El mar de la tranquilidad
(Book)

Translation of: The sea of tranquility.

"La antigua prodigio del piano Nastya Kashnikov solo quiere dos cosas: terminar el instituto sin que nadie conozca su pasado y conseguir que el chico que se lo arrebató todo -su identidad, su espíritu, sus ganas de vivir- pague por lo que hizo. La historia de Josh Bennett no es ningún secreto. Cada persona a la que ha amado ha sido arrancada de su vida, y a los diecisiete años no le queda nadie. Ahora lo único que quiere es estar solo. Y parece que la gente comprende que no necesita compañía. Todos excepto Nastya, la misteriosa chica nueva del instituto, que poco a poco irá acercándose a él. Pero cuanto más llega a conocerla Josh, mayor es el enigma. A medida que su relación se intensifica, las preguntas sin respuesta salen a la luz y él comienza a preguntarse si alguna vez sabrá quién es Nastya en realidad, o incluso si quiere descubrirlo. El mar de la Tranquilidad es una historia profunda y emotiva sobre el milagro de las segundas oportunidades"--,Provided by publisher.

"I live in a world without magic or miracles. A place where there are no clairvoyants or shapeshifters, no angels or superhuman boys to save you. A place where people die and music disintegrates and things suck. I am pressed so hard against the earth by the weight of reality that some days I wonder how I am still able to lift my feet to walk." Former piano prodigy Nastya Kashnikov wants two things: to get through high school without anyone learning about her past and to make the boy who took everything from her -- her identity, her spirit, her will to live -- pay. Josh Bennett's story is no secret: every person he loves has been taken from his life until, at seventeen years old, there is no one left. Now all he wants is be left alone and people allow it because when your name is synonymous with death, everyone tends to give you your space. Everyone except Nastya, the mysterious new girl at school who starts showing up and won't go away until she's insinuated herself into every aspect of his life. But the more he gets to know her, the more of an enigma she becomes. As their relationship intensifies and the unanswered questions begin to pile up, he starts to wonder if he will ever learn the secrets she's been hiding -- or if he even wants to. 'The Sea of Tranquility' is a rich, intense, and brilliantly imagined story about a lonely boy, an emotionally fragile girl, and the miracle of second chances.--,from publisher.
