Ned Hayes is a voracious reader (and writer) from Olympia Washington.
My newest novel is THE EAGLE TREE, appearing from "Little A" in 2016.
I like to read a lot of different books, and my daily 1 minute podcast reviews has received some notice. I especially enjoy historical fiction like Philippa Gregory, Anita Diamant and Hilary Mantel, as well as supernatural historical fiction from Susanne Clarke and Tim Powers, along with the hilarious (and disturbing) works of Mark Henry. But I've also been known to read -- and teach -- literary fiction such as Annie Dillard, Jorge Borges and Michael Chabon.
I wrote the best-selling SINFUL FOLK, a novel set in the 14th century. The book cover for SINFUL FOLK and a series of lovely internal illustrations were created by the marvelous New York Times bestselling author/illustrator Nikki McClure. SINFUL FOLK was nominated for the "Pacific Northwest Booksellers Award," was a semi-finalist in the "Amazon Breakthrough Novel" contest, and has received numerous starred reviews from publications, including BookList.
I've also written other books -- you can find out about them at my bookish writing website -- Ned Note.com .
Fourteen-year-old March Wong knows everything there is to know about trees. They are his passion and his obsession, even after his recent falls—and despite the state’s threat to take him away from his mother if she can’t keep him from getting hurt. But the young autistic boy cannot resist the captivating pull of the Pacific Northwest’s lush forests just outside his back door.
One day, March is devastated to learn that the Eagle Tree—a monolithic Ponderosa Pine near his home in Olympia—is slated to be cut down by developers. Now, he will do anything in his power to save this beloved tree, including enlisting unlikely support from relatives, classmates, and even his bitter neighbor. In taking a stand, March will come face-to-face with some frightening possibilities: Even if he manages to save the Eagle Tree, is he risking himself and his mother to do it?
Intertwining themes of humanity and ecology, The Eagle Tree eloquently explores what it means to be part of a family, a society, and the natural world that surrounds and connects us.

每個人心裏都有一棵不斷成長、終將倒下的大樹。彆忘瞭那些在樹上的美好時光。 誠誠懇懇的閱讀完這本書,難得的外國文學中文筆之流暢,讀者閱讀起來能夠毫不費力。而這個故事,則是運用馬奇的角度——這個自閉癥兒童的視角來敘述他的故事。這也是獨特之處,每個人都有著自己的思...
評分首先吸引我的是書的封麵,一切都被包圍在綠意盎然之中,水彩綴著幾棵不同種類的樹,一位少年的身影站在樹下,綠得舒心,綠得靜謐,這便是全部瞭。 關於14歲的自閉癥少年馬奇成長過程經曆,也是一棵鷹樹的經曆,文章以第一人稱的形式嚮人們清晰地錶達瞭在不被理解的環境下的角度...

評分我也喜歡樹,就像我以為我真的懂馬奇的愛與孤獨。如果是在現實生活中,真的很希望馬奇能成為我的好朋友呀,畢竟我也很喜歡樹,但卻叫不齣每一棵樹的名字(攤手)。 我的窗外有一片楊樹林,其中最高的一棵,我對它印象最深刻。我看著它春天抽絮,長齣新葉,夏天變得濃綠...
評分有個孩子,他知道每一棵樹的秘密,它們真正的名字、屬性、生長情況,每一個部分的作用,可以想象木質部如何輸水,樹汁如何滲齣,原始森林與鮭魚如何相互關聯,形成係統,生死循環……可是人們看不到他絢爛多彩、博大豐富的內心世界,卻隻想糾正他不會“好好說話”、不懂保護自...

好像還是第一本完整看完的英文小說?當年在亞馬遜買電子書的時候它還沒被譯成中文版。要是倒數第二章不傳福音我就要推薦給我的學生瞭,還講瞭蠻多關於forests的知識而且也講得挺好的,也因此對自閉癥有瞭更多瞭解。最後一章有點兒drama.
