Sharon E Laker Bücher

Sharon Laker taucht in ihrem Debüt in die nostalgische Welt der Kindheit ein, in der ein alter Bahnhof und die umliegende Landschaft zur Kulisse für Abenteuer wurden. Ihre Arbeit schöpft oft aus persönlichen Erfahrungen und Reflexionen und verwandelt diese in fesselnde Erzählungen. Laker erforscht durch ihre besondere literarische Stimme Themen wie Erinnerung, Ort und die Verbindung zwischen Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Ihr Engagement zeigt sich im zehnjährigen Prozess der Entstehung ihres ersten Werkes, was eine Autorin offenbart, die Tiefe und Detailreichtum schätzt.

A group of friendly, fun-loving mice have made their home next to an abandoned railway station in Countesthorpe, England. Most days, the mice watch the humans come and go and wonder what they do with the newspapers they buy. Meanwhile, a small mouse named McGee is trying to figure out how he's going to feed his family during the drought in Scotland. As luck would have it, McGee finds an open bag of barley, but it's in the back of a van. Soon McGee unexpectedly finds himself in the small English village of Countesthorpe. There, McGee meets the friendly group of mice who promise to help him get back home to his family. The mice discover they must ask other animals in the village to help them get McGee back to Scotland. Everyone works together to overcome the various challenges that arise. Along the way, the mice, McGee, and other animals become good friends and have all sorts of exciting adventures. This book was awarded the bronze medal in the Wishing Shelf Book Awards contest.
