I was surprised at how much I loved this book. I was nine, kind of the perfect age, when it was first published but maybe it took some time to gain momentum to become a children’s classic. The story is a little spooky, a little romantic and filled with beautiful and poignant descriptions of nature and time.
Here are a couple of quotes I loved.
“Everything's a wheel, turning and turning, never stopping. The frogs is part of it, and the bugs, and the fish, and the wood thrush, too. And people. But never the same ones. Always coming in new, always growing and changing, and always moving on. That's the way it's supposed to be. That's the way it is.”
“The first week of August hangs at the very top of the summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning. The weeks that come before are only a climb from balmy spring, and those that follow a drop to the chill of autumn, but the first week of August is motionless, and hot.”
