The Great Unexpected

內容簡介

內容簡介 From Newbery Medal winner and bestselling author Sharon Creech comes a grand, sweeping yarn that is a celebration of the great and unexpected gifts of love, friendship, and forgiveness. With a starred review from Kirkus Reviews calling it an "enchanting tale to treasure," The Great Unexpected captures the heart and the imagination. Humorous and heartfelt, this is a story of pairs--of young Naomi and Lizzie, both orphans in present-day Blackbird Tree, USA, and of Sybil and Nula, grown-up sisters from faraway Rook's Orchard, Ireland, who have become estranged. Young Naomi Deane is brimming with curiosity and her best friend, Lizzie Scatterding, could talk the ears off a cornfield. Naomi has a knack for being around when trouble happens. She knows all the peculiar people in town--like Crazy Cora and Witch Wiggins. But then, one day, a boy drops out of a tree. Just like that. A strangely charming Finn boy. And then the Dingle Dangle man appears, asking all kinds of questions. Curious surprises are revealed--three locked trunks, a pair of rooks, a crooked bridge, and that boy--and soon Naomi and Lizzie find their lives changed forever. As two worlds are woven together, Creech reveals that hearts can be mended and that there is indeed a gossamer thread that connects us all. What connects two orphans in America to a long-lost secret in Ireland? Two Worlds Collide: Follow two pairs of girls an ocean apart--best friends Naomi and Lizzie in America, and estranged sisters Sybil and Nula in Ireland--whose lives are unknowingly intertwined. A Touch of Magic: When a mysterious boy named Finn literally falls out of a tree, it's the first of many curious surprises, from a crooked bridge to a pair of mysterious rooks. Found Family: A heartfelt tale about two orphans, Naomi and Lizzie, who discover that family is found in the most unexpected places. An Unexpected Inheritance: Three locked trunks hold the key to the past, leading to a life-changing discovery that will mend broken hearts and connect both worlds forever.
