你能想象鸟儿顺着你手指描画的路线飞翔吗？你能想象风儿为你捎来远处的话语吗？你会相信有那样一个听得到你内心深处声音的山谷吗？
彼得·斯通的家庭因种种原因从繁华的城市搬到了美国德克萨斯州丘陵地区的小镇。彼得的父母和姐妹总是吵吵嚷嚷，家中的喧闹让彼得感到窒息。他走出家门，想要找一处能够安静独处的地方，意外发现了一个神奇的山谷。山谷里有沙沙作响的风、有跳舞的豆娘和绵延的花田。在那里，彼得认识了小女孩安妮·布莱思。火红头发的安妮热爱艺术，她的思维和话语常常透着一股与年龄不匹配的深沉。彼得慢慢知道关于安妮的一切，原来是癌症在折磨着这个内心无比美丽的女孩。
神奇的山谷仿佛是善良孩子的庇护所，彼得和安妮在山谷玩耍、创作艺术，看到了山谷动人心魄的美，也发现了它施展的魔法。倾听、召唤、防御、攻击，山谷仿佛是一个有生命的存在，让他们投身其中，忘记烦恼。然而，现实生活中的困难和不如愿终究还在那里，需要他们勇敢地去面对……
成长是一场冒险和磨砺，孩子会内心孤独、敏感、无所适从，甚至想要逃离。他们需要一个像书中的山谷那样美丽的地方，需要父母的理解和鼓励，需要有人倾听他们内心深处的声音。孩子的逃离，最终，是为了回家。

A dying girl gives a boy the strength to live in this lyrical novel that will break your heart and lift your spirit
Peter Stone’s parents and siblings are extroverts, musicians, and yellers—and the louder they get, the less Peter talks, or even moves, until he practically fits his last name. When his family moves to the Texas Hill Country, though, Peter finds a tranquil, natural valley where he can, at last, hear himself think.
There, he meets a girl his age: Annie Blythe. Annie tells Peter she’s a “wish girl.” But Annie isn’t just any wish girl; she’s a “Make-A-Wish Girl.” And in two weeks she will begin a dangerous treatment to try and stop her cancer from spreading. Left alone, the disease will kill her. But the treatment may cause serious, lasting damage to her brain.
Annie and Peter hatch a plan to escape into the valley, which they begin to think is magical. But the pair soon discovers that the valley—and life—may have other plans for them. And sometimes wishes come true in ways they would never expect.
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 4–7—In this companion to Nightingale's Nest (Razorbill, 2014), 12-year-old Peter Stone's new home in rural Texas is completely unlike his previous life in San Antonio. Even in the quiet of the country, his family is too loud. They never stop to understand sensitive, introverted Peter. The boy soon ventures into the valley and meets the infuriatingly fascinating Annie, a self-proclaimed "wish girl." He wonders if she might be magical, like the mysterious valley. However, what she really means is "Make-a-Wish girl": Annie has cancer. Weaving in elements of magical realism, this modern story combines light fantasy elements with the harsh reality of Peter's life, including some harrowing past experiences with bullies and a period of dark depression and thoughts of self-harm. The fears and dreams of the characters unfold as they make difficult, sometimes life-changing decisions. The valley is a character, too, mysteriously directing animals and plants to help friends or hinder foes. Peter's first-person perspective is outshined by descriptions of feisty Annie, who dreams of becoming a world famous artist. Through the creation of site-specific environmental pieces, Annie teaches Peter about the transformative power of art and ephemeral beauty. Other themes include bullying and the value of listening. Peter knows the names and habits of many geographically specific flora and fauna, though it's never fully explained why a city boy has such extensive knowledge of natural science. Nevertheless, this is an intensely compelling story. VERDICT This emotional story will be loved by fans of Nightingale's Nest, as the plot structure, atmosphere, and characters are similar.—Amy Seto Musser, Denver Public Library --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
