She is alleged to have been one of the first realist writers in children's literature but also wrote capably about "estate management, politics and education, and corresponded with some of the leading literary and economic writers, including Sir Walter Scott and David Ricardo."

The Lifters

New York, Alfred A. Knopf, 2018. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 12mo 7" - 7. Sturdy, attractive, tightly bound hardcover, clean, if toned, minimal rubbing to extremities. Illustrated quite fancifully by Aaron Renier. Bound in blue cloth over boards, title blind-stamped to front board, silver lettering to spine. The review from commonsensemedia dot org say "When the struggling Flowerpetal family moves to the decaying town of Carousel in search of a better life, it sets 12-year-old son Granite (hoping to be known as Gran at his new school) on the path to a fateful meeting with THE LIFTERS, a secret society formed to help keep Carousel's streets and buildings from collapsing. Things have been steadily falling apart since the town's carousel company, once world-famous, shut down. Morale is low, the citizens squabble, and buildings suddenly fall down for no reason. Middle school is pretty grim also. But Gran begins to suspect that the strange, fierce girl in his class, the only one to befriend him (when she's not punching him in the stomach), knows more than most about what's going on -- and may be doing something about it. Also, magic seems to crop up in unexpected places." 341 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Near Fine
