Sarah Crossan zählt für mich zu den wichtigsten Jugendbuchautorinnen dieser Zeit. In ihren Romanen greift sie mitunter schwierige Themen auf und erzählt von den besonderen Herausforderungen im Leben ihrer jungen Helden und Heldinnen. „Toffee“ ist keine einfache Lektüre und trotzdem kann man kaum anders, als das Buch ohne Pause durchzulesen. „Toffee“ von Sarah Crossan, erschienen im Hanser Verlag.

Gibt es so etwas wie Gerechtigkeit im Angesicht von Mord? Kann der Tod des Täters den Tod des Opfers wieder gut machen? Und wenn nicht, wieso sterben dann immer noch so viele in den Todestrakten durch die Spritze oder auf der Straße durch Selbstjustiz?Und falls doch, was ist es, dass am Tod des Mörders Genugtuung verschafft? Und ist es diese Genugtuung Wert in Kauf zu nehmen, nicht den Richtigen erwischt zu haben? Diese Fragen werfen Jason Reynolds in ‘Long Way Down' und Sarah Crossan in ‘Wer ist Edward Moon?' auf. Beide begleiten jeweils einen jüngeren Bruder, deren älterer Bruder in einen Mordfall verwickelt ist. Bei dem einen ist der Bruder das Opfer, bei dem anderen (vermeintlich) der Täter.Was diese Tragödie für sie und ihre Familien bedeutet, beleuchten beide in fast poetischer - und dabei vollkommen reduzierter - Sprache eindrücklich.

This episode is sponsored by TBR, Book Riot’s subscription service offering reading recommendations personalized to your reading life, Kensington Books, and Yen Press. Subscribe to the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. Feedback The Brilliance Saga (Brilliance) by Marcus Sakey (rec’d by Carol) The Red and the Blue: The 1990s and the Birth of Political Tribalism by Steve Kornacki; #Kornackithirst on Leslie Jones’s Twitter feed (rec’d by Kelly) Questions 1. I really enjoy novels with interesting structures or narrative devices. I recently read and loved the YA novel Toffee by Sarah Crossan, which is in verse, and We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver, which unfolds slowly via letters from the protagonist, is possibly my favourite book of all time. Other examples I’ve read and appreciated are stream of consciousness novels (Ducks, Newburyport, Lucy Ellman, and Mrs Dalloway, Virginia Woolf) and Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell, which is made up of books within books. Recommendations for other novels with interesting/ambitious structures or devices gratefully received PS I have listened to every episode of your show from the UK (I found it when you were at episode 90, or so and was hooked). I really appreciate your diverse suggestions and have read many interesting books after hearing about them from yourselves. Thank you so much for your faithful recording and, as a Brit, I am so pleased you got the election result you wanted. -Pippa 2. Hi! I’ve been in a major reading slump and the last books that really got me going had an unexpected throughline that I’d love to read more of: they were casually queer YA. By casually queer, I mean they had blantantly queer characters and romances that were important to the storyline, but the queerness wasn’t a big deal and wasn’t even particularly acknowledged. More specifically, I read The Fever King by Victoria Lee, We Set the Dark on Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia, Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire, and Jane, Unlimited by Kristin Cashore. What else should I be reading? If possible, I’m looking for recs that I would hopefully be able to find at my library without a weeks-long hold list! -Carol 3. Hi Jenn & Amanda! I’m hoping you can help me find some sci-fi reads. I’m relatively new to the genre, and to be honest, I’ve always been slightly intimidated by it. However, this year I found a few sci-fi books that I truly loved – Becky Chambers’ Wayfarers series and This is How You Lose the Time War. I think what drew me to these particular books is that they feature all of the fun trappings typical of the genre (aliens, AI, time-travel etc) but with a slower, quieter, more “thoughtful” feel than most other sci-fi books I’ve picked up. I also loved the found-family aspect and sense of optimism in the Wayfarers trilogy and the gorgeous prose and emotional depth of TIHYLTTW. Any recommendations for books in a similar vein would be greatly appreciated! P.S. Please no on-the-page sexual violence. -Sara 4. I just finished and absolutely loved Rainbow Rowell’s Carry On and am about to start Wayward Son. I know I am going to want to luxuriate in a world with magic and queer characters (POC representation very welcome) after I finish and the last book in the series will not be out for a while. I’ve read Harry Potter, which Carry On was modeled on. Are there any similar books to Carry On and Wayward Son you could recommend? -taeli/Angie 5. Hello Get Booked! I just finished reading my book club’s pick for this month – Carnegie’s Maid by Marie Benedict, and while I didn’t necessarily LOVE LOVE all aspects of it, it reminded me so much of one of my all time favorite books, The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly. Aspects of these books that I loved are the strong female main characters, lots of details of the time period/setting, glimpses into what society was like at the time, and of course, the romance! I’d love some recommendations of books with themes similar to these…I’m not sure whether I’m asking for historical fiction heavy on the romance or romance heavy on the historical fiction, but I think you catch my drift! I love late 1800s and early 1900s, but I’m open to different time periods, and I prefer urban settings like NYC or London. Thanks!  -Anna 6. I have recently been rewatching Buffy, and man do I love the show. Do you two know of any books that have a similar feel. They don’t need to be about a teenager or YA, I’m more interested in a badass female character who’s fighting something. She can totally also be a supernatural being, unlike Buffy, it doesn’t need to be exactly like the show, I just want something with a similar vibe. I also would not mind some romance in the book ala Spike and Buffy, but I don’t want to be too picky, so don’t worry too much about romance.  -Jenny 7. Hello! I have been looking for a good dystopian book lately, but can’t seem to find any. I’ve read Sycthe, The Hunger Games, and a couple more series of dystopian novels and I’ve finally hit a wall. Any dystopian recommendations? -Chel Books Discussed Milkman by Anna Burns The Fifth Season by NK Jemisin (tw: graphic harm to children, institutionalized racism) Huntress by Malinda Lo Hocus Pocus & The All New Sequel by A.W.

