The Whispers
Autor Greg Howarden Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 ian 2020
Before she disappeared, Riley's mama used to tell him stories about the Whispers, mysterious creatures with the power to grant wishes.
Riley wishes for lots of things. He wishes his secret crush Dylan liked him back. He wishes the bumbling detective would stop asking awkward questions. But most of all he wishes his mother would come home . . .
Four months later, the police are no closer to finding out the truth - and Riley decides to take matters into his own hands.
But do the Whispers really exist?
And what is Riley willing to do to find out?

Notă biografică
Greg
Howard
grew
up
near
the
coast
of
South
Carolina.
His
hometown
of
Georgetown,
South
Carolina
is
known
as
the
"Ghost
Capital
of
the
South"
and
was
always
a
great
source
of
material
for
his
overactive
imagination.
Raised
in
a
staunchly
religious
home,
Greg
escaped
into
the
arts:
singing,
playing
piano,
acting,
writing
songs,
and
making
up
stories.
These
days,
Greg
resides
in
Nashville,
TN
with
his
husband,
Steve,
and
their
three
rescued
fur
babies.
Molly,
Toby,
and
Riley.
Recenzii
A
heartbreaking,
beguiling
debut
.
.
.
This
poignant
journey
through
the
badlands
of
grief
is
crammed
with
tenderness,
wit
and
warmth.
Howard pulls off the trick of making Riley's real quest even more heart-wrenching than the fantasy that drives it. This taut, moving tale delves beyond loss into issues of sexuality, conformity and self-acceptance . . . "The Whispers" is a masterful exploration into the power of storytelling but also its dangers, including self-denial and escapism.
Howard triumphs in the delicate treatment of complex themes - trauma, religion and sexuality, to name a modest few - rendering The Whispers a suitable tale for readers of R. J. Palacio's thoughtful bestseller,Wonder.
