Book Description
In 'Devon Boys: A Tale of the North Shore,' George Manville Fenn expertly weaves a tale of adventure and coming-of-age on the rugged north shore of Devon. Written in a descriptive and engaging style, the book transports readers to a time when friendships were tested and moral choices had to be made in the face of danger. Fenn's attention to detail in depicting the setting and characters adds depth and richness to the narrative, making it a captivating read for fans of historical fiction and adventure literature. The book's exploration of themes such as loyalty, courage, and personal growth make it a timeless classic in the vein of other 19th-century adventure stories. George Manville Fenn, known for his prolific output of juvenile fiction, draws on his own experiences and observations of life to craft a story that resonates with readers of all ages. His ability to create believable characters and fast-paced plots showcases his talent as a skilled storyteller. I recommend 'Devon Boys' to anyone who enjoys a thrilling adventure story with strong moral undertones and vivid descriptions of the natural world.

Pages : 0
Book Description
PBS's The Great American Read named it one of America's best-loved novels. A Separate Peace has been a bestseller in the United States for nearly thirty years, and it is ageless in its depiction of youth during a time when the entire country was losing its innocence to World War II. A Separate Peace is a horrific and brilliant fable about the dark side of adolescence set at a boys' boarding school in New England during the early years of World War II. Gene is an introverted, lonely intellectual. Phineas is a reckless athlete who is attractive and taunts others. Like the war itself, what happens between the two friends one summer robs these guys and their world of their innocence.

The Cemetery Boys
Author: Heather Brewer
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 0062307908
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
Part Hitchcock, part Hinton, this first-ever stand-alone novel from Heather Brewer, New York Times bestselling author of the acclaimed Chronicles of Vladimir Tod series, uses classic horror elements to tell a darkly funny coming-of-age story about the dangerous power of belief and the cost of blind loyalty that Kirkus Reviews called “a slick, spooky, chilling mystery.” When Stephen's dad says they're moving, Stephen knows it's pointless to argue. They're broke from paying Mom's hospital bills, and now the only option left is to live with Stephen's grandmother in Spencer, a backward small town that's like something out of The Twilight Zone. Population: 814. Stephen's summer starts looking up when he meets punk girl Cara and her charismatic twin brother, Devon. With Cara, he feels safe and understood—and yeah, okay, she's totally hot. In Devon and his group, he sees a chance at making real friends. Only, as the summer presses on, and harmless nights hanging out in the cemetery take a darker turn, Stephen starts to suspect that Devon is less a friend than a leader. And he might be leading them to a very sinister end. . . .
