BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: SEVERAL
Vera is a girl who lives on the eastern coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, or the edge of the world with the Pacific Ocean stretching far away to Chili. Vera wants to be a ships captain when she grows up. She has learned Morse code. She longs for a friend. Lucas feels like he lives on the edge of the world on the coast of Chili. He also has learned Morse code and wishes for a friend. Can Morse code reach across the ocean?"
On The Edge of the World is an uniquely formatted book with Vera's story in the first part of the book, and Lucas' story starting at the other end of the book until they meet in the middle. The themes of loneliness and longing for a friend are sweetly illustrated by the author in blue and brown tones.
