GENUINE SWEET

Book ID/图书代码: 11518015B78897

English Summary/英文概要: *GENUINE SWEET is a warm, southern tale filled with humor, magic and a lot of hope.*

Genuine Sweet has gotten a surprise she can’t quite believe. After all, who could have guessed that this poor and hungry twelve year-old from tiny Sass, Georgia, would ever have anything magical to share with the world?

Everything changes when Genuine discovers that she’s a wish fetcher—born with the power to grant anyone’s wish…except her own. It’s a peculiar predicament, considering how much Genuine could use a few wishes for herself.

With the help of new friends, Genuine finds a way to give her family a boost—then takes her wish fetching global! She’s in the news, she’s the talk of the town, and life seems to be on the mend. But when she’s suddenly faced with an unexpected trouble that no amount of wishing can fix, Genuine must puzzle out the difference between wishing for a better life—and building one.

Told in the engaging, irresistible voice of Genuine Sweet herself, Faith Harkey’s debut novel spins a remarkable tale of a small-town girl with big magic and a whole lot of heart.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: *真正的甘甜是一部充满了幽默,魔术和很多希望的温暖,南方故事。*

Genuine Sweet 已经获得了一个她意想不到的惊喜。毕竟,谁能想到这个既贫穷又饥饿的12岁来自小Sass, Georgia的孩子,将会与世界分享一些神奇?

当Genuine发现自己是一个愿望取出器的时候万事都改变了————生来就有着赋予别人愿望的权力....除了她自己的。这是一个奇特的困境,考虑到Genuine能为她自己实现多少的愿望。

随着新朋友的帮助下,Genuine发现了一个可以给她的家庭繁荣的方法——然后带着她的愿望抵达全世界!她出现在新闻中,她是小镇的谈资,并且生活似乎在好转中。但当她面临着一个意想不到的无数愿望都无法解决的麻烦时,Genuine必须弄明白在期望一个更好的生活和建造一个这两者之间的区别。

用动人而又不可抗拒的声音对记者说这本书是Faith Harkey的处女作围绕着一个有着强大魔力和心中承载了许多的小镇女孩的非凡的故事。 (LNL)

Awards/获奖情况:这是个写给年轻人的有趣的,有时触动人心的处女作小说。取材于乔治亚州叫做Sass的小镇,并由12岁的带着南方口音的Genuine (Gen-u-wine) Sweet来讲述。Genuine对于错误是诚实的。她来的刚好并且告诉你她不辜负她的名字真善美。她说她有龅牙并没有什么特别的。她的母亲久病她的父亲又是镇上的酒鬼。但是依旧存在一些积极面:比如,她的祖母。她特别崇拜她。她的祖母是一个MacIntyre女性。MacIntyre女性都继承者愿望提取的天赋,带着圣光下凡有着赋予只有人类的愿望的权利。祖母解释说Genuine也有这个天赋并开始教她如何去使用。这就开启了 Genuine在愿望取用的冒险。这一切都开始得傻里傻气的但很快变成了一个大的烂摊子使得 Genuine需要来自朋友的帮助。我喜欢这个事实是尽管 Genuine没有太多的家人里留下,她确信的是真正的朋友如同Jura a和Travis, 书中我最喜欢的两个人物。并且有在人生路上不断学习的教训。

This is a funny, sometimes touching, debut novel for young adults. It’s set in a small town called Sass, Georgia, and told with a southern twang by 12-year-old Genuine (Gen-u-wine) Sweet. Genuine is honest to a fault. She comes right out and tells you that she doesn’t live up to her name of Genuine Pretty Sweet. She says she’s buck-toothed and nothing special to look at. Her mother’s long-deceased and her father is the town drunk. But there are some positives: Her Gram, for instance. She adores her grandmother. Her grandmother’s a MacIntyre woman. The MacIntyre women all inherit the gift of wish fetching, calling down magical starshine which has the capability of granting wishes to mere humans. Gram explains that Genuine also has that gift and commences to teaching her how to use it. Thus begins Genuine’s adventure in wish fetching. It all begins innocently enough but soon turns into a big mess that Genuine is going to need help from friends to get out of. I liked the fact that even though Genuine doesn’t have much family left, she makes true friends like Jura and Travis, two of my favorite characters in the book. And there are life lessons to be learned along the way.
