Harriet Manners ved en hel masse. Hun ved, at New York er den mest tætbefolkede by i USA. Hun ved, at byens officielle motto er “Excelsior” , altså noget i retning af “Opad og fremad” på latin. Hun ved, at en ud af 38 personer, der bor i USA, bor her. Men Harriet aner intet om, at være model i The Big Apple, eller om hvordan hendes familie skal klare sig i USA. Hun ved heller ikke, hvordan man bliver et “brand”, som modellerne i New York siger. Eller værre endnu: Harriet aner ikke, hvad hun skal stille op, da de helt store kærlighedserklæringer kommer fra en anden end hendes kæreste ... er nørden landet på en catwalk, der er lidt for langt væk hjemmefra?

Nørd på catwalk

Rollemodel

Bogens antiheltinde Harriet Manners, 15 år, er en nørd og gør en dyd ud af det. Hun er ikke specielt populær, men prøver heller ikke at blive det. Hun er tilfreds med at have en bedste veninde, Nat, og en mednørd/stalker, Toby. Dog kunne hun godt tænke sig, at omgivelserne ikke gjorde nar ad hende og ad det at være en nørd. Nat, der altid har drømt om at blive model, tvinger Harriet med til en stor modemesse, hvor hun – Harriet, ikke Nat – bliver spottet af et modelbureau. Hun er ikke det fjerneste interesseret i tøj, sko og makeup, og hun er faktisk også lidt af en social analfabet. Men allermest er hun bange for at såre Nat. Derfor afviser hun til at starte med enhver tanke om en modelkarriere. Men så går det op for hende, at det måske kan blive et middel til at få omgivelserne til at acceptere hende og hendes nørdede sider. Herefter bliver alt vendt på hovedet, og Harriet mister jordforbindelsen – særligt når den mandlige model Nick er i nærheden … Nørd på Catwalk er en rigtig god læseoplevelse for yngre teenagepiger (og deres forældre). Det er de færreste teenagere, der bliver modeller, men læserne vil genkende de temaer og dilemmaer, bogen i øvrigt præsenterer, fx sårbare venskaber, indre og ydre værdier, den første forelskelse og modet til at være sig selv. Læs videre om Harriets oplevelser i "Malplaceret model".

* Mennesket tænker 70.000 tanker om dagen * Sommerfuglelarver har 4.000 muskler * Et menneske spiser gennemsnitligt et ton føde om året * Nørd + Model = en hel ny omgang graffiti på éns ejendele Men Harriet ved helt klart intet om drenge. På en kaotisk modelrejse til Tokyo opdager hun, at hun med glæde vil bytte al sin tillærte viden for bare skyggen af fornemmelse for, hvad hun skal stille op ...

Sincèrement. Je préfère savoir que lors d’un éternuement, tous les organes s’arrêtent, le coeur compris, qu’une cuillerée à café d’étoile à neutrons pèse des milliards de tonnes, ou que le merle bleu ne voit pas la couleur bleue. C’est sûrement pour ça que je n’ai pas beaucoup d’amis et qu’un «fan» a écrit GEEK au marqueur rouge sur mon sac. Alors que feriez-vous à ma place si une agence de mannequin vous repérait ? Et vous proposait de passer d’intellectuelle à... top-modèle.

D’intellectuelle à top-modèle

Hyvän mielen romaani kysyy, mitä tekisit, jos voisit korjata menneisyytesi. Cassandra jätetään aamulla. Sitten hän saa potkut. Lähikahvilastakin loppuvat banaanimuffinit. Kun kauhupäivä toistuu päivä toisensa jälkeen samanlaisena, Cassandra käsittää joutuneensa jonkinlaiseen aikasilmukkaan. Mistä oikein on kyse? Cassandra saa elämänsä tilaisuuden muuttaa menneisyyttään ja kohentaa katastrofaalista elämäänsä. Mutta vaikka hän voisi aloittaa arkensa toisin joka aamu, hän ei välttämättä tiedä, mitä tehdä ja voiko kaikkea edes muuttaa. Bestseller-kirjailijan aikuisiän autismidiagnoosiin pohjaava lukuromaani antaa erilaisuudelle mieleenpainuvat ja lämpöä herättävät kasvot.

Uusi alku, Cassandra

Het Cassandra complex is de nieuwe roman van bestsellerauteur Holly Smale, bekend van de serie Geek Girl. Cassandra heeft vandaag niet bepaald haar dag. Vanmorgen werd ze gedumpt door haar vriend en tegen lunchtijd werd ze ontslagen omdat ze geen 'mensenmens' is. Maar wanneer ze ’s avonds thuiskomt en haar ex opduikt alsof er niets is gebeurd, is Cassie te opgelucht om vragen te stellen. Ze is gewoon blij dat haar langste romantische relatie ooit (vier maanden) weer op het goede spoor zit… Toch? Maar morgen wordt Cassie weer gedumpt – en ontslagen. Wanneer ze beseft dat ze gezegend is, of misschien vervloekt, met de mogelijkheid om terug in de tijd te reizen, krijgt ze de kans om dingen anders te doen. Maar zal ze erachter komen waarom zoveel dingen in haar leven steeds verkeerd blijven gaan?

