Über dieses E-Book
A magical summer filled with adventure, friendship, and a touch of luck.
In Thimble Summer, nine-year-old Garnet Linden discovers a silver thimble in a dried-up riverbed. Little does she know, this small token will bring about a summer of wonder and excitement. As the rains return, ending the long drought on her family's farm, Garnet can't help but feel the thimble is a magical talisman, responsible for the good fortune that follows.
With the arrival of Eric, an orphan who becomes part of the Linden family, Garnet's summer is filled with new experiences and adventures. Together with her best friend, Citronella, Garnet embarks on a journey of discovery, from the building of a new barn to the county fair where her beloved pig, Timmy, wins a blue ribbon.
Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl, this charming Newbery Medal-winning tale captures the essence of childhood wonder and the magic of a special summer. Perfect for middle grade readers ages 8 to 12, Thimble Summer is a timeless story of friendship, family, and the power of imagination.
