Lauren Wolk Libri

Come Il buio oltre la siepe, a cui è stato paragonato da tutti i critici che l’hanno recensito, questo libro è la sintesi perfetta di avventura, suspense, impegno civile. Ambientato nel 1943, all’ombra delle due guerre, è il racconto di una ragazzina alle prese con situazioni difficili ma vitali: una nuova compagna di classe prepotente e violenta, un incidente gravissimo e un’accusa indegna contro un uomo innocente. Annabelle imparerà a mentire e a dire la verità, perché le decisioni giuste non sono mai facili e non possiamo controllare il nostro destino e quello delle persone che ci sono vicine, a prescindere da quanto ci impegniamo. Imparerà che il senso della giustizia, così vivo quando si è bambini, crescendo va difeso dalla paura, protetto dal dolore, coltivato in ogni gesto di umanità.Una scrittura nitida e coinvolgente dà voce a una delle protagoniste più forti della letteratura contemporanea e terrà incollati alle pagine sia i ragazzi che gli adulti. L’anno in cui imparai a raccontare storie è già un classico.

1933. When Ellie and her family lose everything, they flee to Echo Mountain to build a new life. Ellie runs wild, exploring the mountain's mysteries. But the one she can't solve is who's leaving the gifts for her: tiny, beautiful wooden carvings of animals and flowers, dotted around the mountain for her to find. Then Ellie's father has a terrible accident. Now he lies in a coma, while Ellie shoulders the blame for what happened. When she sets out to find a cure for him, she discovers Cate, the outcast witch, and Larkin, a wild mountain boy. From them she learns about being a healer, being brave - and about how there can be much more to a person than first meets the eye.
