It is a season of escapade as well as drama, during which fourteen-year-old Jick comes of age. Through his eyes we see those nearest and dearest to him at a turning point--\"where all four of our lives made their bend\"--and discover along with him his own connection to the land, to history, and to the deep-fathomed mysteries of one's kin and one's self.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 7.7 x 5.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51761493279008,"sku":"9780743271271","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/daab86ceaae442471f1c62f32ad36881.webp?v=1780208857","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/english-creek-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
