Zeig uns, wer du bist

Addie weiß genau, wer sie ist. Sie weiß, dass ihr Lieblingsbuch das Synonymlexikon ist, dass Haie cooler sind, als alle denken, und sie weiß, dass sie die Welt oft intensiver als andere Menschen wahrnimmt. Ob Licht, Geräusche oder Gefühle, Addie wird schnell alles zu viel. Dann fühlt es sich an, als würden unsichtbare Funken um ihren Körper kreisen. Als Addie in der Schule von der Hexenverfolgung in ihrem Heimatort Juniper erfährt, kann sie die Ungerechtigkeit kaum glauben. Vor Hunderten von Jahren wurden Mädchen fälschlicherweise als Hexen verurteilt, und das nur, weil sie anders waren als die anderen. Genau wie Addie. Doch Addie weiß, dass mehr hinter den Mädchen steckt, als in den Geschichtsbüchern steht. Sie fordert, ein Denkmal für sie zu errichten. Die Menschen in Juniper sind alles andere als begeistert, doch Addie ist fest entschlossen, zu kämpfen. Für die Mädchen von damals und für sich selbst.

Perfect for readers of Song for a Whale and Counting by 7s, a neurodivergent girl campaigns for a memorial when she learns that her small Scottish town used to burn witches simply because they were different. "A must-read for students and adults alike." -School Library Journal, Starred Review Ever since Ms. Murphy told us about the witch trials that happened centuries ago right here in Juniper, I can't stop thinking about them. Those people weren't magic. They were like me. Different like me. I'm autistic. I see things that others do not. I hear sounds that they can ignore. And sometimes I feel things all at once. I think about the witches, with no one to speak for them. Not everyone in our small town understands. But if I keep trying, maybe someone will. I won't let the witches be forgotten. Because there is more to their story. Just like there is more to mine. Award-winning and neurodivergent author Elle McNicoll delivers an insightful and stirring debut about the European witch trials and a girl who refuses to relent in the fight for what she knows is right.

Dopo un anno e mezzo al college, Jasper sta tornando a casa, a Lake Pristine, ma solo per dire alla sua famiglia che lascerà gli studi di psicologia per seguire la sua vera passione: il design. Al suo arrivo in città, distratta dalla folla radunata in centro, va a sbattere con l'auto, rovinando platealmente la proposta di matrimonio di sua sorella Christine. Tra la folla, purtroppo, c'è anche Arthur, l'unico ragazzo con il quale Jasper non è mai riuscita ad andare d'accordo. Arthur gestisce il cinema di famiglia e con suo cugino sta girando un documentario su Lake Pristine. Nulla sfuggirà alla videocamera: i preparativi per il matrimonio di Christine, le audizioni e le prove per lo spettacolo di Natale, le piccole storie quotidiane e tutti i segreti di Lake Pristine. Ma soprattutto, la verità che si nasconde dietro a certi sguardi, capaci di sciogliere anche il cuore più freddo...
