Em Algum Lugar nas Estrelas, da autora norte-americana Clare Vanderpool, é um romance intenso sobre a difícil arte de crescer em um mundo que nem sempre parece satisfeito com a nossa presença. Pelo menos é desse jeito que as coisas têm acontecido para Jack Baker. A Segunda Guerra Mundial estava no fim, mas ele não tinha motivos para comemorar. Sua mãe morreu e seu pai... bem, seu pai nunca demonstrou se preocupar muito com o filho. Jack é então levado para um internato no Maine (o mesmo estado onde vivem Stephen King e boa parte de seus personagens). O colégio militar, o oceano que ele nunca tinha visto, a indiferença dos outros alunos: tudo aquilo faz Jack se sentir pequeno. Até ele conhecer o enigmático Early Auden. Early, um nome que poderia ser traduzido como precoce, é uma descrição muito adequada para um prodígio como ele, que decifra casas decimais do número Pi como se lesse uma odisseia. Mas, por trás de sua genialidade, há uma enorme dificuldade de se relacionar com o mundo e de lidar com seus sentimentos e com as pessoas ao seu redor. Quando chegam as festas de fim de ano, a escola fica vazia. Todos os alunos voltam para casa, para celebrar com suas famílias. Todos, menos Jack e Early. Os dois aproveitam a solidão involuntária e partem em uma jornada ao encontro do lendário Urso Apalache. Nessa grande aventura, vão encontrar piratas, seres fantásticos e até, quem sabe, uma maneira de trazer os mortos de volta – ainda que talvez do que Jack mais precise seja aprender a deixá-los em paz.

O que é preciso saber sobre este livro? Bem, só para abrir seu apetite literário, fique sabendo que Minha Vida Fora dos Trilhos foi escrito por ninguém menos que Clare Vanderpool, a mesma autora do encantador e mágico Em Algum Lugar das Estrelas. Ambos os livros compartilham a mesma essência: personagens muito jovens, longe de seus pais, escutam o convite da estrada, e partem em jornadas pessoais, repletas de riscos, desafios e — quem sabe? — ensinamentos. Embarque agora mesmo numa viagem que tanto pode levar você de volta à infância como ao tortuoso caminho do amadurecimento. Recomendamos sempre a companhia de um livro. Que tal Minha Vida Fora dos Trilhos, um romance capaz de despertar o lado mais aventureiro e nostálgico que existe em você?

“Just the sort of book that saves lives by igniting a passion for reading.” —James Patterson
“Reminiscent of Huckleberry Finn.” —The Wall Street Journal
A Michael L. Printz Honor Winner
From the author of Newbery Medal winner Moon Over Manifest comes the odyssey-like adventure of two boys’ incredible quest on the Appalachian Trail.
When Jack Baker’s father sends him from his home in Kansas to attend a boys’ boarding school in Maine, Jack doesn’t know what to expect. Certainly not Early Auden, the strangest of boys. Early keeps to himself, reads the number pi as a story, and refuses to accept truths others take for granted. Jack, feeling lonely and out of place, connects with Early, and the two become friends.
During a break from school, the boys set out for the Appalachian Trail on a quest for a great black bear. As Jack and Early travel deeper into the mountains, they meet peculiar and dangerous characters, and they make some shocking discoveries. But their adventure is only just beginning. Will Jack’s and Early’s friendship last the journey? Can the boys make it home alive?

Winner of the 2011 Newbery Award.
The movement of the train rocked me like a lullaby. I closed my eyes to the dusty countryside and imagined the sign I’d seen only in Gideon’s stories: Manifest—A Town with a rich past and a bright future.
Abilene Tucker feels abandoned. Her father has put her on a train, sending her off to live with an old friend for the summer while he works a railroad job. Armed only with a few possessions and her list of universals, Abilene jumps off the train in Manifest, Kansas, aiming to learn about the boy her father once was.
Having heard stories about Manifest, Abilene is disappointed to find that it’s just a dried-up, worn-out old town. But her disappointment quickly turns to excitement when she discovers a hidden cigar box full of mementos, including some old letters that mention a spy known as the Rattler. These mysterious letters send Abilene and her new friends, Lettie and Ruthanne, on an honest-to-goodness spy hunt, even though they are warned to “Leave Well Enough Alone.”
Abilene throws all caution aside when she heads down the mysterious Path to Perdition to pay a debt to the reclusive Miss Sadie, a diviner who only tells stories from the past. It seems that Manifest’s history is full of colorful and shadowy characters—and long-held secrets. The more Abilene hears, the more determined she is to learn just what role her father played in that history. And as Manifest’s secrets are laid bare one by one, Abilene begins to weave her own story into the fabric of the town.
Powerful in its simplicity and rich in historical detail, Clare Vanderpool’s debut is a gripping story of loss and redemption.
