Eric Lindstrom

In the vein of It's Kind of a Funny Story and All the Bright Places, comes a captivating, immersive exploration of life with mental illness.For sixteen-year-old Mel Hannigan, bipolar disorder makes life unpredictable. Her latest struggle is balancing her growing feelings in a new relationship with her instinct to keep everyone at arm's length. And when a former friend confronts Mel with the truth about the way their relationship ended, deeply buried secrets threaten to come out and upend her shaky equilibrium. As the walls of Mel's compartmentalized world crumble, she fears the worst--that her friends will abandon her if they learn the truth about what she's been hiding. Can Mel bring herself to risk everything to find out? In A Tragic Kind of Wonderful, Eric Lindstrom, author of the critically acclaimed Not If I See You First, examines the fear that keeps us from exposing our true selves, and the courage it takes to be loved for who we really are.

A Tragic Kind of Wonderful

Everyone has secrets. Everyone is a secret. Parker Grant is a junior in high school who loves to run, has great friends, and isn't afraid to speak her mind--especially when it comes to how stupid some people can be around a blind person like her. The only topic to avoid is how Parker feels about the boy who broke her heart in eighth grade... who has just transferred to her school. And as long as she can keep giving herself gold stars for every day she hasn't cried since her dad's death three months ago, she'll be just fine. Right? Combining a fiercely engaging voice with true heart, debut author Eric Lindstrom's Not If I See You First sheds light on the metaphorical blind spots that are a part of life, whether you're visually impaired or not.

Not if I See You First

Wat jij niet ziet

"Je suis Parker, j'ai 16 ans et je suis aveugle. Bon j'y vois rien, mais remettez-vous : je suis pareille que vous, juste plus intelligente. D'ailleurs j'ai établi les Règles de Parker : - Ne me touchez pas sans me prévenir ; - Ne me traitez pas comme si j'étais idiote ; - Ne me parlez pas super fort (je ne suis pas sourde) ; - Et ne cherchez JAMAIS à me duper. Depuis la trahison de Scott, mon meilleur pote et petit ami, j'en ai même rajouté une dernière. Alors, quand il débarque à nouveau dans ma vie, tout est chamboulé. Parce que la dernière règle est claire : - Il n'y a AUCUNE seconde chance. La trahison est impardonnable."

Dis-moi si tu souris

»Ich bin wie du mit geschlossenen Augen, nur schlauer!« Das ist Parkers Credo, und sie hat strenge Regeln aufgestellt, wie sie behandelt werden will. Seit der Trennung von ihrem Freund Scott und dem Tod ihres Vaters verlässt sie sich nur noch auf sich selbst. Für jeden Tag, an dem sie nicht heult, gibt sie sich einen Goldstern. Sie trainiert fürs Laufteam – okay, sie ist blind, aber ihre Beine funktionieren ja. Und sonst hält sie sich die meisten Leute mit Ruppigkeit vom Hals. Bis Scott ihrer Liebe doch noch eine Chance geben will ...

Wie ich dich sehe

Spune-mi dacă zâmbești

In the tradition of Gayle Forman and John Green comes this extraordinary YA debut about a blind teen girl navigating life and love in high school. Parker Grant doesn't need 20/20 vision to see right through you. That's why she created the Rules: Don't treat her any differently just because she's blind, and never take advantage. There will be no second chances. Just ask Scott Kilpatrick, the boy who broke her heart. When Scott suddenly reappears in her life after being gone for years, Parker knows there's only one way to react--shun him so hard it hurts. She has enough on her mind already, like trying out for the track team (that's right, her eyes don't work but her legs still do), doling out tough-love advice to her painfully naive classmates, and giving herself gold stars for every day she hasn't cried since her dad's death three months ago. But avoiding her past quickly proves impossible, and the more Parker learns about what really happened--both with Scott, and her dad--the more she starts to question if things are always as they seem. Maybe, just maybe, some Rules are meant to be broken. Combining a fiercely engaging voice with true heart, debut author Eric Lindstrom's Not If I See You First illuminates those blind spots that we all have in life, whether visually impaired or not.
