Louder Than Hunger

Schu, John
Englisch | Taschenbuch

A Schneider Family Book Award Honor Book<BR><BR>“This heart-wrenching verse novel—inspired by the author’s experiences . . . is an unflinching depiction of resistance and disordered eating recovery.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)<BR><BR>Jake volunteers at a nursing home because he likes helping people. He likes skating and singing, playing Bingo and Name That Tune, and reading mysteries and comics aloud to his teachers. He also likes avoiding people his own age . . . and the cruelty of mirrors . . . and food. Jake has read about kids like him in books—the weird one, the outsider—and would do anything not to be that kid, including shrink himself down to nothing. But the less he eats, the bigger he feels. How long can Jake punish himself before he truly disappears? A fictionalized account of the author’s experiences and emotions living in residential treatment facilities as a young teen with an eating disorder, Louder Than Hunger is a triumph of raw honesty. With a deeply personal afterword for context, this verse novel is a powerful model for muffling the destructive voices inside, managing and articulating pain, and embracing self-acceptance, support, and love.

Schu, John
A powerful, authentic verse novel exploring a teen boy's experience with disordered eating, charting the successes and setbacks of his journey toward recovery.<BR>Jake feels alone at school and alone at home. Some days it feels like the only people who understand him is the poet Emily Dickinson - and Jake's beloved grandma. But there is also the Voice inside him, louder than any other, who professes to know him best of all.<BR><BR>The one that says "You have me."<BR><BR>The Voice is loud enough to drown out everything else, even the hunger Jake feels, until his mom intervenes and sends him to Whispering Pines.<BR><BR>Here Jake will learn how to confront the loneliness inside him, and find out who he is and what he has to live for. That is, if he can quiet the Voice...<BR><BR>Told in succinct and powerful verse, this novel is a stunning and wholly authentic expression of a young man finding the will - and the power - to wrest control from the intrusive thoughts that crowd his mind.

Krass, herzzerreißend, heilsam: Der Kampf eines Jungen gegen die Magersucht. Basierend auf der wahren Geschichte des Autors. Ab 12 JahrenDa ist eine Stimme in Jakes Kopf,die sagt: DU BRAUCHST NUR MICH.Doch eine andere Stimme tief in ihm sagt:Du brauchst Hilfe, Jake.Sonst stirbst du.Jake wird in der Schule gemobbt, und von seinen Eltern fühlt er sich nicht verstanden. Er möchte am liebsten verschwinden. Deshalb kippt er das Essen heimlich in den Müll und treibt so viel Sport wie möglich. Als man ihn in eine Klinik für Essstörungen bringt, meldet sich die Stimme lauter als je zuvor. Sie sagt: Vertraue niemandem! Sie sagt: Keiner liebt dich! Sie sagt: Du hast nur mich.Wird Jake es schaffen, sich der Stimme in seinem Inneren zu widersetzen? Der Autor litt als Teenager unter einer lebensgefährlichen Essstörung. Für Jakes Geschichte hat er kraftvolle Worte gefunden, die in kunstvoller Gestaltung über die Seiten tanzen, fallen, wieder aufsteigen, Raum einnehmen oder fast verschwinden. Es ist diese besondere Form, die dem Inhalt seine ganze Wucht verleiht. - Ein Buch für Jugendliche und Erwachsene, das mitreißt, berührt und einen so schnell nicht wieder loslässt.
