Het is het debuut van de Amerikaanse Erin Stewart. De vertaalrechten zijn nog voor verschijnen verkocht aan 16 landen.

Het vuur in mij

Young adult román. Při požáru přišla šestnáctiletá Ava doslova o vše a jako vzpomínky jí zůstaly nepěkné jizvy po popáleninách. Postupně ale Ava zjišťuje, že jizvy si nesou všichni lidé, i když nejsou vždy viditelné. Šestnáctiletá Ava Leeová přišla o všechno: o rodiče, nejlepší kamarádku, domov a dokonce i o tvář. Nepotřebuje zrcadlo, aby viděla, jak vypadá. Svůj odraz vidí v očích všech, kteří se na ni dívají. Rok po požáru, který zničil její svět, stojí před návratem do "normálního" života. Pro popálenou dívku jako ona už ale žádný normální život neexistuje. Teprve setkání se stejně postiženou spolužačkou Piper v ní probouzí naděje, že na svou noční můru již nebude sama. Piper vytlačí Avu z její komfortní zóny a přinutí ji dělat věci, které by nikdy nepovažovala za možné. Ava však netuší, že Piper bojuje i svou vlastní bitvu a již brzy se bude muset rozhodnout, jestli svým jizvám dovolí, aby ji stáhly zpět... nebo umožní těm, kteří ji mají rádi, aby jí pomohli létat. Nakladatelská anotace.

Jizvy jako křídla

Każdy ma blizny. Tylko niektóre widać na pierwszy rzut oka… Rok po pożarze, który ją okaleczył, szesnastoletnia Ava wraca do szkoły. Przywykła już do krępujących ludzkich spojrzeń i niewybrednych określeń. Ale jest jedno, którego nienawidzi bardziej niż innych: „ocalona”. Jak nazwać kogoś, kto ocalał wbrew własnej woli? Kto czasami żałuje, że żyje? Kiedy Ava poznaje Piper, dziewczynę, która tak jak ona jest ofiarą wypadku i poparzenia, dopuszcza do siebie myśl, że być może nie będzie musiała stawić czoła koszmarowi samotnie. Piper pomaga jej odnaleźć w sobie dziewczynę, jaką była przed pożarem – normalną nastolatkę, która całowała się ze swoim chłopcem i śpiewała na scenie. Ale Piper toczy swoją własną bitwę, a gdy Ava omal nie traci przyjaciółki, musi zdecydować, czy zbuduje swoją „nową normalność” na tym, co widzi w lustrze – czy oprze się na ludziach, którzy przy niej stoją. Ta piękna, afirmująca życie debiutancka powieść Erin Stewart została nazwana odpowiedzią na Cudowne dziecko dla nieco starszej widowni. Idealna dla fanów Jandy Nelson, Nicoli Yoon i Johna Greena.
