"Hush, little baby, don't say a word ..."
"I can
never tell anybody the real truth. But I can write it and say this
story you're about to read is fiction. I can give it a beginning,
middle and end. A plot. A character named Evie. A sister
named Anna.
Call it
fiction because fiction's what it is. Evie and Anna aren't real people.
So you can't go somewhere and look this up and say Now I know who this
story's about.
Because
if you did, it would kill my father."
Have you
ever wanted to become someone else? To be able to change who you
are, where you live, your school, your friends? It happened to Evie,
because of what her father saw, and what he had to say. Will Evie
ever find herself, her real self, again?
"Hush,
little baby, don't say a word ... " Read Hush by Jacqueline Woodson.
