A propos de cet article

The Middle Moffat — Eleanor Estes, Author-Signed 1942 Hardcover A charming, author-signed early hardcover of The Middle Moffat by Newbery Medal–winning writer Eleanor Estes , illustrated by Louis Slobodkin . This beloved children’s novel is the second book in the Moffats series and follows Jane Moffat, the “middle” child in a lively New England family during the World War I era. Balancing humor, gentle drama, and everyday adventure, Estes captures the feelings of a girl who is neither oldest nor youngest and is determined to make her place in the world by reinventing herself as the mysterious “Middle Moffat.” The story unfolds in the fictional town of Cranbury, Connecticut, where Jane sets herself a series of self-appointed missions: befriending and secretly protecting the town’s oldest man so he will reach his hundredth birthday, helping her school’s girls’ basketball team, navigating friendships and rivalries, and taking on various challenges that test her courage and imagination. The episodes are linked by Estes’s warm, observant prose and Slobodkin’s expressive line drawings, which bring to life family scenes, neighborhood streets, and Jane’s many schemes. Recognized as a Newbery Honor Book , the novel has become a classic of mid-20th-century American children’s literature for its sensitive portrayal of family life and its celebration of a thoughtful, quietly brave heroine.
