Rendition Conducive To Books The Great Unexpected

From Newbery Medal winner and bestselling author Sharon Creech comes a grand, sweeping yarn that is a celebration of the great and unexpected gifts of love, friendship, and forgiveness. With a starred review from Kirkus Reviews calling it an "enchanting tale to treasure," The Great Unexpected captures the heart and the imagination. Humorous and heartfelt, this is a story of pairs—of young Naomi and Lizzie, both orphans in present-day Blackbird Tree, USA, and of Sybil and Nula, grown-up sisters from faraway Rook's Orchard, Ireland, who have become estranged. Young Naomi Deane is brimming with curiosity and her best friend, Lizzie Scatterding, could talk the ears off a cornfield. Naomi has a knack for being around when trouble happens. She knows all the peculiar people in town—like Crazy Cora and Witch Wiggins. But then, one day, a boy drops out of a tree. Just like that. A strangely charming Finn boy. And then the Dingle Dangle man appears, asking all kinds of questions. Curious surprises are revealed—three locked trunks, a pair of rooks, a crooked bridge, and that boy—and soon Naomi and Lizzie find their lives changed forever. As two worlds are woven together, Creech reveals that hearts can be mended and that there is indeed a gossamer thread that connects us all.

3.5 starsThis is a lovely book. I really rather enjoyed it. However, I really think my daughters missed out on some of the nuances of the story and how the characters intertwined because they didn't pay close enough attention to my reading every night. This is definitely a book that leaves subtle hints throughout and you need to pay attention. Creech does another fine job in writing a beautiful middle grade novel.

I want more books like this one. A book that is beautifully written, has quirky characters, humor, mystery/adventure, makes you care what happens, and even has sad parts. Sharon Creech has done it again. If the Newbery committee overlooks this book I might cry. Can't wait to share this book with kids this fall.

Originally posted on my blog Guiltless Reading Open yourself up to the unexpected ... open yourself up to possibilities. The book in one sentence: An orphaned girl's luck changes on the day that a boy falls out of a tree.My two cents: It's been awhile since I've sunk my teeth into a good children's book ... and this was such a treat to read! Recommended for children aged 8-12 / grades 3-7, I could totally see a young adult reader liking this just as much. While I have also heard so many raves

The town of Blackbird Tree has more than its fair share of orphans and old people. Naomi lives with Nula and Joe, her mother having passed away shortly after her birth, and her father dying of an infection after a dog attack that also disfigured Naomi's arm. Her friend Lizzie lives with a couple she hopes will adopt her. The two makes friends with Finn, an unusual boy who also has a mysterious past. While the children in Blackbird Tree are hanging out, helping the strange and elderly (Crazy

As gorgeous as this book was, I felt let down. Sharon Creech is one of my favorite childhood authors and Ive been wanting to read this book forever, since it came out to be precise. I remember the excitement I felt when I found out Sharon Creech had a new book out. I added it to my Goodreads, to-read list but like the case with a lot of other books that I placed on the list, it found its way to a place on the list that I dont often check.When I finally got my hands on the book, I was excited to

When I was in the sixth grade my teacher recommended that I read Walk Two Moons and it changed my life. It was one of those books that tore through my soul and combusted the world into a brand new place. As a 12-year old, I think it finally helped me to start seeing "the bigger picture." I loved everything about that book and read it several more times through junior high and high school. Naturally, I decided that I had to read everything else by Sharon Creech and I fell in love with her

This is a delightful book that I read in one sitting. Sharon Creech has done it again with this beautifully written and lyrical story. It is warm, witty, full of memorable and eccentric characters, secrets and coincidences, hidden meaning and life lessons for our children. As you begin to put the pieces of the puzzle of the story together it will remind you that we are all connected by that invisible thread and the actions of one many times affect the lives of others.Naomi Deane and Lizzie
