Summary
A major motion picture adaptation by Studio Ghibli, creators of SPIRITED AWAY and ARRIETTY. Anna hasn’t a friend in the world – until she meets Marnie among the sand dunes. But Marnie isn’t all she seems… Sent away from her foster home one long, hot summer to a sleepy Norfolk village by the sea, Anna dreams her days away among the sandhills and marshes. She never expected to meet a friend like Marnie, someone who doesn’t judge Anna for being ordinary and not-even-trying. But no sooner has Anna learned the loveliness of friendship than Marnie vanishes… Robinson's best work yet, When Marnie Was There is a poignant exploration of emotions and feelings, set against the backdrop of a sleepy Norfolk village. This award-winning, top-rated juvenile fiction is a must-read for anyone seeking a story of self-esteem, friendship, and the mysteries of the human heart. For fans of Stephen Davies (Blood & Ink), Luke Pearson (Hilda and the Mountain King), Eiko Kadono (Kiki's Delivery Service), Olivia Snowe (The Glass Voice), and Penelope Farmer (Charlotte Sometimes).
