内容説明
In celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of Robert Newton Peck's bestselling classic, A Day No Pigs Would Die, here is the eagerly anticipated sequel. This must for schools, libraries, and summer reading lists is now available for the first time in paperback. Times are difficult during the Great Depression, and thirteen-year-old Rob Peck must struggle to keep his family together after the death of his father. Disaster after disaster strikes and the family is forced to sell their farm. Relying solely on their strong Shaker faith and close family ties, the Pecks finally prevail and young Rob learns that true wealth extends beyond money and that real values are priceless.
From Publishers Weekly
Twenty-two years have passed since the publication of the popular A Day No Pigs Would Die, but scarcely a year has gone by in the life of Robert Peck, the Vermont farm boy whose story is continued here. The sequel reprises the rural locale and Shaker way of life that characterized the first book, with one major change: with his father dead, Robert is now responsible for the upkeep of the family farm. The deaths of the ox and dairy cow in swift succession worsen matters to a point where Robert contemplates selling the farm in order to survive. Filled with country wisdom such as "Forgiveness heals a hurt better than iodine or thread," this story may appeal to readers of the original book. But the author has omitted much of the detail that originally brought his setting so vividly to life, leaving this book a far less satisfying read. 35,000 first printing.
