Nobody' Child by Elizabeth Dejeans

 Elizabeth Dejeans has a way with phrases and builds multiple intriguing characters. The story takes place in the very early 1900's on a Southern ridge where two old and proud families (the Pennimans and the Westmores) live on neighboring properties divided by a history of hatred and woods and mine banks. Ann is a youth of the poorer Pennimans. She falls in love with the only person who ever seemed to care about her... Garvin Westmore. Yet there are twists and turns in the storyline so that you are surprised to find this is no Romeo and Juliet tale. When the heads of each family return home after years away (Ann's estranged father to his family, Garvin's much older brother to his family), Ann still feels like an unloved misfit in her own home. She has been secretly meeting Garvin and now becomes a secret close friend of his older brother. She has a very close friend in an older deformed woodsman, Bear Brokaw, who would do anything to protect her. Bear is loyal and protective of both families, and seems to be the only one who knows all that lies behind the mysteries that spark and flash throughout the book. The main character who is rather suspicious is Nickolas Baird. The author seemed focused on him, but the ending explained why and ccatches the reader by surprise. 

The Moon Maid by Edgar Rice Burroughs

The Moon Maid is a fantasy novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, belonging to the Lost World sub-genre. It was written in three parts, Part 1 was begun in June 1922 under the title The Moon Maid, Part 2 was begun in 1919 under the title Under the Red Flag, later retitled The Moon Men, Part 3 was titled The Red Hawk. As evident from its name, Under the Red Flag was originally set in contemporary Soviet Russia, with the Bolsheviks as villains; as this was not popular with the publishers, Burroughs transferred it to a science-fictional setting, with the evil Communist-like "Kalkars" taking over the Moon (in the first part) and then the Earth (in the second part, with the help of a renegade Earthman) and being finally overthrown in the third part. (Also the Thorists, villains of Pirates of Venus, are clearly modeled on the Russian Communists.)
The book version was first published by A. C. McClurg on February 6, 1926, under the title The Moon Maid, though it was shortened from the serial. The three Parts have been published in varying combinations and under varying titles since 1926.

A Woman of the Ice Age by L. P. Gratacap

A Woman of the Ice Age is a romantic tale of adventure by L. P. Gratacao.
It is with the story of Love, told of these strange and remote periods of Time, that we are now concerned, and we place the Woman of the Ice Age far in the West, somewhere not exposed to the extreme arctic vicissitudes of a glacial imprisonment, although not quite beyond the rumors and tokens of its partial survival, nor quite within the lassitudes of a southern and perennial summer, but at a possible point of such picturesque contrasts, of such organic fascination, of such compromises in physical expression, that we may discern in her the elements of poetry...

Beyond the City by Arthur Conan Doyle

A blithe, airy, domestic romance -- completely unlike the adventures of Sherlock Holmes -- about the residents of three new, adjoining, suburban villas: A retired admiral and his wife and stockbroker son; a widowed doctor and his two pretty daughters; and a militant feminist and her stolid nephew. The lives of young and old neighbors intertwine in sometimes surprising ways.

Just David by Eleanor Hodgman Porter

Eleanor Porter wrote this wonderful novel two years after the runaway success of her book Pollyanna. Though also a bestseller at the time, Just David has rarely been reprinted since its release in 1916. We felt a story this good shouldn’t be so hard to find, so we decided to put it back in print last year. Now it’s in a longer-lasting hardcover.

It is the story of David, a charming little boy of 10 who is suddenly transplanted from a world of music (he plays the violin) in the mountains with his father, to the provincialism of a workaday small town. But even more, it is the story of how David transplants his own character, courage and happiness into the lives of the people he meets, and wins their love and respect. Here’s what we say in the preface to the new edition:

Just David is a quiet, unassuming children’s novel about an orphaned young boy with a mysterious past. David, not the typical boy found in most stories of his day, is a mixture of simplicity and complexity whose disarming innocence has a profound effect on the people he encounters. Unlike the “good bad boy” often encountered in children’s literature, David is a “good good” boy. He is not in any way “goody-goody” in the moralistic sense, but simply and purely good. David’s goodness is not a mysterious quality that defies logic and imagination, but rather a quality cultivated in him by the intentional efforts of a wise and loving father. During David’s formative years, his father secluded him from the influences of the outside world, creating a private world in the mountains filled with simple pleasures, purposeful study, and beautiful music. David’s touching story is well within the scope of the imagination, and David’s endearing innocence, engaging personality, and natural character are unforgettable.

