媒体推荐
故事最后的结果不仅仅引出了一个悲剧,还揭开了混杂着秘密与欺瞒的另一个故事。读者看后将会明白,眼睛看到的世界充满局限……故事中的人物是“非典型”高中生——他们抽烟喝酒,却也彼此照顾,作伴青春。如果成熟一些读者想看一种揭露某种现实生活的故事,那对这部别具一格的城市传说一定不会失望。
——美国 《学校图书馆杂志》
在这个青少年心理故事中,斯图尔特融合了神秘、恐惧和不断推动友谊的叙述张力。这个故事开灯阅读更好,因为故事展现的是现实世界往往比儿童恐怖故事更吓人,并且最吓人的地方往往是家里。斯图尔特营造的焦灼氛围剖开了偏执多疑的真实状态,人类忠诚的局限,复仇之路上的执着,以及在这个年纪友谊改变青少年成长轨迹的方式。
——美国《书单》 杂志

"When I was little, I imagined a monster: Scaly hands. Pits for eyes..."
When Tracy and her best friend, Lisa, were kids, stories about a man-a creep who exposes himself to little girls-kept them out of the woods and in their own backyards. But Tracy and Lisa aren't so little anymore, and the man in the woods is nothing but a silly story. Right?
But someone is in the woods. Someone is watching. And he knows all their secrets, secrets they can't tell anyone-not even each other.
"Monsters don't exist."
Lisa's just being paranoid. At least that's what Tracy thinks. But when a disturbing "gift" confirms her worst fears, it sets the girls on a dangerous journey that takes them beyond the edge of the woods. They swiftly learn however that reality is more terrifying than the most chilling myth, and what they find will test the bonds of friendship, loyalty, and love.
"Once upon a time, two girls were lost in the woods."
In Barbara's Stewart's What We Knew, Tracy and Lisa can't destroy the evil they'll face, but can they stop it from destroying each other?
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Gr 9 Up—Lisa and Tracy are best friends and both have wild imaginations. The legend of Banana Man has lived in their minds since middle school. Now in high school, Lisa still feels his presence and while she knows that the legend is not real, she still feels watched from the woods. Discovering a furnished tent in the woods only ignites her fear. Is this the work of Banana Man or something else? Once the girls decide that it is not real, a gift from Banana Man shows up only to spark their suspicions once more. The end result is not only tragic, but also tells an entirely different story of secrets and deception; readers come away understanding that there is always more than meets the eye. At times the story line is hard to follow with many secondary characters and love interests, though most readers will stay tuned to find out more about the legend of Banana Man. The characters are rough around the edges—they smoke and drink. They also take care of one another and will ring true to teens. VERDICT Older readers looking for a book that unravels the truth in an unconventional way will enjoy this urban legend.—Karen Alexander, Lake Fenton High School, Linden, MI
