O knihe
Simon is a boy with doubts about himself. He worries that he is not "enough""-not cool enough or good enough to feel secure and be liked. He initially hopes to solve this problem by having and doing things that will make him seem "enough" in the eyes of others, but this never seems to fill the hole he feels inside.
When Simon is presented with an opportunity to go to sleepaway camp, he discovers that the secret to happiness is not so much in the getting as the giving. He climbs out of a seemingly overwhelming situation by taking on a role with younger campers that creates more success than he could have imagined.
What readers are saying...
A beautifully simple story told beautifully. My 12-year-old keeps it on his bedside table.
My childhood was also spent feeling that I was somehow inadequate. I wish I had read Climb On Simon then to help me see I had choices.
This is heartwarming and heart wrenching - a truth that is familiar to many of us, including adults, but is magnified in youth. It will capture young readers as much as I was captured by it.
I love coming across books like this. They bring a smile to my face and a sense of hope to my heart. Both are much needed these days.
