Sinossi
Un ragazzo si risveglia su una spiaggia. Il luogo gli appare deserto e sconosciuto, e lui non sa come è arrivato fin lì. Di più: non sa chi è. Non ricorda nulla, né da dove viene, né il proprio nome. Quando vede una luce apparire all'orizzonte, al di là degli alberi che costeggiano la spiaggia, decide di seguirla: è sicuro che quella luce sia un segnale che gli indica la strada verso casa. Inizia così un viaggio in cui la lotta per la sopravvivenza si intreccia alla ricerca di se stesso. Un pericoloso viaggio che lo costringerà a guardare in faccia le sue più intime paure, e a compiere una scelta cruciale: per poter tornare a casa, da coloro che ama. Età di lettura: da 11 anni.

I don’t generally read children’s fiction – in this case, middle-school fiction. That’s not to say I haven’t any experience with it (my kiddos are teens.) I belong to a group of wonderful women that are participating in a book ‘voyage’. Each of us has selected a book (any genre) that will make its r Leggi tutto

Guys...THIS book! Oh my goodness! I don't even know where to start! I typically don't read a lot of MG fiction, but I thought the concept of this one was so intriguing and I just had to read it! I'm so glad I did! It was such a beautiful and thought-provoking story! I was immediately captivated by t Leggi tutto
This is book is so heartfelt, so immediate that readers can't help but get drawn into the tale of the boy who wakes up on a beach not knowing who he is or where he came from. Though we don't know his name - yet - we feel his pain and grief and anxiety as he tries to piece together his past and faces Leggi tutto
My God, this book, y’all. It wrecked me in the very best way. I can’t tell you exactly what it’s about without spoiling all the best parts (and trust me, there are many), but I can say this: I wish I had this book when I was a kid dealing with trouble understanding my father’s anger. I heartily reco Leggi tutto
Lucky me! I received an advance copy of THE BOY, THE BOAT, AND THE BEAST (pub. date June 2018). This is a story with hope, courage, and heart!!! An emotional literary mystery. Be ready to sit on the edge of your seat for this page-turner!
"But it's not about being scared. It's what you do when you're scared." Once upon a time there was a story that blew my mind, and that story was The Boy, the Boat, and the Beast. At a time when children are so vulnerable to others around them, this story is one that will stick with me and anyone who Leggi tutto
What a lovely, mysterious, unsettling tale. I'd compare the mood to a kind of bad dream- the sort you still enjoy- really pulls you in. The story deals with issues that kids will immediately relate to, which is no small feat- and the mystery of what is going on will keep them turning pages. Absolute Leggi tutto
This is a great book about a boy facing his fear and overcoming huge odds. He is the unlikely hero of his own story. The writing is lush and beautiful, yet approachable. This deals with such an important topic: how taxing a negative father/son relationship can be on a young child. Yet, in the end (w Leggi tutto
