一个关于友谊、成长、分享与勇气的故事!
现实生活中总是有那么多不尽如人意的事情,有的人选择勇敢面对,但是更多的人会不知所措,就像故事中的两个主人公--Mitch和Spencer。Mitch两岁的时候,爸爸丢下他跟妈妈离开了;十二岁的Mitch讨厌妈妈,也不喜欢祖父母,自我防卫意识很强,同时对于家庭的背叛一直耿耿于怀。的状态中慢慢长大。十岁的Spencer曾有一个哥哥Matty,却在几年前溺死在Bird
Lake中,这一直成为他心中不能逾越的痛苦与创伤。两个小男孩为了挥别过去而相遇,又因为选择勇敢面对过去而成为好朋友,因为只有放下过去才能放过自己,才能继续自己的人生!
Told in alternating voices, this is the story of two boys who
come to spend the summer at Bird Lake, each affected by something
he has tried to escape from. Mitch, twelve, begins his summer at
his grandparents’ house hating his father—who walked out on Mitch
and his mom just two-and-a-half weeks earlier—and feeling isolated
from his sullen mother and cold grandparents. Ten-year-old
Spencer’s family has decided to return to Bird Lake years after his
brother, Matty, drowned there. Mitch is defensive and fragile after
his family’s betrayal, and Spencer for the first time feels haunted
by Matty’s death as his family searches for some sort of closure.
As Booklist noted, “Henkes knows children and their secrets,” and
with Bird Lake Moon, the Newbery Honor author weaves a tale of
friendship, growing up, and the power of sharing—and hold
