I Am the Messenger

Loved THE BOOK THIEF? take a look at this! Ten years in the making the epic new novel from the acclaimed, prize-winning, bestselling author of THE BOOK THIEF Here is a story told inside out and back to front: The five Dunbar brothers are living with their menagerie of animals in the perfect chaos of a house without grownups. Today, the father who walked out on them long ago is about to walk right back in. And so the life of Clay, the quiet one with a harrowing secret, is about to change forever. From a grandfather, whose passion for the ancient Greeks still lights up their lives, to a mother and father who fell in love over a mislaid piano, to the present day, where five sons co-exist in a house with no rules, BRIDGE OF CLAY is an sweeping portrait of how a ramshackle family, held together by stories and by love, come to unbury one boy's tragic secret. This tale of a young life caught in a current - a life in search of greatness and the cure for a painful past - is as intense, inspiring and ambitious as only Markus Zusak can be. Markus Zusak's epic new novel BRIDGE OF CLAY is due out this October 2018

Bridge of Clay

»Die Bücherdiebin« ist ein modernern Klassiker und Weltbestseller und wurde 2014 erfolgreich verfilmt. Molching bei München. Hans und Rosa Hubermann nehmen die kleine Liesel Meminger bei sich auf – für eine bescheidene Beihilfe, die ihnen die ersten Kriegsjahre kaum erträglicher macht. Für Liesel jedoch bricht eine Zeit voller Hoffnung, voll schieren Glücks an – in dem Augenblick, als sie zu stehlen beginnt. Anfangs ist es nur ein Buch, das im Schnee liegen geblieben ist. Dann eines, das sie aus dem Feuer rettet. Dann Äpfel, Kartoffeln und Zwiebeln. Das Herz von Rudi. Die Herzen von Hans und Rosa Hubermann. Das Herz von Max. Und das des Todes. Denn selbst der Tod hat ein Herz. Eine unvergessliche Geschichte vom dunkelsten und doch brillantesten aller Erzähler: dem Tod. Tragisch und witzige, zugleich wütend und zutiefst lebensbejahend – ein Meisterwerk.

Ausgezeichnet mit dem Deutschen Jugendliteraturpreis 2009

Nichts weniger als ein Wunder

Cameron Wolfe é o caçula de três irmãos, e o mais quieto da família. Não é nada parecido com Steve, o irmão mais velho e astro do futebol, nem com Rube, o do meio, cheio de charme e coragem e que a cada semana está com uma garota nova. Cameron daria tudo para se aproximar de uma garota daquelas, para amá-la e tratá-la bem, e gosta especialmente da mais recente namorada de Rube, Octavia, com suas ideias brilhantes e olhos verde-mar. Cameron e Rube sempre foram leais um com o outro, mas isso é colocado à prova quando Cam se apaixona por Octavia. Mas por que alguém como ela se interessaria por um perdedor como ele? Octavia, porém, sabe que Cameron é mais interessante do que pensa. Talvez ele tenha algo a dizer, e talvez suas palavras mudem tudo: as vitórias, os amores, as derrotas, a família Wolfe e até ele mesmo.
