Night Wings
Autor Joseph Bruchac Ilustrat de Sally Wern Comporten Hardback – 29 iun 2009 – vârsta până la 12 ani
Night Wingsfollows a Native American boy named Paul who is forced to journey up a treacherous mountain and must come face-to-face with something even more terrifying and deadly than his surroundings.
Paul has always believed in the power of dreams. He knows that they are often warnings. Warnings that should be taken very seriously. Now his nightmare visions of a fearsome winged creature are becoming all too real.
And though Paul has always depended on the wisdom of his Abenaki ancestors’ stories to guide him, no monster tale will prepare him for the horror he is about to encounter. All alone. At the top of one of the most dangerous mountains in the world.

My
dream
from
last
night
haunts
me.
I
am
still
running,
still
trying
to
hide
from
something
I
cannot
see.
I
know
that
it
sees
me
with
eyes
that
can
pierce
the
darkness.
I
know
that
it
hungers
to
take
my
life.
Paul has always believed in the power of dreams. He knows that they are often warnings. Warnings that should be taken very seriously.
Now his nightmare visions of a predatory winged creature are becoming all too real. And though Paul has always depended on the wisdom of his Abenaki ancestors' stories to guide his footsteps, no monster tale could have prepared him for what he is about to encounter, alone, at the top of one of the most dangerous mountains in the world.

Recenzii
“Bruchac’s
fast-moving
tale
is
steeped
in
Indian
lore
that
injects
this
otherwise
straightforward
thriller
with
a
sense
of
meaning
and
even
spirituality.
A
perfect
book
to
gobble
up
in
a
single,
sweaty
sitting.”
“The author brings Abenaki ways of life and thought in the modern world into sharp focus here.”
“The intriguing Native lore, the realistic teen narrative, and cliff-hanger sentences that build suspense at the end of each chapter are signature Bruchac and will captivate readers.”
