Being Noah (e-book) (used book) | Cheryl Hardy | bookbook.eu

Description

Ten-year-old Noah has a gift beyond the natural gifts of humans.

This ability allows him to hear the thoughts of the family therapy dog, Ozzie, and to see visions of the future, which go unnoticed by the people who should love him and trust him the most.

Noah's brother Sean is on the autism spectrum and receives more attention from their parents, at least more than Noah gets…which causes him to feel angst, sadness, frustration, and jealousy. Noah wants what all children want, love and acceptance. He needs his parents and grandmother to trust him and help him gain confidence in himself.

Being Noah is a story of a boy believing in himself, even when others don't, and finding a way to use his gifts so he can affect change in the world and lives of those around him.

Being Noah is Margaret Cheryl Hardy's first and only work, written in the MFA program at Western Colorado University.

"A thoughtful book that is well-paced and includes enough realism to balance the mystical and spiritual content. A great book for introspection and discussion after reading."-School Library Journal
