Patricia is sent to spend the summer on a lake with cousins she doesn’t know while her parents work through the conditions of their separation and divorce. Her cousins find her snooty and incompetent - she can’t even manage a canoe! - and Patricia finds *them* mean and exclusionary. It is shaping up to be a terrible summer, until she finds an old pocket watch that somehow transports her back to the same family cabin on the same lake, but at a time when her own mother was 12 years old, just like Patricia herself…. Kit Pearson is a well-known Canadian children’s writer; I’ve only read a few books by her, but have enjoyed each of them for their portrayal of childhood relationships between adults and kids, and between kids themselves. While the lessons of each book are quite obvious (here, learning to accept each person as they are rather than striving for perfect parent-child relationships), the way in which the main character is led to those lessons is entertaining and well plotted; mildly recommended. ( ) Patricia is twaalf en haar ouders gaan scheiden. Ze moet de zomervakantie doorbrengen bij haar tante Ginnie en oom Dough en hun kinderen, in een vakantie huisje aan een groot meer. Patricia voelt zich niet thuis bij haar familie. Dan vindt ze een oud horloge dat haar terug brengt in de tijd, toen haar moeder twaalf was. Een mooi boek over familie, vriendschap en hoe het verleden invloed heeft op het heden. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
When Patrick's mother sends her to her cousins' cottage for the summer, Patricia doesn't want to go. She doesn't know her cousins at all, and she's never been good at camping or canoeing, let alone making new friends. When she arrives at the cottage, her worst fears come true: her cousin Kelly teases her; Aunt Ginnie and Uncle Doug feel sorry for her. She doesn't fit in. Then Patricia discovers an old watch hidden under a floorboard. When she winds it, she finds herself taken back in time to the summer when her own mother was twelve . . .
