Sarah Guillory: A Wish with Wings, Gebunden

Klappentext

A tender tale of courage, hope, and holding onto yourself even when everything around you seems to be falling apart -perfect for fans of Katherine Applegate and Barbara O'Connor. Everyone says twelve-year-old Evan Calais is feral. She likes to spend her time outside, fishing and having mud fights in her small town of Little John Island, Louisiana. But when a sinkhole causes the town mine to collapse, trapping all forty-eight miners, everything in her life comes to a standstill. Because Evan's dad is one of the miners trapped inside.

Evan seeks solace the only way she knows how-in the outdoors-and comes upon the most peculiar thing.An egg.

It's a large egg. And it's alone. So while Evan waits for her dad to come home, she also finds herself caring for the strange, abandoned egg. If this egg can hatch...maybe her dad has a chance of coming home, too. But as she incubates the egg, Evan will need to make a big decision. For she has a secret-she might know what caused the cave-in.

Sarah Guillory's latest middle grade novel is a deeply heartwarming exploration of the importance of imagination, the freedom in nature, and the power of the truth.
