Reseña del libro "The House at the End of August (en Inglés)"
Yesterday, there was only an empty field. Today, there is a house. Fourteen-year-old Wren Vale is running out of August—and, in her mind, running out of time to become the kind of person who belongs in high school. She has already started deciding what parts of herself need to be left behind: old books, childhood treasures, the sketchbook she used to fill with impossible places, maybe even the best friend who still remembers the girl Wren is trying so hard to outgrow. Then a house appears at the end of Hawthorn Lane. It should not be there. Inside are rooms that remember things Wren has forgotten, preserve things other people have lost, and show visitors versions of the life they most want to believe could be theirs. The deeper Wren goes, the more tempting the house becomes—and the harder it is to tell the difference between moving forward and abandoning something that matters. Her mother knows the house. So does the mother of a girl Wren has only recently met. And twenty-seven years earlier, two best friends entered it together and came out carrying very different versions of what happened inside. As August draws to a close, Wren must uncover what the house really keeps, what it costs to take something back, and whether growing up truly requires leaving pieces of yourself behind. The House at the End of August is an atmospheric coming-of-age mystery about friendship, memory, identity, and the terrifying possibility that the future you think you want may ask you to give up more than you realize. Perfect for readers who love haunting magical realism, emotional friendship stories, mysterious houses, family secrets, and quietly unsettling books with heart.
