? Some very specific—and mighty odd—superpowers. 
     
    Martina can change her eye color; Nick can teleport four inches to the left; Farshad can develop super strength, but only in his thumbs; and Cookie can read minds, when those minds are thinking about directions. 
     
    Starring a diverse group of kids, this series’ multiple narrators make for a quirky, contemporary read that tackles identity and stereotypes. Praised widely, Ignatow’s characters have been called “very real” by the New York Times and “completely convincing” by The New Yorker.
