內容簡介: |
6年级的米兰达和她最好的朋友萨尔,他们知道如何在纽约市中游荡。他们知道哪儿是安全的,比如当地的杂货店,他们也知道哪儿是危险的,要避开,比如角落里的那个疯子。
但是,事情开始发生变化了。一天,萨尔在街角不知何故被一个孩子打了,从此以后,萨尔就拒绝米兰达再出现在他的生活中。米兰达妈妈公寓的紧急备用钥匙被偷,一个神秘的纸条随之而来,上面写着:
我来拯救你朋友的生命,和我自己的。
我要你帮两个忙。第一:你必须给我写一封信。
纸不断地来,米兰达慢慢意识到留这张纸条的人一定知道一个不为人知的秘密。她越来越相信只有她能避免悲剧的死亡。直到最后一个纸条,她才觉得她太迟了。
这部伟大的小说发生在真实的世界里,但是却在心底保留着一个神奇的谜题。《当你到达我》是一个原创的、夺目的、和深刻的作品。
This remarkable novel holds a fantastic
puzzle at its heart.
By sixth grade, Miranda and her best friend,
Sal, know how to navigate their New York City neighborhood. They
know where it''s safe to go, and they know who to avoid. Like the
crazy guy on the corner.
But things start to unravel. Sal gets punched by
a kid on the street for what seems like no reason, and he shuts
Miranda out of his life. The apartment key that Miranda''s mom keeps
hidden for emergencies is stolen. And then a mysterious note
arrives, scrawled on a tiny slip of paper. The notes keep coming,
and Miranda slowly realizes that whoever is leaving them knows
things no one should know. Each message brings her closer to
believing that only she can prevent a tragic death. Until the final
note makes her think she''s too late.
