A Hole In The World 在线电子书 图书描述

As punishment for telling a lie, 15-year-old Paul Shackleford has been "condemned to a summer of indentured servitude" his parents send him to work on a farm owned by distant relatives. Although the city boy believes that his parents are overreacting, he is surprised at how quickly he grows fond of the enigmatic people he meets at the Vallenport farm. Less folksy and fantastical than some of Hite's previous works (Dither Farm; Stick and Whittle), this introspective novel retains the author's characteristic warmth, philosophical flavor and touch of rural romance. Readers will be moved by the generous, soulful country dwellers who take Paul into their hearts to fill the "hole" left by their dear departed friend: the wise, impeccably truthful Hennley Gray. As Paul gets to know the Vallenport clan and understand the depth of their grief, he strives to meet the standards of the much-admired Hennley. The ethereal aspects of the story Hennley's ghostlike presence, the telepathic qualities of the dog he left behind add an aura of mystery, but it is the more down-to-earth lessons Paul learns, about friendship and honesty, that will resonate longest. Ages 12-up.

Gr 6-10-As a result of a lie he told to cover for a friend, 15-year-old Paul Shackleford is sent to spend the summer on the farm of distant relatives in rural Virginia. It seems more like banishment to Paul, an ordinarily good kid. At the farm, with a greeting nip at his hindquarters he is introduced to Einstein, a remarkable dog that will play a significant role in his summer. He learns that Einstein belonged to a former employee who committed suicide a year earlier as cancer gradually compromised his quality of life. Paul also comes to realize that Hennley was revered by all who knew him. Ada and Hargrove Vallencourt, as well as their hardworking crew, welcome Paul into their midst even as they initiate him into the intensity of farm labor. The teen holds his own, not only in terms of the physical labor, but also in blending with the vagaries of the various residents. He later reflects on the genuineness of the people here compared to his friends at home. Throughout the story, the possibility of a specter, that of Hennley Gray, intervenes. Paul and his new friend Rebecca later conclude that maybe they are all haunting Hennley's soul rather than the other way around. Hite has created a simple story that reflects on truth and the basic goodness of people. One of the novel's strengths is the wonderful give-and-take between Paul and his lawyer father. In an amusing turnabout, the young man attributes a summer's growth in maturity to his parents, rather than to himself. A good discussion starter.

Gr. 7-9. Paul Shackleford is in exile on a farm. He lied for a friend, which led to legal trouble. Now, his father has sent him to a distant relative in central Virginia to work as a laborer. People in the small farming community keep remarking on his resemblance to a local who committed suicide the year before, and as the summer passes, Paul finds out more about the much-revered Hennley Gray and aspires to be like him. This is a quiet story, almost too quiet, and rather formal in its telling. Yet there are a number of things that will grab readers. There's a rumor that Gray's ghost haunts the countryside, and the dog Gray left behind forges a special relationship with Paul that is touching, almost mystical. Paul develops another relationship as well, with a girl his own age, which is more tentative but equally satisfying. A book for Hite's fans and also for readers willing to spend some time with the storytelling. Ilene Cooper
