Itt és csakis itt
Ez ITT egy iskola. A diákok tizenegy évesen érkeznek IDE és négy év múlva távoznak. Ha távoznak. Mert ITT a szabályok durvák, még azt is megnyomorítják, aki kitalálja őket. És a kétségbeesett, meggyötört ember bármire képes. Bármire...
De mi történik, ha jön egy új diák, aki nem törődik a szabályokkal? És ha jön egy új tanár, aki ITT volt diák, és mindent tud, mindenre emlékszik?
A tükörjáró-sorozat után Christelle Dabos tehetségének egy új oldalát csillantja meg többszólamú, döbbenetes, torokszorító regényében.
"A festék alatt, a vakolat alatt, a cement alatt, a falak túloldalán, a láthatatlan mélyén érzékelek valamit, amit még nem tudok megnevezni, valami rohadtul vadat, kegyetlent, ami az egész suliban ott lakozik, és ami a csontjaimba hatol. Ami hamarosan a részemmé válik.
Itt semmi sem olyan, mint máshol.
Itt külön szabályok uralkodnak.
Itt Lentiek vannak, Fentiek, párok és pár nélküliek.
S történjen bármi, Itt, ezen mindenkinek át kell mennie"

Mary Jane
A Majdnem híres című film és a Daisy Jones & The Six című könyv keveredik ebben a New York Times Könyvkritika rovata szerint "elbűvölő" regényben. Az 1970-es években játszódó történet főhőse egy tizennégy éves baltimore-i lány, akinek jellembeli fejlődését kísérhetjük végig, amint álszemérmes családja és a haladó szellemű család között lavíroz, akiknek gyermekfelügyeletet vállal a nyárra, és akikhez erre az időszakra történetesen egy híres rockzenész és az ő filmszínész felesége költözik be.
Az 1970-es évek Baltimore-jában a tizennégy éves könyvmoly Mary Jane kedvenc elfoglaltsága, amikor az anyukájával főzhet, de imád énekelni a templomi kórusban is, és minden hónapban tűkön ülve várja a családi musicalklubtagságukkal járó Broadway-darabok dalaiból összeállított legújabb lemezt. Bár ő maga csendes és visszahúzódó, nagyon megörül, amikor megkapja a bébiszitter állást: a szomszédságban lakó orvos kislányára kell vigyáznia a nyáron. Mary Jane édesanyja szerint ez egy tisztességes állás egy tisztességes háztartásban.
Persze lehet, hogy a ház kívülről tisztességes, belül azonban szó szerint és átvitt értelemben is összevisszaság uralkodik: mindenütt rendetlenség honol, az ajtókat matricák borítják, és vacsorára gabonapelyhet vagy elviteles ételt esznek. És ami még rosszabb (és amiről Mary Jane édesanyjának természetesen fogalma sem volt): az orvos apuka pszichiáter, aki egész nyáron egyetlen betegének, egy híres rockzenésznek szenteli minden idejét, hogy támogatni tudja őt a kijózanodás folyamatában. Egy héttel azután, hogy Mary Jane elkezd dolgozni a családnál, a rockzenész és az ő filmszínész felesége is beköltözik a házba.
A nyár folyamán Mary Jane kamatoztathatja háztartási ismereteit: neki köszönhetően keményre vasalt ruhák kerülnek a szekrényekbe, és minden este friss vacsora várja a családot, miközben ő maga első kézből tapasztalhatja meg a szex, a drog és a rock and roll szabad világát (a csoportterápiáról persze nem is beszélve). Az általa eddig ismert és a nyáron felfedezett új életforma összetalálkozása után Mary Jane úgy kezdi a következő tanévet, hogy már tudja, milyen emberként mit akar az élettől.
