Sugar Shack [图书] 豆瓣
作者: Lucy Knisley Random House Graphic 2025 - 8
In the final volume of the bestselling Peapod Farm series, a city kid turned country girl whose life has been changing nonstop is settling into her new place in the family—only for unexpected drama to strike between sisters.
“Understated and full of heart.”—Kirkus Reviews
Jen couldn't be more excited to spend time on Peapod Farm with her stepsisters, Andy and Reese. For months, Jen has been so focused on trying to figure out how she fits into her new blended family that she hasn't realized she's found her place... that is, until Reese calls her "sister."
Excited and content, Jen thought she had figured everything out, but now she's not so sure. A rift emerges between the girls as Andy doubles down on being Reese's ACTUAL sister, while Jen is just the STEP sister. With Andy's attitude bringing a cold front to the farm, it seems like it's going to be a long winter.
Maybe between Peapod Farm's first snow and learning how to tap a tree for sugar at winter's end, Jen and Andy both will have a chance to truly understand what it means to be family.

读过 Sugar Shack 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
虽然讲的是九十年代美国东北部农场青少年的生活,我读来却觉得亲切。同事大哥的太太是农场长大,给我说最大的影响是每天四点多就会醒来,直到成年后换成朝九晚五的工作早起的习惯还在。
喜欢的一个细节是她讲煮枫糖浆的时候,到中间程度会有那种甜甜热热的枫糖水喝,很是美味。但是只有在产地的人才会品尝得到中间产物,因为过后只会有枫糖浆保存下来。当时当地的独特风味,我想是对辛苦劳作的人们的额外奖赏。
