Description
A middle-grade debut that's a heartrending coming-of-age tale, perfect for fans of Bridge to Terabithia and Counting by 7s.
Eleven-year-old Riley believes in the whispers, magical fairies that will grant you wishes if you leave them tributes. Riley has a lot of wishes. He wishes bullies at school would stop picking on him. He wishes Dylan, his eighth-grade crush, liked him, and Riley wishes he would stop wetting the bed. But most of all, Riley wishes for his mom to come back home. She disappeared a few months ago, and Riley is determined to crack the case. He even meets with a detective, Frank, to go over his witness statement time and time again.
Frustrated with the lack of progress in the investigation, Riley decides to take matters into his own hands. So he goes on a camping trip with his friend Gary to find the whispers and ask them to bring his mom back home. But Riley doesn't realize the trip will shake the foundation of everything he believes in forever.
Commentaires
"A realistic tale of coming to terms and coming-of-age, of friendship and loss, with a touch of magic and humor." (Kirkus)
“This taut, moving tale delves beyond loss into issues of sexuality, conformity and self-acceptance…a masterful exploration into the power of storytelling but also its dangers, including self-denial and escapism.” (The New York Times Book Review)
“[Riley’s] a thoroughly sympathetic [narrator], and it’s easy to root for his eventual understanding of the truth - and of his own blamelessness.” (Horn Book Magazine)
“This touching, often wry novel offers a memorable psychological puzzle and explores grief and acceptance.” (Publishers Weekly)
