Newbery Award winner Sharon Creech's newest novel is an adventure-filled story of a courageous girl's journey across the ocean and into the memories of her tragic past. Stories of the past and the daily challenges to survice at sea swirl together as The Wanderer sails toward its destination, and its passengers search for their places in the world. In the poem The Wanderer, the author uses the bargaining, depressive, and acceptance stages of grief within the Wanderers mental thoughts and processes by. Through Sophie's and Cody's travel logs, the amazing experiences of these six wanderers and their perilous journey unfold. Instead The Wanderer is a story of self-creation, genetically closer to modernist portraits of the artist as cultural exile than to either heroic legend. But behind all the goofing off, he wonders if he has the strength to prove himself to the crew and to his father.
Everyone, including his dad, thinks he's nothing but a knuckleheaded doofus. Sophie's thirteen-year-old cousin Cody isn't even sure why his father brought him along on this voyage. But the personal journey she takes brings her deeper intoa forgotten past than she ever knew she could travel to. The Wanderer is a poem written in Old English. As often the case in Anglo Saxon verse, the composer and compiler are anonymous, and within the manuscript the poem is untitled. It counts 115 lines of alliterative verse. The sea calls to Sophie-promising adventure and the chance to explore and discover. The Wanderer The Wanderer is an Old English poem preserved only in an anthology known as the Exeter Book. They sail across the Atlantic toward England, the land of Bompie, her grandfather. This is a heart-wrenching poem which sheds light on the horrors of war and the loss of life and property that accompanies it. Thirteen-year-old Sophie is the only girl amongst the surly crew of The Wanderer made up of her three uncles and two cousins. The book begins with a journal entry by Sophie.
