From Newbery Medal winner and bestselling author Sharon Creech comes a grand, sweeping yarn that is a celebration of the great and unexpected gifts of love, friendship, and forgiveness. With a starred review from Kirkus Reviews calling it an "enchanting tale to treasure," The Great Unexpected captures the heart and the imagination.
Humorous and heartfelt, this is a story of pairs—of young Naomi and Lizzie, both orphans in present-day Blackbird Tree, USA, and of Sybil and Nula, grown-up sisters from faraway Rook's Orchard, Ireland, who have become estranged.
Young Naomi Deane is brimming with curiosity and her best friend, Lizzie Scatterding, could talk the ears off a cornfield. Naomi has a knack for being around when trouble happens. She knows all the peculiar people in town—like Crazy Cora and Witch Wiggins. But then, one day, a boy drops out of a tree. Just like that. A strangely charming Finn boy. And then the Dingle Dangle man appears, asking all kinds of questions. Curious surprises are revealed—three locked trunks, a pair of rooks, a crooked bridge, and that boy—and soon Naomi and Lizzie find their lives changed forever.
As two worlds are woven together, Creech reveals that hearts can be mended and that there is indeed a gossamer thread that connects us all.

As I'm reading the book, so far so good! The book is mixed with a little mystery on who Finn is and why he suddenly appears in the neighbourhood. I love it! :)
It was okay...
I can't wait to buy it
I thought the book was a awesome book because it talked about two girls who ever gave up even if they though other people would give up on then.
Its a nice book!
this book sounds amazing I am going to get and read a million times omg
it was an ok book, it wasn't that bad...
this book is a must read! Something is going on atop black dog hill- something bad. When posh and perfect finn falls out of the big tree, naomi and her friend hop into action! when he awakes, he seems like this snotty bullie but he seems to start changing. Im only this far but check back later to find out more!