We are delving into a topic today and it's the 'M' word... yup marriage. Having read Sue Miller's Monogamy and Sarah Crossan's Here is the Beehive almost back to back we were taken aback by how many similar themes it touches. So join us as we peel back the layers of matrimony like the proverbial onion, it's pungent and there might be tears but cooked long and slow it might be still be a dish worth committing to.

You're going to a real school for the first time ever and there's this cute boy there you might want to kiss ... but you and your sister are LITERALLY joint at the hip, so it's tricky. In this episode Aífe and Ciara discuss One by Sarah Crossan; a novel in verse which follows the story of Grace as she navigates school, family, friends, reading James Joyce, and being physically conjoined with her twin sister Tippi. We discuss the struggle between familial love, personal autonomy, and romantic love.

Zu Gast: Ulf-Andre Thur. Justizvollzugsbeamter. Was der mit Büchern zu tun hat? Jede Menge!!! Er kümmert sich nämlich mit so viel Einsatz um die Bibliothek in der Jugendarrestanstalt, dass er für sein Engagement sogar schon ausgezeichnet wurde.  Gemeinsam mit Inaiê geht es in dieser Folge um Sarah Crossans neuesten Roman, "Wer ist Edward Moon?". Ein Jugendroman über die großen Fragen des Lebens. Crossan erzählt die Geschichte des 17 jährigen Joe Moon, dem kleinen Bruder von Edward Moon. Seit zehn Jahren haben sich die Brüder nicht mehr gesehen, denn Ed sitzt im Todestrakt in einem texanischen Gefängnis. Nun wird sein Hinrichtungsdatum festgesetzt. Und Joe beschließt die letzten sechs Wochen mit seinem Bruder zu verbringen.  Welchen Wert misst man Leben bei, was kann man vergeben, wie nimmt man Abschied? Der Roman stellt viele schwere Fragen. Schafft es aber durch die Versform die Geschichte fast unbeschwert zu erzählen.  Ist Edward schuldig? Gibt es vielleicht noch Hoffnung für ihn? Wie sieht so ein Alltag von Ulf aus und was lesen eigentlich Jugendliche die in der Jugendarrestanstalt sind? Auf all die Fragen gibt es Antwort in der neuen Podcastfolge!
