Sam ist elf und hat Leukämie. So erschüttert seine Umwelt reagiert, so tapfer geht Sam damit um. Er nutzt die verbleibende Zeit und schreibt wild entschlossen ein Tagebuch über die Fragen, die er noch hat: zu Ufos, Horrorfilmen und Mädchen - aber vor allem die Fragen, die ihm keiner beantwortet: "Wieso lässt Gott Kinder krank werden? Tut Sterben weh?" Nicht nur seine Erkenntnisse, sondern auch seine Wünsche hält er in zahlreichen Listen fest, zum Beispiel: in einem Luftschiff fahren, einen Weltrekord aufstellen und Teenager sein - das heißt für Sam: rauchen, trinken, eine Freundin haben. Mit seinem Freund Felix gelingt es ihm sogar, diese Liste auf höchst originelle Weise abzuarbeiten. Ermutigendes Bestseller-Debüt einer 23-Jährigen aus England zu einem wichtigen Thema!

Shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal 2019, National Book Award, Books Are My Bag Readers'' Awards and the YA Book Prize Includes an exclusive preview of The Silent Stars Go By by Sally Nicholls Through rallies and marches, in polite drawing rooms and freezing prison cells and the poverty-stricken slums of the East End, three courageous young women join the fight for the vote. Evelyn is seventeen, and though she is rich and clever, she may never be allowed to follow her older brother to university. Enraged that she is expected to marry her childhood sweetheart rather than be educated, she joins the Suffragettes, and vows to pay the ultimate price for women''s freedom. May is fifteen, and already sworn to the cause, though she and her fellow Suffragists refuse violence. When she meets Nell, a girl who''s grown up in hardship, she sees a kindred spirit. Together and in love, the two girls start to dream of a world where all kinds of women have their place. But the fight for freedom will challenge Evelyn, May and Nell more than they ever could believe. As war looms, just how much are they willing to sacrifice?

Perdida de sua irmã, Molly vê um rapaz sendo caçado numa floresta. Aterrorizada, ela tenta ajudá-lo e sente compaixão. Voltando para a casa de seus avós, conta a todos o que ocorreu, mas quando procuram o homem ferido, não o encontram e atribuem a imagem à fértil imaginação da menina. No dia seguinte, numa velha igreja, Molly percebe, surpresa, que o rosto daquele misterioso rapaz está esculpido em uma coluna. Quem seria ele? No desenvolver da história, nos envolvemos com o misto entre mistério e magia que envolve aquela noite de perseguição, ao mesmo tempo em que nos sentimos comovidos pela triste histórias das irmãs, órfãs de mãe e levadas pelo pai para serem criadas pelos avós.

Ao mesmo tempo, o livro nos faz lembrar das fábulas de infância que tanto admirávamos e nos causa grande impacto, pelo fato de alguém tão jovem ter que lidar com algo tão complexo como a doença e a morte da mãe.