Het Cassandra complex

Harriet sait que le mannequinat ne peut pas la transformer. Elle sait qu’être singulièrement différente comme un ours polaire n’est pas nécessairement une mauvaise chose (même dans la forêt tropicale). Et aussi qu’un humain moyen consomme une tonne de nourriture par année, même si sa belle-mère enceinte semble faire tout en son pouvoir pour faire augmenter la moyenne. Ce qu’Harriet ignore, c’est où sera sa place à l’arrivée du bébé. Ses projets d’été sont tombés à l’eau, alors aller parader au Japon semble être le plan parfait pour s’éloigner le plus possible de la maison. Toutefois, rien ne pouvait préparer Harriet à la folie de Tokyo, à l’esprit compétitifs des autres mannequins et au «chaperonnage» de sa grand-mère. Ou encore à retrouver le superbe Nick partout où elle va. Parce que cette fois-ci, Harriet connaît la sensation d’un coeur brisé. L’intellectuelle pourra-t-elle trouver sa voie de l’autre côté du monde, ou Harriet estelle perdue à jamais?

En marge du podium

Harriet a décidément le don de se fourrer dans des situations délicates. En plus de s’attirer les foudres de ses consoeurs mannequins, jalouses de son succès, elle se retrouve enrôlée malgré elle au lycée, dans une très mauvaise production théâtrale de Shakespeare. Non seulement Harriet est une actrice déplorable, mais elle doit aussi soutenir sa meilleure amie Nat. Celle-ci rêve d’un succès de tragédienne, bien qu’elle n’ait qu’un rôle muet… celui du crâne auquel parle Hamlet!

Être ou ne pas être...

Eh oui, c’est offi ciel : j’ai désormais ma bande. Ma meute, mon gang, ma confrérie. Un groupe de cinq joyeux compères inséparables comme le Club des Cinq ou la bande de Scoubidou, sauf qu’aucun d’entre nous n’est un grand chien marron. Pour la première fois de ma vie, je fais partie d’une équipe où j’ai parfaitement ma place, où je peux tout organiser, tout prévoir, tout contrôler. Et mes amis et moi, on adore ça. Comment ça, «surtout moi?»

Jambes par-dessus tête

Was würdest du tun, wenn du deine Vergangenheit ändern könntest? "Mein schrecklich schönes Leben" ist ein ebenso einfühlsamer wie mitreißender Roman um Selbstliebe und die Suche nach dem eigenen Platz im Leben. Cassandra Penelope Dankworth hat selten richtig gute Tage, aber heute läuft es besonders schlecht: Am Morgen trennt sich ihr Freund Will von ihr, und noch vor dem Mittagessen verliert sie ihren Job, weil sie angeblich Kunden ebenso vergrault wie ihre Kolleg*innen. Am Abend jedoch taucht Will auf, um sie zum Essen auszuführen, als sei nichts gewesen. Cassandra ist so erleichtert, dass ihre bisher längste Beziehung (immerhin vier Monate!) doch noch nicht vorbei ist, dass sie keine Fragen stellt. Allerdings fühlt sich der ganze Abend an wie ein einziges Déjà-vu - und am nächsten Morgen macht Will wieder Schluss, mit den exakt gleichen Worten wie am Tag zuvor. So unwahrscheinlich es auch sein mag, Cassandra muss einsehen, dass sie in einer Zeitschleife feststeckt. Es scheint, als hätte sie endlich die Möglichkeit, alles richtig zu machen - aber was genau ist eigentlich "richtig"? Die 31-jährige Cassandra ist eine herrlich unperfekte Heldin, deren selbstironischer Erzählton uns immer wieder schmunzeln lässt. Mit leichter Hand erzählt Holly Smales Roman von Familie, Liebe und Schuld, vom Erwachsenwerden, von Selbstfindung und Mental Health.

Mein schrecklich schönes Leben (Ungekürzte Lesung)

I Know How This Ends

'Mijn naam is Harriet Manners en ik ben een "geek". Ik weet dat omdat ik het net heb opgezocht in het woordenboek. Ik heb een vinkje gezet naast de symptomen die ik herken, en ze blijken allemaal op mij van toepassing! Eerlijk gezegd komt het niet als een enorme verrassing.'Harriet Manners weet best veel; zo weet ze dat een mens gemiddeld 15 keer per dag lacht, hommels niet kunnen lopen, en dolfijnen met één oog open slapen. Ze is geen nerd, maar een charmante allesweter - een geek, zeg maar. Er is alleen één ding waar ze absoluut niets van begrijpt: mode. Maar hier komt verandering in als ze op een dag wordt gecast als model en besluit dat dit dé kans is om van haar geeky imago af te komen. Terwijl ze in hilarische situaties belandt, komt ze erachter dat er niet bepaald een klik is met de modewereld. Maar kan ze nog teruggaan naar de oude Harriet die ze ooit was?

En die verwachtingen zijn hoog: ze is immers perfect, of tenminste, dat lijkt zo...Holly Smale is de auteur van de geliefde 'Geek Girl'-serie en van 'De Valentines', de meidenserie over de drie wereldberoemde zusjes Hope, Faith en Mercy.
