Local DescriptionCONSTANT READER STAFF REVIEW: CLAIRE Most of us can probably relate to that particular feeling of ecstatic joy when a dream you have been yearning for finally seems within reach. Sophie’s enthusiasm about her exchange in Paris is absolutely contagious, and brought back my own memories of saving up as a teenager in the desperate hope of travelling abroad for the first time. I loved that this novel captured not only the highs of taking those initial strides of independence and charting unfamiliar territory, but also the times when such a foreign experience can become rather daunting and overwhelming. Sophie’s rollercoaster of an emotional journey forms an inspirational and empowering portrait to any young person just beginning to find their voice, showing that you can achieve anything you are passionate about and really set your mind to. DescriptionSixteen-year-old Sofie is a dreamer, an artist and a romantic. So when she goes on exchange to Paris, she is expecting magnificent adventures of the heart and mind. Yet France isn't what she imagined. It's cold and grey, and speaking another language is exhausting. Sofie's more homesick than lovesick. AwardsIndie Book Awards 2021 Young Adult Book of the Year |
