Čo je nezvyčajné na tom, keď dievča už od trinástich rokov posiela listy slávnemu rockerovi? Nič, pokiaľ si, celkom oprávnene, nemyslí, že je jeho dcéra. Taliah Abdallatová po troch rokoch už prestala veriť, že sa s Julianom Oliverom, frontmanom kapely Staring Into the Abyss, niekedy stretne. Viete si teda predstaviť to prekvapenie, keď sa z ničoho nič zjaví na jej prahu! Julian dcéru požiada, aby s ním na pár dní odcestovala do jeho rodného mesta Oak Falls v Indiane. Má sa tam zoznámiť so starým otcom, ktorý pravdepodobne už nebude dlho žiť. Hoci Taliah nechce zradiť maminu dôveru, túži spoznať členov svojej stratenej rodiny a získať odpovede na otázky, ktoré ju už dlho trápia. S najlepšou kamoškou Harlow nasadnú do Julianovho čierneho mustanga a vydávajú sa na cestu. Taliah počas nej spoznáva svojho „nového“ otca a zisťuje, že je celkom iný, ako si ho predstavovala. Keď však začne odhaľovať aj mamine tajomstvá, odrazu je toho na ňu priveľa.

A gorgeously written, hopeful middle grade novel in verse about a young girl who must leave Syria to move to the United States, perfect for fans of Jason Reynolds and Aisha Saeed. Jude never thought she’d be leaving her beloved older brother and father behind, all the way across the ocean in Syria. But when things in her hometown start becoming volatile, Jude and her mother are sent to live in Cincinnati with relatives. At first, everything in America seems too fast and too loud. The American movies that Jude has always loved haven’t quite prepared her for starting school in the US—and her new label of “Middle Eastern,” an identity she’s never known before. But this life also brings unexpected surprises—there are new friends, a whole new family, and a school musical that Jude might just try out for. Maybe America, too, is a place where Jude can be seen as she really is. This lyrical, life-affirming story is about losing and finding home and, most importantly, finding yourself.

But once she discovers a website with a section called Suicide Partners, Aysel’s convinced she’s found her solution—Roman, a teenage boy who’s haunted by a family tragedy, is looking for a partner. Even though Aysel and Roman have nothing in common, they slowly start to fill in each other’s broken lives. But as their suicide pact becomes more concrete, Aysel begins to question whether she really wants to go through with it.
