このコンテンツについて
A new middle-grade tale from critically acclaimed, award-winning author Kristin Levine about facing your fears, set in Vienna during the Bosnian genocide.
Most 12-year-olds would be excited to fly to Austria to see their dad for the summer, but Becca is not most 12-year-olds. Suffering from severe anxiety, she fears that the metal detectors at the airport will give her cancer and the long international flight will leave her with blood clots. Luckily, she's packed her Doomsday Journal, the one thing that always seems to help. By writing down her fears and what to do if the worst happens, Becca can get by without (many) panic attacks.
Routines and plans help Becca cope, but living in a new country is full of the unexpected - including Becca's companions for the summer. Like Felix, the short and bookish son of Becca's dad's new girlfriend. Or Sara, the 19-year-old Bosnian refugee tasked with watching the two of them for the summer. As Becca explores Vienna and becomes close to her new friends, she soon learns she is not alone in her fears. What matters most is what you do when faced with them.
©2021 Kristin Levine (P)2021 Listening Library批評家のレビュー
“An engaging historical novel with an unusual, vividly realized setting.... A moving resolution.” (Booklist)
“In this thoughtful novel populated with well-developed characters, Levine slowly and realistically reveals Becca’s growth.... An important story about anxiety, change, and courage.” (Kirkus Reviews)
“Becca is an engaging and sympathetic narrator, and Levine (The Jigsaw Jungle) writes her experience of anxiety with nuance and sensitivity. The past is never forgotten in Vienna, and Levine threads the city’s history into this novel...while Sara’s recollections of the Bosnian War are heartrendingly effective.” (Publisher’s Weekly)