Just David struck a resonant chord in our family for several reasons. First, David’s life affirms the biblical principle expressed in the proverb, “He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm”. David walked with his father and became wise. Also, his story reminds us of the importance of creating the right “appetite” early in our children’s lives. David’s love of music, nature and beauty were intentionally cultivated in him by his father. Finally, there is a refreshing balance in David’s life and character that provides a literary model to emulate, especially for the more artistically-inclined boy often overlooked in literature. David is artistic, yet he knows when to be realistic. He is slight of stature, yet able to handily defend himself when necessary. He is trained and mannerly, yet he is also manly. He is sensitive, yet sensible. Whatever limitations he discovers, he meets them with strength of character.

This is truly one of those books that everyone in your family will like, and will likely want to hear or read more than once. We’re on our fourth reading! It has even inspired us to have Just David days for our children when we focus on the beautiful and lovely things God has given us to enjoy. Just David is just great.

Bomba the Jungle Boy by Roy Rockwood

Bomba is a young man about 13 or 14 years old. He can not remember his parents, so something must have happened to him or his parents. He simply can not remember. Raised by a man named Cody Casson in the Amazon rain forest, Bomba the Jungle boys wants dearly to find out who his parents were, and where they are.
One day, while roaming the Amazon jungle, Bomba meets the explorers Dorn and Gillis and in doing so, saves their entire camp from a savage jaguar attack. Promising to return one day, they leave gifts (including a pistol) and then head for the coast while Bomba soon runs into a party of dreaded headhunters from the distant Giant Cataract. After escaping their clutches initially, the jungle boy secures the friendship of a local tribe,the Araos, before racing back to Cody, to defend all he holds dear.
Combating snakes, a cayman, vultures, pumas and vampire bats, Bomba returns to the hut he shares with the old naturalist, Cody Casson and by trickery, courage and the stout friendship of his local animal friends, they defeat the marauders.
Cody, who experiences moments of lucidity, recalls the names "Laura" and "Bartow" and adds that Jojasta, the Medicine Man of the distant Moving Mountain, can shed some light on Bomba's parentage. It is to this terrible land that Bomba will go to next, in his quest for knowledge of his past and origins!

Miss Lulu Bett by Zona Gale

Written by Wisconsin native Zona Gale and published in 1920, it reminded me somewhat of Sinclair Lewis's Main Street, though not of such epic size. It also reminded me of Ernest Poole's His Family, which won the first ever Pulitzer Prize for literature in 1918. Gale would re-write Miss Lulu Bett for the stage where she would be the first ever woman writer to earn the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1921.
Lulu Bett is a 34 year old dowdy spinster who has for the past 15 years lived with her younger sister Ina, who is married to an older widower Dwight who brings a daughter from the previous marriage. The Deacons now have an 8-10 year old daughter of their own, and Diana from the first marriage is now 18. Ina and Lulu have Mrs Bett, their mother, living with them. Lulu has been the housekeeper and cook for the family, and we find out she fills an even more important role. She has not left the small town of Warbleton in years, and she lives an empty existence. To make things worse, Dwight runs the house like a drill sergeant, and is unforgiving and cruel in the way he treats the woman, especially Lulu. Yet she is the glue that holds the family together, as they need it very much.

Child of Storm by H. Rider Haggard

An unusual story of the Zulus in all their superstitious madness and blood-staind grandeur; of the time of the Impis and the witch-finders and the rival princes of the Royal House. The story of the fascinating and wicked Mameena is here told by Allan Quatermain. The Impis were the Imperial Zulu warriors. A fascinating look into the inside of a little-known empire.
