Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. This is a book aimed mainly at children and teens, but as I had bought it I read it anyway. There is no plot, so it won't appeal to anyone who likes constant action. It's more of an exploration of the beauty in nature, the small details that we may miss when we think we have years and years to notice them. The narrator of the story knows her life may well be short as she has a serious heart complaint, and it's good to have an opportunity to see things through her eyes. One I'm looking forward to my children reading. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

It was after I ate King that everything started to go wrong in our entire family, as if someone had put an evil spell onto us, a hex - like a bad fairy godmother had said at my birth, when you are eleven you are going to be struck by a sorrow so big it will be like a lightning bolt. There will be grief like a sharp rock in your throat. Twelve-year-old Gussie was born with a rare, life-threatening heart disease, but it hasn't hampered her curiosity. When she reads about the Burying Beetle, which has the unusual habit of burying dead birds, mice, and other small animals by digging away the earth beneath them, it becomes her mission to find one. As she searches the Cornish coast for the elusive insect, Gussie learns be like the Burying Beetle, to bury things past and to live. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
