Jennifer A. Nielsen5.0 From New York Times bestselling author Jennifer A. Nielsen comes a stunning thriller about a girl who must escape to freedom after the Berlin Wall divides her family between east and west.
With the rise of the Berlin Wall, twelve-year-old Gerta finds her family divided overnight. She, her mother, and her brother Fritz live on the eastern side, controlled by the Soviets. Her father and middle brother, who had gone west in search of work, cannot return home. Gerta knows it is dangerous to watch the wall, to think forbidden thoughts of freedom, yet she can't help herself. She sees the East German soldiers with their guns trained on their own citizens; she, her family, her neighbors and friends are prisoners in their own city.
But one day, while on her way to school, Gerta spots her father on a viewing platform on the western side, pantomiming a peculiar dance. Then, when she receives a mysterious drawing, Gerta puts two and two together and concludes that her father wants Gerta and Fritz to tunnel beneath the wall, out of East Berlin. However, if they are caught, the consequences will be deadly. No one can be trusted. Will Gerta and her family find their way to freedom?
Школа и новые друзья — это всегда непросто. Еще сложнее в школе, когда тебе приходится носить гигантский слуховой аппарат. Чтобы это пережить, требуется настоящая суперсила.
«Супергерои, возможно, очень крутые — но они другие, они отличаются ото всех. А когда ты другой, ты одинок». Как Бэтмен после подвигов возвращается в свою «бэтпещеру», Сиси чувствует, что живет в «сфере одиночества». Но в конце концов она приходит к другой мысли: «Наши отличия — это и есть наши суперспособности».
В этом смешном и трогательном графическом романе автор и иллюстратор Сиси Белл рассказывает свою непростую историю взросления — от потери слуха, первого слухового аппарата и первого похода в спецшколу до обретения настоящих друзей и первой любви.
Less than 48 hours after twelve-year-old Chris casts off on a trip to sail down the Alaskan coast with his uncle, their boat sinks. The only survivors are Chris and a boy named Frank, who hates Chris immediately. Chris and Frank have no radio, no flares, no food. Suddenly, they've got to find a way to forage, fish and scavenge supplies from the shore. Chris likes the company of a curious friendly raven more than he likes the prickly Frank. But the boys have to get along if they want to survive.
Because as the days get colder, and the salmon migration ends, survival will take more than sheer force of will. There in the wilderness of Kodiak, they discover a bond they didn't expect, and through it, the compassion and teamwork that might truly be the path to rescue.
