Nine-year-old Trisha McFarland strays from the path while she and her recently divorced mother and brother take a hike along a branch of the Appalachian Trail. Lost for days, wandering farther and farther astray, Trisha has only her portable radio for comfort. A huge fan of Tom Gordon, a Boston Red Sox relief pitcher, she listens to baseball games and fantasizes that her hero will save her. Nature isn't her only adversary, though - something dangerous may be tracking Trisha through the dark woods. ([source][1])

Raamatut pole eesti keelde tõlgitud. Stiililt on tegu psühholoogilise õudusromaaniga - aga nagu Kingiga ikka, siis on siin raamatus mitmeid hoovuseid. On see siis raamat lapse elust, õudukas, teekonnalugu, matkaraamat või ellujäämisõpik - kõik on õiged variandid.

"The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" suhtes olid mul pikka aega tugevad eelarvamused.

Kui natuke ette rutata, siis oli mõnus raamat, natuke tasub pesapalliga seoses netti lapata, aga ega King ise annab ise jooksvalt tausta ka.

Kui natuke sisusse kalduda, siis peategelaseks on üheksa-aastane tüdruk Trisha McFarland, raamat ongi tema vaatenurgast. Veel on taustal kõrvaltegelasteks McFarlandide pere: Trisha neljateist-aastane vend Pete, ema Quilla ja isa Larry. Trisha ema ja isa on lahutatud, lapsed elavadki emaga koos. Kuna …

My favourite book by Stephen King, not like any other book by him that I have read. A book of a young girl trying to survive after walking off the path in the woods and then being stalked by something. It becomes a story of trying to beat the odds and find her way back to civilisation. For a King novel it is pretty short and ya can get through it in a day easily.
