Una adolescente de quince años es el pilar de su pequeña familia del Medio Oeste. Se encarga de gestionar las finanzas del hogar y de criar a su hermano menor mientras su madre, una artista talentosa, teje hermosos tapices. Durante seis años, siempre han convivido ellos tres. A veces su madre ha traído invitados a casa, pero ninguno se ha quedado. Sin embargo, cuando su madre trae a casa a una grulla de un metro ochenta de altura y una mirada amenazadora, la joven no puede evitar que su madre deje que el intruso entre en su corazón y en la vida de sus hijos. Encantadísima y cegada por los bordes afilados del ave, la mujer abandona el mundo que la rodea para tejer la obra maestra que le exige la grulla. En esta impresionante reinvención contemporánea de The Crane Wife, escrita por la autora ganadora de la medalla Newbery por La niña que bebió luz de luna, una adolescente fuerte y pragmática se ve obligada a madurar antes de tiempo y hará lo que sea necesario para proteger a su familia y cambiar su historia.
A fifteen-year-old teenager is the backbone of her small Midwestern family, budgeting the household finances and raising her younger brother while her mom, a talented artist, weaves beautiful tapestries. For six years, it’s been just the three of them-her mom has brought home guests at times, but none have ever stayed. Yet when her mom brings home a six-foot tall crane with a menacing air, the girl is powerless to prevent her mom letting the intruder into her heart, and her children’s lives. Utterly enchanted and numb to his sharp edges, her mom abandons the world around her to weave the masterpiece the crane demands. In this stunning contemporary retelling of “The Crane Wife” by the Newbery Medal-winning author of The Girl Who Drank the Moon, one fiercely pragmatic teen forced to grow up faster than was fair will do whatever it takes to protect her family-and change the story.
