Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I remember reading The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon at her age, and that felt like my intro to more dark subjects. Maybe I'll get her that.
  • The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, by Stephen King
  • Almost anything by Stephen King but especially Colorado Kid, From a Buick 8, Dolores Claiborne and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
  • Some King is lighter on stark horror and it's more emotional depth. Like Tom Gordon, Duma Key, Green Mile.
  • The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. Good & short & about a young girl.

Cons

  • Eh, I love TGWLTG but it definitely leans toward the supernatural aspect even if it leaves it ambiguous, so idk if OP would vibe with it.

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by Stephen King - it's not crazy long, the story is about a child who gets lost I'm the woods and she thinks about her favorite athlete, Tom Gordon to ease her mind.

It’s about a small child who gets lost in the woods on a family hike, and from what I remember there is no explicit content!
