Wendy Wunder

Cameron a 17 ans. Atteinte d’un cancer, elle est persuadée qu’elle va mourir avant ses 18 ans. Déterminée à la sauver, sa mère l’embarque dans un road-trip en direction de Promise, une ville magique réputée pour ses miracles. Résignée, Cameron ne croit pas plus à une possible rémission qu’aux superstitions ridicules de sa mère, mais se laisse tout de même entraîner dans cette aventure. Arrivées à destination, elles sont vite témoins d’événements inhabituels : les pissenlits deviennent pourpres, on aperçoit des flamants roses au large de l’Atlantique et Cameron retrouve une mystérieuse enveloppe contenant une liste de choses à faire avant de mourir… Aidée d’Asher, un garçon non moins mystérieux, Cam exécute peu à peu chaque point de la liste et apprend à croire en elle, en l’amour, et même… aux miracles.

A "sharp, hilarious, heartfelt" (#1 New York Times bestselling author Nicola Yoon) coming-of-age tale about a girl who believes she's God from award-winning author Wendy Wunder. Seventeen-year-old Maya knows things. When she looks at someone, she instantly knows everything about them: their history, their private thoughts, their secret desires, their most tragic failures. She walks around with the weight of the world on her shoulders. Which is why she was sent to the Whispering Pines Psychiatric Facility, and also why starting at a new school is going to be such a challenge. Especially when Maya meets a guy she actually wants to be around, and must grapple with whether there’s such a thing as knowing too much.

Loyalty. Envy. Obligation. Dreams. Disappointment. Fear. Negligence. Coping. Elation. Lust. Nature. Freedom. Heartbreak. Insouciance. Audacity. Gluttony. Belief. God. Karma. Knowing what you want (there is probably a French word for it). Saying Yes. Destiny. Truth. Devotion. Forgiveness. Life. Happiness (ever after). Hannah and Zoe haven’t had much in their lives, but they’ve always had each other. So when Zoe tells Hannah she needs to get out of their down-and-out New Jersey town, they pile into Hannah’s beat-up old Le Mans and head west, putting everything—their deadbeat parents, their disappointing love lives, their inevitable enrollment at community college—behind them. As they chase storms and make new friends, Zoe tells Hannah she wants more for her. She wants her to live bigger, dream grander, aim higher. And so Zoe begins teaching Hannah all about life’s intangible things, concepts sadly missing from her existence—things like audacity, insouciance, karma, and even happiness. An unforgettable read from the acclaimed author of The Probability of Miracles, The Museum of Intangible Things sparkles with the humor and heartbreak of true friendship and first love.
