适合初涉原版阅读的中学生阅读的英美青少年畅销书
最近很巧有两个朋友都向我提到一个问题. 两个孩子一个初二,一个高一,属于校内英语不错,校外加课以新概念一/二册和语法班为主,都是刚开始想涉猎原版阅读. 几次尝试后都发现一个问题:他们有能力读的书,都太低幼了;适合他们年龄段看的,又太难了,坚持下去很困难. 他们知道我爱买书,就让我帮着早早有没有内容适合大孩子看,语言又不难的英语原版书.
我把最后找到的结果分享在这里,供有类似需求的家长参考:
Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
Lina is just like any other fifteen-year-old Lithuanian girl in 1941. She paints, she draws, she gets crushes on boys. Until one night when Soviet officers barge into her home, tearing her family from the comfortable life they’ve known. Separated from her father, forced onto a crowded and dirty train car, Lina, her mother, and her young brother slowly make their way north, crossing the Arctic Circle, to a work camp in the coldest reaches of Siberia. Here they are forced, under Stalin’s orders, to dig for beets and fight for their lives under the cruelest of conditions.
Lina finds solace in her art, meticulously – and at great risk – documenting events by drawing, hoping these messages will make their way to her father’s prison camp to let him know they are still alive. It is a long and harrowing journey, spanning years and covering 6,500 miles, but it is through incredible strength, love, and hope that Lina ultimately survives. Between Shades of Gray is a novel that will steal your breath and capture your heart..
