Najlepšia tínedžerská kniha roka 2018! Ako by vyzeral tvoj život, keby si jedného dňa odišla z domu na druhý koniec sveta len s mobilom vo vrecku? Marin to urobila. V deň, keď sa utopil jej starý otec, ktorý ju vychovával, sa otočila San Franciscu chrbtom. Odletela na univerzitu do New Yorku a s nikým z rodného mesta viac neprehovorila. Zo strachu? Z hanby? Alebo utiekla pred smútkom? Blížia sa však zimné prázdniny, a hoci sa Marin rozhodla stráviť Vianoce vo vyľudnenom internáte, musí ešte pretrpieť trojdňovú návštevu bývalej najlepšej kamarátky Mabel. Za tie mesiace jej neodpovedala na stovky esemesiek ani desiatky telefonátov. Čakajú ju tri dni plné spomínania na svoje staré ja. Tri dni prežívania toho posledného leta na Západnom pobreží. Tri dni osamote v snehovej víchrici, kde sa nedá pred otázkami ani pravdou ujsť.

"With a good friend like Loonie the yellow balloon, anything is possible. From neighborhood walks to reading aloud in bed to dance parties in your room, Loonie makes each activity a little brighter, a little fuller of sunshine. But as one child discovers with sadness, when it's time for Loonie to float away home, the sunshine goes, too. It's not as fun to have a dance party alone. And while tending to the garden helps a little bit, the world outside the window is silent and gray. Until, one day, as flowers start to push up from the soil, big and full of hope, the memory of Loonie begins to emerge in unexpected places. With tender empathy, and charming and whimsical art by Ashling Lindsay, Printz Award winner Nina LaCour illuminates the childhood companions that bring a little magic to the world"--Publisher's description.
