Sarah Crossan Knihy

Bea, Alina a Quinn jsou na útěku. Odstartovali povstání a byli nuceni odejít z kapsule, jediného místa, kde je dostatek kyslíku. Bea přišla o rodinu, Alina ztratila domov a Quinn výsadní postavení. Podaří se jim přežít v nebezpečné Divočině? Mohou dokončit revoluci, již začali? V patách jim je mladý voják ze Speciálních jednotek a jejich jedinou šancí je zůstat pohromadě, přestože je okolností nutí se rozdělit. Budoucnost lidstva je v ohrožení a tito čtyři mladí lidé se musí rozhodnout, kde leží jejich loajalita.

Nic pro nás není tak přirozené jako dýchání. Představte si ale svět, ve kterém si jen privilegovaní mohou koupit dostatek kyslíku k tomu, aby mohli tančit či si zahrát obyčejný fotbal. Svět, kde chudí jen stěží zaplatí účet za vzduch nezbytný k životu. Svět, v němž po netušené katastrofě přežívá zbytek obyvatel v hermeticky uzavřených městech s vlastní atmosférou. Pustou planetu Zemi, kde nejvzácnějším rostlinným druhem je obyčejný strom. Právě v takovém světě žije Alina, Bea, Quinn a jejich přátelé. Od ostatních mladých lidí se liší svou přemýšlivostí a odvahou něco ve svém okolí změnit. Odvahou nadechnout se jinak než druzí – svobodně. Dystopický román mladé irsko-americké autorky plný dobrodružství, při němž se doslova tají dech.

Winner of the Carnegie Medal * Winner of the YA Book Prize * Winner of the Children's Books Ireland Book of the Year Award Tippi and Grace share everything--clothes, friends . . . even their body. Writing in free verse, Sarah Crossan tells the sensitive and moving story of conjoined twin sisters, which will find fans in readers of Gayle Forman, Jodi Picoult, and Jandy Nelson. Tippi and Grace. Grace and Tippi. For them, it's normal to step into the same skirt. To hook their arms around each other for balance. To fall asleep listening to the other breathing. To share. And to keep some things private. Each of the sixteen-year-old girls has her own head, heart, and two arms, but at the belly, they join. And they are happy, never wanting to risk the dangerous separation surgery. But the girls' body is beginning to fight against them. And Grace doesn't want to admit it. Not even to Tippi. How long can they hide from the truth--how long before they must face the most impossible choice of their lives? Carnegie Medal-winning author Sarah Crossan gives us a story about unbreakable bonds, hope, loss, and the lengths we will go to for the person we love most.
