어느 날 미란다에게 생긴 일 - 레베카 스테드 지음, 최지현 옮김/찰리북 |
소꿉친구와 멀어지는걸 경험 해보고, 책에도 빠져보고, 새로운 친구를 사귀기도 하고,
친구랑 싸우기도, 알바도 해보는등 평범한 일상을 보내고 있는
초등학교 6학년 소녀 미란다는 어느 날 알 수 없는 의미의 쪽지를 발견합니다.
미스테리한 쪽지에 얽힌 비밀을 풀어나가며 미란다가 성장해나가는 과정을 담고 있어요.
유쾌하면서도, 긴장감도 있고, 편견에 대한 교훈메시지도 있고..
마지막엔 왠지 슬퍼서 코가 찡해지는...ㅠ 대박 소설입니다!
어린이 책이라고 무시하지 마세요~
처음엔 그냥 평범한 일상이라고 생각했던 부분들도 결국엔 비밀이 숨겨져 있으며
작가가 천재인가 싶을 정도로 아주 탄탄한 미스테리 소설이었어요!!!
스포일러가 될까봐 더이상 내용 언급은 못하겠지만... 강추!!!!!!!!!!!! 입니다요
<소설 속 말, 말, 말> A person can't miss something she never had. P 28 Mom says each of us has a veil between ourselves and the rest of the world, like a bride wears on her wedding day, except this kind of veil is invisible. We walk around happily with these invisible veils hanging down over our faces. The world is kind of blurry, and we like it that way. But sometimes our veils are pushed away for a few moments, like there's a wind blowing it from our faces. And when the veil lifts, we can see the world as it really is, just for those few seconds before it settles down again. We see all the beauty, and cruelty, and sadness, and love. But mostly we are happy not to. Some people learn to lift the veil themselves. Then they don't have to depend on the wind anymore. [...] It's just her way of saying that most of the time, people get distracted by little stuff and ignore the big stuff. P 71 Sometimes you never feel meaner than the moment you stop being mean. It's like how turning on a light makes you realize how dark the room had gotten. And the way you usually act, the things you would have normally done, are like these ghosts that everyone can see but pretends not to. P 144 "Well, it's simple to love someone," she said. "But it's hard to know when you need to say it out loud." P 149 |
