도서소개

2000년도 뉴베리 수상작으로 감성적이고 섬세한 윌라의 내면이 잘 표현되어 있는 소설이다. 윌라 조는 패티 숙모의 집 지붕 위에 올라 와 있다. 일출을 보기 위해 지붕으로 올라간 그녀는 그저 일출만이 그녀를 이곳으로 데려온 이유가 아니라는 걸 알게 된다. 하지만 문제는 올라오고 나면 다시 내려올 수가 없다는 것. 내려오고 나서는 죽은 아기에 대한 해명을 해야 하기 때문이다. 그 일을 어떻게 설명을 해야 한단 말인가? 잊지 못할 캐릭터들이 오랫동안 독자들의 가슴에 조용하지만 힘있는 인상을 남긴다.

도서내용

Aunt Patty is fed up with me.

She fold me so last night. When I got into bed, there was a sick feeling in my stomach that stayed with me through my sleep.

I came out here to breathe deep of the fresh air but that sick feeling has not yet gone away.

And then Mrs. Garber ran by. Who would think somebody fifty years old would be up and running down the road before daybreak?

She ran by and then she ran back and stared at me from the road, her knees all the time pumping up and down.

I didn's say a word to her.

She came up to the house and rang the doorbell.

I heard the doorbell and I heard her sneakers on the flagstone patio, pum, pum, pum.

My stomach started to hurt.
