THE COLOURS OF MADELEINE:
A Corner Of White by Jaclyn Moriarty
A Corner Of White by Jaclyn Moriarty
Letters Through Worlds!
A
girl in the world has found a corner of white. The edge of a letter
hidden within a crack in the world. The crack is actually in a parking
meter and the letter is from outside the world. Or so it would have her
believe. But the more letters that arrive the more she might believe,
for her world is not as it should be, not at all as she wants it to be
and the letters from another place are the only thing that will help her
believe in the impossible and save her from her loneliness.
A
boy outside the world in a far away kingdom has been travelling for
sometime but has yet to find what he is seeking, that is until he
discovers a corner of white. The edge of a letter hidden within a crack
in the kingdom, a crack that just happens to be in a sculpture his
friend made that sits within his schools grounds. At once he believes in
the world, and what he learns from the world will help him to uncover a
truth, and save him from his wanderings.
A Corner Of White
brings hope and changes lives. A crack in the world will help to bring
colour, acceptance and friendship to an otherwise grey and desolate
life. A crack in the kingdom will help bring order, knowledge and family
to an otherwise chaotic and unpredictable life. A charismatic, witty
and touching introduction to two worlds, to lives, connected through
colour, loss and the words of a stranger through a crack in the world.
