The Winners


WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO STAND TOGETHER? 'It's often said that winners write history, but there are no winners here' This is a small story about big questions. It's a story about family, community, life. It starts with a storm - and a death. But how does it end? Two years have passed since the events that no one wants to think about. Everyone has tried to move on, but there's something about this place that prevents it. The residents continue to grapple with life's big questions: What is a family? What is a community? And what, if anything, are we willing to sacrifice in order to protect them? As the locals of Beartown struggle to overcome the past, great change is on the horizon. Someone is coming home after a long time away. Someone will be laid to rest. Someone will fall in love, someone will try to fix their marriage, and someone will do anything to save their children. Someone will submit to hate, someone will fight, and someone will grab a gun and walk towards the ice rink. So what are the residents of Beartown willing to sacrifice for their home? Everything.

Boo


From Neil Smith, author of the award-winning, internationally acclaimed story collection Bang Crunch, comes a dark but whimsical debut novel about starting over in the afterlife in the vein of Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones. When Oliver 'Boo' Dalrymple wakes up in heaven, the eighth-grade science geek thinks he died of a heart defect at his school. But soon after arriving in this hereafter reserved for dead thirteen-year-olds, Boo discovers he's a 'gommer', a kid who was murdered. What's more, his killer may also be in heaven. With help from the volatile Johnny, a classmate killed at the same school, Boo sets out to track down the mysterious Gunboy who cut short both their lives. In a heartrending story written to his beloved parents, the odd but endearing Boo relates his astonishing heavenly adventures as he tests the limits of friendship, learns about forgiveness and, finally, makes peace with the boy he once was and the boy he can now be.

Třinácté nebe


Je první týden školního roku a Oliver Dalrymple, neoblíbený a vysmívaný outsider, který je posedlý biologií a chemií, stojí u své šatní skříňky a v duchu si přeříkává periodickou tabulku. To je poslední, co si pamatuje, když se náhle probudí a zjistí, že se ocitl v podivném nebi zvaném Město a určeném jen pro třináctileté. Brzy se dalším nebešťanem stane jeho spolužák Johnny a přináší s sebou první kousíček do obrazu, který se hrdina snaží složit, aby se dozvěděl, jak a proč zemřel. Ve Městě nerostou stromy ani nežijí zvířata, jsou tam jen nekonečné řady cihlových ložnic obehnaných vysokými zdmi. Nikdo tam nestárne, ale každý je trochu jiný, než jaký býval za života. To, pro co se Oliverovi doma vysmívali, je teď předností a on si získá kamarády. Najednou se cítí šťastný, je to pocit, který dosud nezažil. Jenže posmrtný život má i svou stinnou stránku: Oliver a Johnny pátrají po tom, co se v onen osudný den stalo, a přitom odhalují znepokojivé skutečnosti.
