内容简介
When May dies suddenly while gardening, Summer assumes she'll never see her beloved aunt again. But then Summer's Uncle Ob claims that May is on her way back--she has sent a sign from the spirit world.Summer isn't sure she believes in the spirit world, but her quirky classmate Cletus Underwood--who befriends Ob during his time of mourning--does. So at Cletus' suggestion, Ob and Summer (with Cletus in tow) set off in search of Miriam B. Young, Small Medium at Large, whom they hope will explain May's departure and confirm her possible return.

精彩书评
"They've been a family for half of Summer's 12 years, and when her Aunt May dies, a little bit of Summer and her uncle Ob dies too--and his whirligigs go ``still as night.'' Ob's 'gigs are his ``mysteries,'' works of art that capture the essence of Storms, Heaven, Fire, Love, Dreams . . . and May. For a time, he seems to be failing, and Summer fears she'll lose him, as well. Then he claims to have been visited by May's spirit. And, stranger still to Summer, he takes a liking to that ``flat out lunatic,'' Cletus Underwood. Lunatic or no, Cletus steps unhesitatingly into the space May has left, and all three take off on a journey in search of May. It's an ill - fated journey that, nevertheless, lets Ob and Summer turn a corner in their grieving--and sets Ob free. With homely detail, Rylant plunges readers into the middle of Summer's world, creating characters certain to live long in their memories. Her tightly woven plot wastes no words; May's death and the course of her husband and niece's grieving are both reflected in and illuminated by the state of Ob's mysteries and the course of that interrupted journey of discovery. There is much to ponder here, from the meaning of life and death to the power of love. That it all succeeds is a tribute to a fine writer who brings to the task a natural grace of language, an earthly sense of humor, and a well-grounded sense of the spiritual."

"[SM]和描述的一样,好评! 上周周六,闲来无事,上午上了一个上午网,想起好久没买书了,似乎我买书有点上瘾,一段时间不逛书店就周身不爽,难道男人逛书店就象女人逛商场似的上瘾?于是下楼吃了碗面,这段时间非常冷,还下这雨,到书店主要目的是买一大堆书,上次专程去买却被告知缺货,这次应该可以买到了吧。可是到一楼的查询处问,小姐却说昨天刚到的一批又卖完了!晕!为什么不多进点货,于是上京东挑选书。好了,废话不说。好了,我现在来说说这本书的观感吧,一个人重要的是找到自己的腔调,不论说话还是写字。腔调一旦确立,就好比打架有了块趁手的板砖,怎么使怎么顺手,怎么拍怎么有劲,顺带着身体姿态也挥洒自如,打架简直成了舞蹈,兼有了美感和韵味。要论到写字,腔调甚至先于主题,它是一个人特有的形式,或者工具;不这么说,不这么写,就会别扭;工欲善其事,必先利其器,腔调有时候就是“器”,有时候又是“事”,对一篇文章或者一本书来说,器就是事,事就是器。这本书,的确是用他特有的腔调表达了对“腔调”本身的赞美。|发货真是出乎意料的快,昨天下午订的货,第二天一早就收到了,赞一个,书质量很好,正版。独立包装,每一本有购物清单,让人放心。帮人家买的书,周五买的书,周天就收到了,快递很好也很快,包装很完整,跟同学一起买的两本,我们都很喜欢,谢谢!了解京东:2013年3月30日晚间,京东商城正式将原域名360buy更换为jd,并同步推出名为“joy”的吉祥物形象,其首页也进行了一定程度改版。此外,用户在输入jingdong域名后,网页也自动跳转至jd。对于更换域名,京东方面表示,相对于原域名360buy,新切换的域名jd更符合中国用户语言习惯,简洁明了,使全球消费者都可以方便快捷地访问京东。同时,作为“京东”二字的拼音首字母拼写,jd也更易于和京东品牌产生联想,有利于京东品牌形象的传播和提升。京东在进步,京东越做越大。||||好了,现在给大家介绍两本本好书:《谢谢你离开我》是张小娴在《想念》后时隔两年推出的新散文集。从拿到文稿到把它送到读者面前,几个月的时间,欣喜与不舍交杂。这是张小娴最美的散文。美在每个充满灵性的文字,美在细细道来的倾诉话语。美在作者书写时真实饱满的情绪,更美在打动人心的厚重情感。从装祯到设计前所未有的突破,每个精致跳动的文字,不再只是黑白配,而是有了鲜艳的色彩,首次全彩印刷,法国著名唯美派插画大师,亲绘插图。|两年的等待加最美的文字,就是你面前这本最值得期待的新作。《洗脑术:怎样有逻辑地说服他人》全球最高端隐秘的心理学课程,彻底改变你思维逻辑的头脑风暴。白宫智囊团、美国FBI、全球十大上市公司总裁都在秘密学习!当今世界最高明的思想控制与精神绑架,政治、宗教、信仰给我们的终极启示。全球最高端隐秘的心理学课程,一次彻底改变你思维逻辑的头脑风暴。从国家、宗教信仰的层面透析“思维的真相”。白宫智囊团、美国FBI、全球十大上市公司总裁都在秘密学习!《洗脑术:怎样有逻辑地说服他人》涉及心理学、社会学、神经生物学、医学、犯罪学、传播学适用于:读心、攻心、高端谈判、公关危机、企业管理、情感对话……洗脑是所有公司不愿意承认,却是真实存在的公司潜规则。它不仅普遍存在,而且无孔不入。阅读本书,你将获悉:怎样快速说服别人,让人无条件相信你?如何给人完美的第一印象,培养无法抗拒的个人魅力?如何走进他人的大脑,控制他们的思想?怎样引导他人的情绪,并将你的意志灌输给他们?如何构建一种信仰,为别人造梦?[SZ]"
