Maggiori informazioni sul libro
What if the woods were full of everything you feared? The brochure promised a "moderate-to-difficult" six-mile hike on the Maine-New Hampshire branch of the Appalachian Trail, where nine-year-old Trisha McFarland would spend Saturday with her older brother, Pete, and their recently divorced mother. When Trisha wanders off to escape their bickering and attempts a shortcut through the woods, she strays deeper into a perilous wilderness. As night falls, she relies on her wits for navigation, her ingenuity to fend off the elements, and her courage to face mounting fear. For comfort, she tunes her Walkman to Boston Red Sox games and the gritty performances of her hero, relief pitcher Tom Gordon. As the radio reception fades, Trisha imagines Tom Gordon is with her, serving as her lifeline against an unseen enemy marked by slaughtered animals and mangled trees. This classic tale engages our primal emotions, exploring deep dread of the unknown and the power of faith to overcome it. It is a darker fairy tale, illuminated by a girl's indomitable spirit.
