Sandy Stark-McGinnis Ordre des livres

From the acclaimed author of Extraordinary Birds, a powerful story about family, friendship, and the light that can be found even in the darkest of places. Cassie's always looked up to her mom, a vibrant woman bursting with grand ideas. Together they planned to check off every dream on their think-big bucket list, no matter how far the adventures took them. The future seemed unlimited. But then came the diagnosis, and Mom started to lose her memories. Even the ones Cassie thought she'd never forget. Even Cassie's name. Cassie tries her hardest to keep Mom happy . . . to focus on math lessons and come up with art ideas that used to burst off her pen. But as Mom's memories dimmed, so did Cassie's inspiration. She's even pushed away Bailey, the one friend who could help make things okay. So, Cassie decides to take action. It's time for one last adventure... even if it means taking a big risk to get there.

La December només té onze anys però ja sap quin és el seu destí: es convertirà en ocell. Un dia no gaire llunyà, de la cicatriu que té a l’esquena li sortiran unes ales i arrencarà a volar lluny, molt lluny. I per fi abandonarà la casa d’acollida on ara s’està. Però abans ha d’entrenar molt dur, perquè volar no és fàcil. Els adults sospiten, fan preguntes. Però la December no els explica quins són els seus plans, ni tan sols ho diu a la seva millor amiga. Sap que no se la creurien, així que fingeix normalitat fins que arribi el moment de partir. I aquest moment cada dia és més a prop: està a punt de saltar i emprendre el vol. Mireu com agafa impuls.
