DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is a beautiful new illustrated edition of James Otis's classic take of a boy who runs away to join the circus.This book is a classic among American boys and girls who dreamed of running away to join the circus and remained popular for generations. Disney honored it with a film version, Toby Tyler, starring Kevin Corcoran in 1960. It was James Otis Kaler's first book and also his best known and most successful.Toby Tyler tells the story of a ten year-old orphan who runs away from a foster home to join the traveling circus only to discover his new employer is a cruel taskmaster. The difference between the romance of the circus from the outside and the reality as seen from the inside is graphically depicted. Toby's friend, Mr. Stubbs the chimpanzee, reinforces the consequences of what happens when one follows one's natural instincts rather than one's intellect and conscience, a central theme of the novel.Toby Tyler is a "bad boy" novel, meant to teach a lesson what happens to boys who do bad things; other examples include George W. Peck's Peck's Bad Boy (1883), Thomas Bailey Aldrich's The Story of a Bad Boy (1870), and Mark Twain's Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1876). As with Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (1884), also about a conscience-stricken escaped and wandering orphan boy (written following the success of Toby Tyler), most readers don't remember Toby Tyler for its wholesome message, but as a romantic story of running away to the circus and adventures on the road.The book was influential with some famous "bad boys". A young Carl Sandburg thought Toby Tyler one of his favorite books (even better than Adventures of Huckleberry Finn). Harlan Ellison credits it as influencing his decision to run off with the circus. William S. Burroughs wrote of it in his journals.The original book contains 30 pen and ink drawings by W. A. Rogers (1854-1931). A sequel, Mr. Stubb's Brother, was published in 1883.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUp in the Alps, Cara's old life feels a million miles away. Nobody at Hope Hall knows her past. With secrets to keep, can Cara allow herself this chance to live again? New Year's Eve, San Francisco. The most promising party of the year ends in tragedy. Georgina is gone and nothing will bring her back. Nine months later, Cara's mother decides a Swiss boarding school will be the fresh start Cara needs. Up in the Alps, Cara's old life feels a million miles away. Nobody at Hope Hall knows her past - and she intends to keep it that way. Yet, as much as she keeps her distance, her new friends break down the walls she has so carefully built up - especially the offbeat, straight-talking Hector, who understands how she feels better than anyone. But the closer Cara grows to Hector, the more her old life slips away. Embracing life at Hope Hall means letting go of the past. With Georgina gone, how can Cara allow herself this second chance?

Watching Cara slowly allow her heart to thaw after being frozen in so much pain was truly beautiful.' - AKEMI DAWN BOWMAN, author of Starfish and Summer Bird Blue 'A poignant story of grief and guilt, hope and healing, set against the backdrop of a Swiss boarding school.
