Produktbeschreibung

An award-winning Israeli author's novel "is a cross between Run Lola Run and Oliver Twist... [with] an urgency that becomes almost unbearable" ( New Yorker). David Grossman's Someone to Run With tells the story of a lost dog, and the discovery of first love on the streets of Jerusalem, portrayed here with a gritty realism that is as fresh as it is compelling. When awkward and painfully shy sixteen-year-old Assaf is asked to find the owner of a stray yellow lab, he begins a quest that will bring him into contact with street kids and criminals, and a talented young singer, Tamar, engaged on her own mission: to rescue a teenage drug addict. A runaway bestseller in Israel, in the words of the Christian Science Monitor: "It's time for Americans to fall in love with Someone to Run With." "Part urban survival adventure, part YA romance, and part mystery." - Booklist "Grossman's most entertaining book yet." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Rezensionen

'Brings together the differing aspects of his writing in a book that unites social realism and dizzy teenage romance ... This is a book about feelings, about highs and lows, chemical, emotional, religious' Daily Telegraph
