Produktbeschreibung

What if you could have it all? If all you had to do is tell one little lie? What if that lie could be the death of you? In The Very Thing by Jen Winans, Stella has some life-altering choices to make that may indeed put her life at risk and destroy the relationships she's built.

My world was pretty small. I had me, my peanut and egg allergy, my books, and my best friend, Izzy. But Izzy has decided that sitting with me at the "nut-free" table may have harmed her ability to be popular. Kids have always been cruel, but without Izzy by my side, it feels pretty bleak.

My world changed when I was given the opportunity to not be the "girl with the allergies." All of the sudden people got to know me for me. I got to help some amazing rescue dogs and make new friends but I had no idea how telling my little lie could cause such a disaster.

The Very Thing takes you back to the rollercoaster ride of high school, where every moment feels like the end of the world-or the start of something unforgettable. This heartfelt coming-of-age tale will tug at your emotions, from tears to belly laughs, leaving you reliving the highs, lows, and the in-between of growing up.

Jen Winans' debut novel addresses a number of young adult issues of today and effectively weaves in constructive guidance for her readers that they can apply to challenges in their own lives. It was a fast and entertaining read with fun, engaging and complex characters and a compelling story. ~Victoria L

I couldn't put this book down. The book captures the ups and downs of the teenage years while also navigating a severe allergy. I feel that any age can resonate with this book and learn to empathize with the struggles that others possess. I can't wait for her next book. ~ Tiffany E
