Ce zice magazinul despre el
Thirteen-year-old Rachel Sheridan is left an orphan after influenza takes the lives of her missionary parents in British East Africa in 1919. National Book Award-winning author Whelan crafts a wickedly delicious story of treachery and triumph, in which one young woman must claim her true identity in order to forge her own future and transform herself from victim to heroine. n nA critically acclaimed historical novel that roars (Kliatt), from the author of the National Book Award-winning novel Homeless Bird. n nAfrica is the only home Rachel Sheridan has ever known. But when her missionary parents are struck with influenza, she is left vulnerable to her family's malicious neighbors. Surrounded by greed and lies, Rachel is entangled in a criminal scheme and sent to England, where she's forced into a life of deception.n nLike the lion, she must be patient and strong, awaiting the moment when she can take control of her own fate--and find her way home again at last. n nNamed one of New York Public Library's One Hundred Titles for Reading and Sharing, this tale of a strong young heroine in the tradition of Frances Hodgson Burnett (School Library Journal), by award-winning master of historical fiction Gloria Whelan, is a perfect read for schools and classrooms, as well as for fans of A Long Walk to Water by Linda Sue Park. n
