Rainbow Rowell Eleanor & Park Novels & Stories

This morning. I am in the hills. It is early autumn and the light is doing the thing it does in early autumn here, low and sideways and more beautiful for the angle of it. The stone wall is cold under my palm. The hills are the hills. Behind me: Silas in the library reading something he has been meaning to read all summer. Eleanor at her desk in the room that is always hers when she is here, working on a design for a flood-resilient school in a coastal town that came to the centre through the infrastructure authority's new community referral programme.

I look at him and hug him, kissing him on the lips. “Yes, he is a dragon, and we are going to see his people. As for how well Eleanor can explain.” I take his hand and pull him to follow. The dragon man named Rowan waits for us as we move closer. He turns and carries on walking. Eleanor is walking with him, chatting away like she has known him her whole life.

Raven finally muttered, trying her best to maintain a stern look "You've changed," Eleanor said."thirty days ago, you were someone else. But now, I see you for who you are. I'm proud of you Rave." After that, Raven tried to make pasta with Eleanor. She had found Mrs.Potts recipe book when she went to her room, that was all she had left of her. The pasta came out okay but not as perfect as Mrs. Potts's . Later that evening, the two girls went for a walk outside.

Yep. You see, Eleanor is a big fan of books. She's the type to ditch parties and social gatherings just to continue reading favorite novel. And when you're reading a good book, you need a good place to match the mood. Their school isn't that big so she found this place and immediately marked it as her territory, well not really as hers because the place is still the government's property. Yuan on the other hand ditched his class that time and is currently running away from his teacher when he saw the way to the garden.

Deeply, intimately personal. "You're an ugly sight," Rowena spits, her eyes raking over Eleanor from head to toe with obvious disgust, but her glee cannot be hidden. "Have you gotten so weak that this is what you have turned into?” she gives a laugh full of schadenfreude, “You really think you can stop me? With this pathetic appearance?" Eleanor doesn't respond to the taunts. Instead, she simply starts walking forward, her steps measured and deliberate. And as she moves, something impossible begins to happen.

All the lights in the house switches off. A_few_minutes_later..... The door opens and Eleanor steps in, she gasp when she sees it's dark everywhere! "Why is it so dark here?" She questions herself. Then, the lights suddenly turns on. "Wow!" She awed with a smile as she looks around. "Beautiful" she said. "It's just like a fairy tale paradise!" It's shining and sparkling everywhere... cool country music plays in the background. "Eleanor!" She hears her name and turn. She sees Micah kneeling, holding out a box... He opens it and there's a ring.

Every little thing about her is mine and mine only. "El!" I heard little kids' voices, shouting in unison. As I snapped out of my thoughts, I saw a group of them running towards us. And, I couldn't miss the smile on Eleanor's face as I turned sideways, seeing her crouch down for the kids and holding her arms open for them to run into it. Which they did as them and Eleanor had a big group hug. "Hi." I glanced down at my feet as a small girl gripped my pants as she greeted me in a small voice.

Adrian exclaimed, his voice filled with pure excitement. Grace covered her mouth in awe. "Oh my God, Eleanor, you did it!" Eleanor giggled, her tiny legs moving uncertainly before she tumbled into Adrian’s waiting arms. Adrian held her up proudly. "That’s my girl!" Grace wiped a happy tear from her eye. "She’s growing up so fast." Adrian nodded, his heart full. "Too fast." He kissed Eleanor’s forehead. "But no matter how big she gets, she’ll always be my little princess."

Julian's team is scattered around the perimeter—a man with a dog, pretending to read a book; a woman on a bench, her face hidden behind sunglasses; a jogger who loops the same path again and again, never tired. Nathaniel sets Eleanor on the grass. She toddles toward a group of children playing with a ball. Her steps are unsteady, her arms outstretched for balance. She falls. She gets up. She laughs. The sound drifts across the park, carried by the wind. He watches her. His face is soft, the tension gone from his jaw. For a moment, he looks like the man I fell in love with, before the mansion, before Patricia, before everything.

cu said, lifting the book. “A guard talking about our God...” I cut him off before he could finish the word “That! A book about our favorite character,” I said hurriedly. I gave him a pointed look. “Maybe when we’re done out west, I can go to Name to look for this lady Eleanor.” “Eleanor?” He looked at me. “Yes, her name is Eleanor.” Wendell interrupted. “Eleanor Winchester, moved to Name a few years ago and became the guardian of the book.”
