The book starts with Winter Crane describing how her hometown Reeve's End is a terrible place to live and everyone there is poor. Winter found an Air Jordan shoe in the woods and said: "That shoe also means he's not from Reeve's End," because it was a three hundred dollar shoe. Once people leave Reeve's End, they don't come back. Winter lives on her own in a shack in the woods with no electricity. Her mother died when she was seven, her sister left Reeve's End and has never returned, and her father thinks she is a burden so she stays away from him.
Winter Crane seems to be very alone in this world. My heart goes out to her already and I have only read the first chapter of the book! I can't wait to keep reading and see what happens to Winter and if she ever makes it out of Reeve's End.
For only being a chapter in, this story seems really interesting already! All of the books I've read so far have been targeted at young elementary school students. I may have to try to read something a little more mature after I'm done with the ones that I have checked out. I'm sure it would be much longer, but I would probably enjoy it more, too.
ReplyDeleteI am so intrigued by your post! I absolutely love suspenseful and mysterious books. I enjoy the thrill of thinking what could possibly come next! I will have to add this book to my list, especially since it is targeted towards a higher age group. I can't wait to check this book out!
