"Nielsen writes with sensitivity, empathy, and humor." --Kirkus Reviews, Starred
"Nielsen excels at depicting troubled, clever teenagers in familiar environments." --School Library Journal, Starred "Grief and guilt permeate Nielsen's (We Are All Made of Molecules) empathic and deeply moving story, balanced by sharply funny narration and dialogue." --Publishers Weekly, Starred "The dialogue is effortless, the plot moves at a fast pace, and the scenes come alive. . . . a poignant exploration into the nuances of healing." --Quill and Quire, Starred"Heartbreaking and hopeful, this is a solid choice for readers looking for a book to make them cry and laugh at the same time." --Booklist "Susin Nielsen once more brings readers a story that is infused with light-hearted humour, even as it touches on numerous weighty issues." --Canadian Children's Book News "Here, as in Nielsen's previous award-winning novels, her use of first-person narration is compellingly believable. The short chapters sprint by with sitcom pacing and snappy dialogue . . . This novel is about how good people can make mistakes and then learn to accept them." --Vancouver Sun
Reseña del editor
Award-winning author Susin Nielsen has written a laugh-out-loud and heartrending novel for fans of Robyn Schneider’s Extraordinary Means and Cammie McGovern’s Say What You Will.
Beware: Life ahead.
Sixteen-year-old Petula de Wilde is anything but wild. A former crafting fiend with a happy life, Petula shut herself off from the world after a family tragedy. She sees danger in all the ordinary things, like crossing the street, a bug bite, or a germy handshake. She knows: life is out to get you.
The worst part of her week is her comically lame mandatory art therapy class with a small group of fellow misfits. Then a new boy, Jacob, appears at school and in her therapy group. He seems so normal and confident, though he has a prosthetic arm; and soon he teams up with Petula on a hilarious project, gradually inspiring her to let go of some of her fears. But as the two grow closer, a hidden truth behind why he’s in the group threatens to derail them, unless Petula takes a huge risk. . .
