The Wanderer (ISBN: 9780330392921) Creech, Sharon Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Macmillan. 1 Paperback(s), 2007. soft. Book Condition: New. Shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal, this Newbery Honor Book for readers 10 to 14 (from the author of the Carnegie Medal winner Ruby Holler and the Newbery Medal winner Walk Two Moons) tells of 13-year-old Sophie, who believes she is destined to sail the ocean. When she gets the chance to cross the Atlantic on board her uncle's boat The Wanderer, she can't wait to set sail. But Sophie has a secret, and deep down she's terrified that The Wanderer will take her into a mysterious part of her forgotten childhood. "Sophie, her two cousins, and her three uncles sail across the Atlantic Ocean to England in a 45-foot sailboat, fulfilling the men's lifelong dream. The trip is also a perfect opportunity to visit the ailing patriarch of the family, Bompie, who recently left the U.S. and returned to his birthplace. Sophie conveys her fascination with the sea in journal entries and retells many of Bompie's stories. Cousin Cody, also 13, keeps his own journal and it is through his entries that readers learn that Sophie's view of things is not always reliable and that she does not always tell the truth. Sophie is actually adopted and has never met Bompie. What happened to her birth parents? Why does she pretend her adopted family is her only family? And why does she pretend to know a man she has never met? These questions will keep readers motivated to discover the answers to the girl's secrets. During the journey, the shipmates endure a dangerous storm that reveals truths about each of them and allows Sophie to face the truth. The first-person immediacy and episodic nature of the narratives allow for piecemeal but intimate revelation of character. The story is exciting, funny, and brimming with life. For each crew member, there is a conscious journey to Bompie across the sea, and an unconscious one of self-discovery. This is a beautifully written and imaginatively constructed novel that speaks to the power of survival and the delicacy of grief."—School Library Journal 222.
