The Wrong Way Home

內容簡介

內容簡介 12歲的Fern一直相信自己過著貴族般的生活——但如果她一直以來被灌輸的全都是謊言呢？這是一個充滿溫度的故事，講述一位女孩如何學會質疑一切——並學會相信自己。Fern從六歲起就住在牧場——那是一個位於紐約州北部、離群索居、崇尚自給自足的社群，生活雖然辛苦，但她非常崇拜牧場的領袖Ben博士。因此當媽媽某天半夜偷偷帶她逃離，並聲稱Ben博士很危險時，芬恩根本不相信。她迫切地想回去，但媽媽卻只顧著一路開車遠離。突然被拋進這個險惡又有毒的外部世界，Fern腦中只有一個念頭——怎麼樣才能回家？她擬定了一個計畫，但執行需要時間。然而隨著時間過去，Fern發現自己開始對這地方的事物有所留戀——圖書館、學校的一位朋友、大海——她也開始察覺牧場教給她的一些觀念根本就是……錯的？Fern必須做出選擇，她願意為了回到牧場放棄多少？她該相信Ben博士為她描繪的人生藍圖？還是相信那股越來越強烈的直覺——或者她其實可以按照自己的方式活下去？Twelve-year-old Fern believes she's living a noble life--but what if everything she's been told is a lie? This is a huge-hearted story about a girl learning to question everything—and to trust in herself.Fern’s lived at the Ranch, an off-the-grid, sustainable community in upstate New York, since she was six. The work is hard, but Fern admires the Ranch's leader, Dr. Ben. So when Fern’s mother sneaks them away in the middle of the night and says Dr. Ben is dangerous, Fern doesn't believe it. She wants desperately to go back, but her mom just keeps driving.Suddenly thrust into the treacherous, toxic, outside world, Fern can think only of how to get home. She has a plan, but it will take time. As that time goes by, though, Fern realizes there are things she will miss from this place—the library, a friend from school, the ocean—and there are things she learned at the Ranch that are just...not true.Now Fern will have to decide. How much is she willing to give up to return to the Ranch? Should she trust Dr. Ben’s vision for her life? Or listen to the growing feeling that she can live by her own rules?

Nuance suffuses this story of discovery, as Fern’s blind faith grows tenuous." — Bulletin, starred review"Driven by a growing self-awareness that she can choose who and what she believes, this is a moving portrait of a girl undergoing drastic change." —Publishers Weekly"This coming-of-age story centers a girl trying to decide what is right as she struggles to change from one culture to another. The first-person narrative is believable and thought-provoking as Fern reconsiders everything she’s thought to be true." —School Library Journal"A cleverly written and supremely literary story, while also remaining pretty gripping in its telling.” —SLJ's Fuse 8"O’Shaughnessy presents a high stakes situation and zeroes in on a child narrator’s believable emotions. That tight focus on the narrator even when she is misguided or doesn’t have all the facts allows readers to draw their own conclusions." — The Horn Book Magazine“Kate O’Shaughnessy is an extraordinarily talented author whose gift is an innate understanding of the inner life of twelve-year-olds.”—Gennifer Choldenko, Newbery Honor Winner for Al Capone Does My Shirts“To leave behind a world that seems totally secure and safe and comfortable, for a world in which you make your own decisions and claim your own life—that is one of our great journeys. In The Wrong Way Home, Fern has to battle her own fear, elaborate illusions, misunderstandings, and the past mistakes of others to get on with that journey—and, dear reader, you will not be able to turn the pages fast enough to see if she makes it. Plan on reading this in one sitting; matters of the human soul don't bear interruption.”—Gary D. Schmidt, Newbery Honor Winner for The Wednesday Wars“Young readers will cheer for Fern as she finds the courage to confront the troubling doctrines she has been raised with and reinvent her ideas of home.”—Jacquetta Nammar Feldman, author ofWishing Upon the Same StarsandThe Puttermans Are in the House
