Trisha McFarland har bare tatt en liten avstikker fra stien for å komme unna kjeklingen mellom sin bror og sin nyskilte mor. Det faller henne ikke inn at det er forbundet med fare. I et øyeblikk av panikk, tar hun feil vei, og hun beveger seg dypere og dypere inn i skogen. For å trøste seg, stiller hun lommeradioen inn på Red Soxs baseballkamp, og hun innbiller seg at favorittspilleren hennes, Tom Gordon, er sammen med henne. Når natten faller på, begynner Trisha å tvile på at hun vil bli funnet. Mens hun kjemper for å overleve, skjønner hun at hun ikke er alene.
Omtale fra forlaget
Trisha has only veered off the trail to get away from the bickering of her brother and recently divorced mother. She doesn` t think there` s any chance of getting lost.
Except in her panic to get back on the path, Trisha takes a turning that leads into the tangled undergrowth. Deeper and deeper in the terrifying woods. At first it` s just the bugs, midges and mosquitoes. Then the hunger. For solace she tunes her Walkman into broadcasts of the Red Sox baseball games and the performances of her hero Tom Gorden. And when the reception begins to fade, Trisha imagines that Tom Gorden is with her.
AS darkness begins to fall, Trisha begins to give up hope of being found. Alive. And as she struggles for survival and a way out, she realises that she is not alone. There ` s something else in the woods . watching. Waiting..

Piken som elsket Tom Gordon er den første boken jeg har lest av Stephen King. Dette er kanskje ikke den mest kjente boken hans men likevel slår den ifra seg. Det handler om 9 år gamle Trisha som er ganske stor for alderen. Hun er lei av broren og morens krangling så hun velger å gå bort en stund mens de er på tur. Dette skulle vise seg å bli skjebnesvangert. Trisha går seg vekk å må gjennom mange prøvelser på veien ut fra den store skogen. Denne boken er å anbefale for folk som ikke er så lettskremte. Du kan få en litt klaustrofobisk følelse. Piken som elsket Tom Gordon får meg til å ville lese mere Stephen King. Han har et fint språk som kan gjøre boka mer spennende på steder hvor det går litt trått.

Var det mulig å bli gal av å være i en familie som bestandig kranglet?
Let it eat her; let it beat her. It could do both. But she would not beat herself.
Prøver meg på Popsugar 2017 Reading Challenge. Selv om det er noen punkter jeg kommer til å ha vanskeligheter med å finne bøker i. Legger inn bøker etterhvert som jeg finner dem:)
