Product Description

Why had he come to her, with his dark secrets from a long-ago past? What was the purpose of their strange, haunting journeys back into her own childhood? Was it to help Dab, her retarded older brother, wracked with mysterious pain who sometimes took more care and love than Tree had to give? Was it for her mother, Vy, who loved them the best she knew how, but wasn't home enough to ease the terrible longing?

Whatever secrets his whispered message held, Tree knew she must follow. She must follow Brother Rush through the magic mirror, and find out the truth. About all of them.

Ce commentaire est de: Sweet Whispers Brother Rush Pb (Paperback)

My book was about a girl and her brother. They lived alone in a house. The girl name was Tree. her brother name was Dab. It was a man will Tree thought it was. It was a ghost. She liked the ghost and she wanted to tell her brother but she did not know how. Dab was slow. He use to taik and get his words wrong. All the girls like him. tree use to see the ghost. It made her see her life that she have not done. a woman can to give them food to eat. They had a wonam who came to clean they house for them. The book was good. Tree had to go to school and look out for her brother. Tree was 15 and Dab was 17 years old. some people can relate to the book. So the book is good. Tre e sometimes came home before Dab. She thougth something had happen to him. Read the book it is good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet--Not, Bitter--Yes, Dec 6 1999

Ce commentaire est de: Sweet Whispers Brother Rush (Hardcover)

I just finished reading this great book. Why is it great? It would make a wonderful stage play and I'm surprised that no one has done it yet. Hamilton is a master at characterization. The mother and daughter along with their relationship are entirely believable and complicated. Hamilton captured that fine line between love and hate which teens experience with their parents. This book is much better than "Catcher In The Rye!" Buy this book. Read it. You'll be glad you did. And watch out for those fine lookin ghosts hang'n out at da Sevn Levn. See ya dude!
