Worlds collide in a spectacular way when Newbery and National Book Award finalist Kathi Appelt and Pulitzer Prize nominee and #1 New York Times bestseller Alison McGhee team up to create a fantastical, heartbreaking, and gorgeous tale about two sisters, a fox cub, and what happens when one of the sisters disappears forever.Sylvie and Jules, Jules and Sylvie. Better than just sisters, better than best friends, they'd be identical twins if only they'd been born in the same year. And if only Sylvie wasn't such a fast—faster than fast—runner. But Sylvie is too fast, and when she runs to the river they're not supposed to go anywhere near to throw a wish rock just before the school bus comes on a snowy morning, she runs so fast that no one sees what happens...and no one ever sees her again.

Add a CommentMy shorthand review: The magical realism book about grief for kids.
Sister dies and younger sister tries to cope with the loss. An artistic, abstract book that questions life after death. There is alot of exposition, explanation and storytelling. Very little dialogue or action. Much reflection and whimsical writings. Very little dialogue or action. The girl is alone in her grief. Not my style.
An understated and lovely story that spiritually connects the animal and human worlds. Kathi Appelt is so good at conveying her characters' feelings- no matter the species- and I deeply felt the highs and lows of each and every one of them throughout.
This is a book about death and grieving. It has a unique spiritualism running through it, connecting people and animals. It may be just the right book for a young reader trying to process their feelings about death, or someone who likes thought-provoking stories with mysticism and animals.
A quiet book about loss and grieving. Not for everyone, but for those who love Patterson's Bridge to Terabithia, this will be worth checking out.
