Overview / 简介: |
Flightsend is Charlie's new home, whether she likes it or not. Her mother sees it as an end to all that’s gone so tragically wrong. They had been a proper family. Mum; her boyfriend, Sean; and Charlie, with a new baby sister on the way. But the baby died before she was born and everything changed. Gradually, Charlie’s mother pushed Sean away, before resigning from her job and selling the house.
Charlie is certain that the move to a ramshackle cottage, miles from anywhere, can only make things worse. She couldn’t be more wrong. For Charlie’s mum there’s a new business and the fresh start that she knew she needed. And for Charlie there’s a new job, new friends, a newly discovered talent for art, and new feelings for two very different men. It’s a summer of beginnings, not ends; a summer that Charlie will never forget.

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Charlie’s mum has quit her job and moved them to a small cottage in the countryside. Though Charlie is not happy, she knows that a fresh start is in order after the breakup of their family. So she spends her time exploring their village, getting ready for sixth form year, and plotting to get her mother and step-dad (a teacher from Charlie’s school) back together. A job at a local bed-and-breakfast allows Charlie to explore her talent for art when another teacher from her school takes a job teaching classes there. Newbery creates a fine sense of place and introduces a likable character in Charlie. However, the last 40 pages wrap up quite unexpectedly, leaving readers wondering if they missed something. Charlie’s art teacher suddenly develops an unhealthy attraction to her, while, at the same time, Charlie develops feelings for her ex-stepfather. Fans of British chick-lit might enjoy the book, but will likely wish there was a more satisfying ending. Grades 7-10. |
