À propos de cet audio

Only Child triumphs. Zach, at only 6 years old, understands more about the human heart than the broken adults around him. His hope and optimism as he sets out to execute his plan will have every reader cheering him on, and believing in happy endings even in the face of such tragedy. . . . Navin manages to make Zach’s voice heartbreakingly believable.”—Ann Hood, The Washington Post

“Perfect for fans of Room… a heartbreaking but important novel.” —Real Simple


Readers of Jodi Picoult and Liane Moriarty will also like this tenderhearted debut about healing and family, narrated by an unforgettable six-year-old boy who reminds us that sometimes the littlest bodies hold the biggest hearts and the quietest voices speak the loudest.

Squeezed into a coat closet with his classmates and teacher, first grader Zach Taylor can hear gunshots ringing through the halls of his school. A gunman has entered the building, taking nineteen lives and irrevocably changing the very fabric of this close-knit community. While Zach's mother pursues a quest for justice against the shooter's parents, holding them responsible for their son's actions, Zach retreats into his super-secret hideout and loses himself in a world of books and art. Armed with his newfound understanding, and with the optimism and stubbornness only a child could have, Zach sets out on a captivating journey towards healing and forgiveness, determined to help the adults in his life rediscover the universal truths of love and compassion needed to pull them through their darkest hours.

Good story, great narrating. Do t listen when driving as it made me tear up many times. Hearing a child's voice recounting a school shooting was very emotional.

This is not the kind of book that generally interests me, but I found the child's perspective compelling and believable. The narration is clear and crisp. The devastation at the senseless killing of school school aged child among members of a family is realistic., complete with the break up of parents, who in their grief, struggle to communicate. The religious prespective that comforts the child was somewhat off-putting to myself , as is the lack of social and political context for school shootings. That is why I give it 3 stars. The family's final act of forgiveness of the shooter's father is a first step toward resolution, but left me somewhat disappointed. An easy read and realistic look at PTSD, but somewhat unsatisfying without a look at what leads to these mass tragedies.

A straightforward look at grief
