Sinossi
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.

I am not what you might call a very brave reader. This is probably why I primarily consume children’s literature. I might puff myself up with a defense that lists the many fine aspects of this particular type of writing and believe it too, but sometimes when you catch me in a weak moment I might con Leggi tutto
I know one should never judge a book by it's cover, yet I saw the title and the cover and I knew I wanted to read this. I had no idea what it would be about. I thought it might be a fantasy story. It was so much more than I expected and so deep. This is set in the 40s during the war. Annabeth lives
I read this aloud to my almost 15yr old daughter and right up to last 2 chapters this was a 5 star read but ending was just so devastatingly sad, realistic yes, but we were both surprised for a young adult book to end in such a bleak way. This book contained it's fair share of realism, a realistic d Leggi tutto
WOLF HOLLOW is a masterfully written, moving story set in the shadow of World War II about a young girl named Annabelle who must stand strong when confronted by a manipulative tyrant. When Annabelle rebuffs the demands of the local bully, Betty Glengarry, she unintentionally shifts the attention of
It was good, but I was expecting more. It didn't grab my attention from the beginning and I was not that eager to continue my reading. On the other hand, some aspects were really touching and I liked Toby's character. I would recommend this book to middle grade readers without hesitation! 3.5 stars r Leggi tutto
“The year I turned twelve, I learned how to lie. I don’t mean the small fibs that children tell. I mean real lies fed by real fears – things I said and did that took me out of the life I’d always know and put me down hard into a new one.” When I read these opening lines from Wolf Ho
