โ[A] memorable story.โ โPublishers Weekly (starred review)
From Newbery Awardโwinning author Patricia MacLachlan comes a โquiet tale about finding your own voiceโ (Kirkus Reviews) while learning to understand the people you love the most.
Sylvie Bloom wants to find something new and exciting this summerโat least more exciting than the cows, goats, and chickens on her familyโs farm that sheโs become accustomed to. Luckily, Sylvieโs teacher Mrs. Ludolf has the perfect idea. Sylvie can take over her husband Sheriff Ludolfโs column in the newspaper for the summer, reporting on all the important events that happen in their small Wyoming town. Sylvie is thrilled to have a new challenge, but sheโs not sure sheโll actually see anything amazing. At least nothing like the things her mother saw when she traveled the world as a famous opera singer.
Sylvie canโt figure out why her mother would give up singing in front of thousands of people. Have she and her brother Nate been holding her mother back? And when her motherโs old duet partner James Grayson writes that heโs coming to perform nearby, will she be tempted to return to the stage, without them?
