Saint Anything

Sarah Dessen
Comment pardonner l'impardonnable ?Le frère de Sydney, beau et charismatique, domine depuis toujours sa petite famille : Peyton monopolise toute l'attention de leurs parents et se taille la part du lion quel que soit le domaine. Mais quand il atterrit en prison après avoir provoqué un accident grave, la jeune fille, au lieu de retrouver un peu d'air, se sent au contraire de plus en plus invisible, comme si elle errait à la dérive dans sa propre vie, perdue, sans attaches. Elle s'inquiète surtout du désintérêt des siens pour la véritable victime, le garçon que Peyton a condamné à vivre dans un fauteuil roulant. Après avoir changé de lycée, elle se lie d'amitié avec un frère et une sœur dont elle ne tarde pas à rencontrer la famille. Excentriques et accueillants, blessés par la vie mais infiniment joyeux, les Chatham vont l'aider à se trouver une place dans son nouvel environnement. Rompre définitivement ou pardonner, forcer ses parents à la regarder en face au moins une fois, choisir son chemin et parvenir à s'avouer les sentiments qu'elle sent naître en elle... Autant de défis qu'ils vont l'aider à relever à leur manière. Un roman de Sarah Dessen n'est jamais, jamais une déception. La reine de la fiction young adult observe les mouvements du cœur d'une adolescente dans la tourmente avec une justesse stupéfiante – ce qui fait dire à tout le milieu littéraire aux États-Unis qu'elle est, ni plus ni moins, une rock star. Émotion à fleur de peau et regard acéré sur les choses : venez savourer en sa compagnie une gourmandise à nulle autre pareille...

Long Way Down

Ana Guadalupe, Jason Reynolds
A cannon. A strap. A piece. A biscuit. A burner. A heater. A chopper. A gat. A hammer A tool for RULEOr, you can call it a gun. That’s what fifteen-year-old Will has shoved in the back waistband of his jeans. See, his brother Shawn was just murdered. And Will knows the rules. No crying. No snitching. Revenge. That’s where Will’s now heading, with that gun shoved in the back waistband of his jeans, the gun that was his brother’s gun. He gets on the elevator, seventh floor, stoked. He knows who he’s after. Or does he? As the elevator stops on the sixth floor, on comes Buck. Buck, Will finds out, is who gave Shawn the gun before Will took the gun. Buck tells Will to check that the gun is even loaded. And that’s when Will sees that one bullet is missing. And the only one who could have fired Shawn’s gun was Shawn. Huh. Will didn’t know that Shawn had ever actually USED his gun. Bigger huh. BUCK IS DEAD. But Buck’s in the elevator? Just as Will’s trying to think this through, the door to the next floor opens. A teenage girl gets on, waves away the smoke from Dead Buck’s cigarette. Will doesn’t know her, but she knew him. Knew. When they were eight. And stray bullets had cut through the playground, and Will had tried to cover her, but she was hit anyway, and so what she wants to know, on that fifth floor elevator stop, is, what if Will, Will with the gun shoved in the back waistband of his jeans, MISSES.And so it goes, the whole long way down, as the elevator stops on each floor, and at each stop someone connected to his brother gets on to give Will a piece to a bigger story than the one he thinks he knows. A story that might never know an END…if WILL gets off that elevator.
