Dear Reader

fullDescription

Gilmore Girls meets Wuthering Heights in Mary O'Connell's Dear Reader, a whip-smart, poignant, modern-day take on Emily Brontë's classic novel.
For seventeen-year-old Flannery Fields, the only respite from the plaid-skirted mean girls at Sacred Heart High School is her beloved teacher Miss Sweeney's AP English class. But when Miss Sweeney doesn't show up to teach Flannery's favorite book, Wuthering Heights, leaving behind her purse, Flannery knows something is wrong.
The police are called, and Flannery gives them everything—except Miss Sweeney's copy of Wuthering Heights. This she holds onto. And good thing she does, because when she opens it, it has somehow transformed into Miss Sweeney's real-time diary. It seems Miss Sweeney is in New York City—and she's in trouble.
So Flannery does something very unFlannery-like: she skips school and sets out for Manhattan, with the book as her guide. But as soon as she arrives, she meets a boy named Heath. Heath is British, on a gap year, incredibly smart—yet he's never heard of Albert Einstein or Anne Frank. In fact, Flannery can't help thinking that he seems to have stepped from the pages of Brontë's novel. Could it be?

     March 6, 2017
     Columbia-bound senior Flannery Fields is anxious to trade Connecticut for New York City. When her AP English teacher disappears, leaving behind her purse and a worn copy of Wuthering Heights, Flannery sets out on a whirlwind quest to find her. Flannery is stunned to find that the book has inexplicably transformed into Miss Sweeney’s diary, with new entries popping up as the teacher searches N.Y.C. for a young man named Brandon, who Flannery discovers has been killed in action in Afghanistan. As she chases an increasingly unbalanced Miss Sweeney through the city, Flannery is joined by Heath Smith, a charming boy on a gap year, who seems oddly similar to Wuthering Heights’s Heathcliff. O’Connell (The Sharp Time) neatly juxtaposes Flannery’s anticipation for the “adventure, reinvention, to become someone new” with Miss Sweeney’s journal entries, illuminating the complex chaos of life and love, demonstrating that seemingly inconsequential choices and people can have lingering effects. The use of Wuthering Heights intensifies the impact of Flannery and Miss Sweeney’s corresponding journeys; even readers who haven’t read the classic will find significance in the parallels. Ages 12–up. Agent: Lisa Bankoff, ICM.

   • content: Flannery Fields's beloved AP English teacher, Miss Sweeny, is missing. Flannery gives the police the purse found at the teacher's desk but keeps Miss Sweeny's well-read copy of WUTHERING HEIGHTS. When Flannery discovers the book is actually a diary of Miss Sweeny's activities, she skips school and heads to Manhattan to find her cherished teacher. Saskia Maarleveld narrates the story in two voices, Miss Sweeny's and Flannery's. As her diary is read aloud, Miss Sweeny provides a myriad of clues to her disappearance. Maarleveld gives her a smooth and slightly breathless voice. Flannery tells her own story, which Maarleveld delivers straightforwardly. Maarleveld also captures Flannery's efforts to balance her concern for Miss Sweeny and her attraction to a boy who offers to help. N.E.M. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine
