Harry Potter è un ragazzo normale, o quantomeno è convinto di esserlo, anche se a volte provoca strani fenomeni, come farsi ricrescere i capelli inesorabilmente tagliati dai perfidi zii. Vive con loro al numero 4 di Privet Drive: una strada di periferia come tante, dove non succede mai nulla fuori dall'ordinario. Finché un giorno, poco prima del suo undicesimo compleanno, riceve una misteriosa lettera che gli rivela la sua vera natura: Harry è un mago e la Scuola di Magia e Stregoneria di Hogwarts è pronta ad accoglierlo...

Harry Potter e l'Ordine della Fenice

Questa incredibile avventura è cominciata un tranquillo lunedì di novembre. Ero nel mio ufficio, a Topazia, quando ricevetti l'invito per l'inaugurazione di una grande mostra. Era dedicata a Lucy, l'australopiteca più famosa della Preistoria! Che occasione stratopica! Ma ancora non immaginavo che, di lì a breve, mi sarei ritrovato catapultato nella savana africana del Pliocene, tra gli australopitechi. Lì avrei dovuto vedermela con predatori affamati, vulcani in eruzione e non solo... Infatti, a rendere ancora più difficile la vita non proprio semplice di quei tempi (l'unico modo per dormire tranquilli era starsene appollaiati sugli alberi!), ci ha pensato Sally Rasmaussen! La mia storica rivale mi ha raggiunto in quell'epoca lontana e ne ha combinata una delle sue... Per fortuna la mia amica Lucy era al mio fianco!

Twelve-year-old Elwood McGee never asked to have “ghost-sight,” and it involves a lot more drool-dodging than he expected. Ghosts are the WORST—and they're all over the place in this sharp-witted middle grade debut novel. Did you know that ghosts love coffee? They’re not trying to be scary. They’re just deprived of an appropriate amount of caffeine! They also bump into things by accident, are occasionally nosy, and get a little nervous when they’re seen by the living. Elwood McGee knows these ghost facts because he’s one of those rare people with the gift of ghost-sight. And it turns out ghosts are everywhere! Especially in the small Tennessee town where Elwood and his family had to move following the death of his big brother Noah, which Elwood thinks was his fault. Once Elwood figures out he can see ghosts, he becomes single-mindedly determined to use his powers to see Noah and talk to him one last time. With the help of two girls who live on his street, Elwood embarks on a journey through the surprisingly funny world of ghosts and faces the realities of letting go. At once hilarious and heart-wrenching, Adam Rosenbaum makes his middle grade debut with a supernaturalish novel about grief that’s perfect for fans of Gordon Korman and Dan Gutman.

Project Animal Rescue - Hope, Book 2 (Unabridged)

In "Brave and Bold," Horatio Alger Jr. presents a quintessential rags-to-riches narrative, emblematic of his prolific career in American literature during the late 19th century. The novel follows the journey of a determined young protagonist who, through hard work, resilience, and ethical integrity, rises from humble beginnings to achieve success. Alger employs a straightforward yet engaging style, infused with moral didacticism that reflects the optimistic spirit of the American Dream. His characters often face significant obstacles, yet they are persistent in their pursuit of personal betterment, a hallmark of the literary genre known as 'pulp fiction' that flourished during this era. Horatio Alger was an influential figure in the development of American youth literature, famously celebrated for instilling values of perseverance and virtue in his young readers. The son of a Unitarian minister, Alger's own experiences with poverty and resilience, particularly after a series of personal and professional setbacks, inspired his focus on themes of ambition and morality. Living through an era marked by the rapid expansion of American society, Alger sought to impart hope and motivation through his narratives, making them accessible and relatable to his audience. "Brave and Bold" is highly recommended for readers who seek an inspiring and entertaining tale that captures the spirit of its time while emphasizing eternal virtues. Alger's work remains relevant in contemporary discourse about social mobility and the challenges of self-improvement. This novel serves not only as a captivating story but also as a cultural artifact that provides insight into the ideals that shaped American society.

New York Times bestseller and Newbery Honor Book! A gorgeously written, hopeful middle grade novel in verse about a young girl who must leave Syria to move to the United States, perfect for fans of Jason Reynolds and Aisha Saeed. Jude never thought she’d be leaving her beloved older brother and father behind, all the way across the ocean in Syria. But when things in her hometown start becoming volatile, Jude and her mother are sent to live in Cincinnati with relatives. At first, everything in America seems too fast and too loud. The American movies that Jude has always loved haven’t quite prepared her for starting school in the US—and her new label of “Middle Eastern,” an identity she’s never known before. But this life also brings unexpected surprises—there are new friends, a whole new family, and a school musical that Jude might just try out for. Maybe America, too, is a place where Jude can be seen as she really is. This lyrical, life-affirming story is about losing and finding home and, most importantly, finding yourself.

From the author of Cog and Voyage of the Dogs, Weird Kid is a hilarious and heartfelt homage to everyone who feels like they don’t belong. Perfect for fans of Gordon Korman and Stuart Gibbs. Jake Wind is trying to stay under the radar. Whose radar? Anyone who might be too interested in the fact that he has shapeshifting abilities he can’t control. Or that his parents found him as a ball of goo when he was a baby. Keeping his powers in check is crucial, though, if he wants to live a normal life and go to middle school instead of being homeschooled (and if he wants to avoid being kidnapped and experimented on, of course). Things feel like they’re going his way when he survives his first day of school without transforming and makes a new friend. But when mysterious sinkholes start popping up around town—sinkholes filled with the same extraterrestrial substance as Jake—and his neighbors, classmates, and even his family start acting a little, well, weird, Jake will have to learn to use his powers in order to save his town. ""The short page count, humor, and action make this a good choice for reluctant readers. A solid purchase for school and public libraries."" —School Library Journal

In the classic novel "Eight Cousins," Louisa May Alcott weaves a rich tapestry exploring themes of family, identity, and the complexities of gender roles in 19th-century America. Through the eyes of the spirited Rose Campbell, Alcott delves into the dynamics of a lively household filled with her eight male cousins, each distinct in character yet bound by their shared heritage. The novel adopts a charming yet didactic narrative style, typical of Alcott's work, blending humorous anecdotes with poignant moral lessons, ultimately advocating for the empowerment of women within a patriarchal society. Louisa May Alcott, renowned for her groundbreaking novel "Little Women," was deeply influenced by her own experiences growing up in a progressive, literary family. Her life was characterized by a dedication to social reform, particularly in the realms of women's rights and education. "Eight Cousins" reflects Alcott's commitment to portraying strong female characters who navigate both societal expectations and self-discovery, drawing from her vivacious interactions with her own family and her desire to reshape the traditional narrative surrounding women. "Eight Cousins" is an essential read for those intrigued by the interplay of gender norms and familial bonds during the Victorian era. Alcott's ability to craft relatable characters and her insightful commentary on social issues make this novel a delightful yet thought-provoking experience that resonates even in contemporary discourse.
