The Trestle par Ben Woodard
Its a very short story, but the feeling and imagery are very powerful.
An excellent story to which most of us can probably relate in one way or another. "The Trestle" is a short story about two boys looking for adventure, and finding it on an old railroad bridge. The emotion and psychological impact are apparent in the young men's different struggles, as they individually decide how much risk is too much, and how far loyalty should actually take them. The non-existent bridge in "The Trestle" is the author's creation, based on an actual structure. I suspect that the boys' adventure on that bridge is the author's creation, based on a long ago adventure of his own.… (plus d'informations)
THE TRESTLE by Ben Woodard
Imagine the world’s highest railway bridge and two teen boys, one of them a seeker of danger and the other a cousin who will not say no to a dare. That guides THE TRESTLE by Ben Woodward. This is a YA story well worth reading. It is not a long story, but it is told with clarity and is thoroughly entertaining.
There is great suspense as the two boys walk on this single track bridge with no railings, testing fate as only teenage boys are capable. There is no sanity, logic or relevance to the daring adventure, but only the thrill that one gets when staring danger in the face.
Tom and Will are two characters that you will enjoy getting to know. You will also enjoy their adventure, even as you wish they would not do it at all. These adventures generally end one of two ways, in tragedy, or with the survivors reaping a great story that they will tell and retell for the rest of their lives. I will not tell you which way this one turns out, as that is half the thrill of the read.
This is a good book that I enjoyed and recommend to others. Young Adults and the young at heart are near certain to enjoy it.… (plus d'informations)
