'Northern Borders' tells the story of ten year-old Austen Kittredge who is sent by his father to live on his grandparents' Vermont farm, where he experiences wild adventures and uncovers long-festering family secrets. It's 1956 and Austen experiences the farm as a place full of eccentric people, especially his stubborn grandparents whose thorny marriage is known as the Forty Years War. Initially feeling stuck in this fractured household, young Austen plans a quick exit but ends up stranded with no choice but to navigate and endure. A humorous and sometimes startling coming-of-age-story, 'Northern Borders' evokes Vermont's wildness, its sublime beauty, a haunted past, and an aura of enchantment. 　　译文(2): 《北部边界》讲述了十岁的奥斯汀 · 基特里奇的故事，他被父亲送到祖父母在佛蒙特州的农场生活，在那里他经历了疯狂的冒险，发现了长期溃烂的家庭秘密。那是1956年，奥斯汀在农场经历了一个充满古怪的人的地方，特别是他顽固的祖父母，他们棘手的婚姻被称为四十年战争。最初感觉被困在这个破碎的家庭，年轻的奥斯汀计划快速退出，但最终搁浅，别无选择，只能导航和忍受。《北部边界》是一个幽默而有时令人吃惊的成长故事，它唤起了佛蒙特州的荒野，它的庄严美丽，一个闹鬼的过去，和一个魔法的光环。
