Under the Fading Sky (Paperback, 미국판)
뉴베리 상과 전미도서상을 석권한 거장 신시아 카도하타(Cynthia Kadohata)가 선보이는, 전자담배 중독의 실상을 생생하게 그려낸 청소년 소설입니다.
"모든 일에는 시작과 끝이 있다. 그리고 우리는 끝에 도달해서야, 혹은 직전에야 비로소 그걸 깨닫는다."
열여섯 소년 일라이저는 자신의 전자담배(베이핑) 습관이 그저 친구들과 어울려 노는 무해하고 쿨한 행동일 뿐이라고 생각했습니다. 마치 허리케인의 눈 속에 있는 것처럼, 주변의 폭풍을 알아채지 못한 채 평온함 속에 갇혀 있었죠. 하지만 그 평온함이 깨지고 지독한 중독이라는 악몽 같은 현실과 마주했을 때, 일라이저의 삶은 걷잡을 수 없이 흔들리기 시작합니다. 시간을 되돌려 모든 걸 바꾸고 싶지만 결코 그럴 수 없다는 잔인한 진실 앞에서도, 소년은 비로소 자신이 진짜 누구인지 직시하며 처절한 성장통을 겪게 됩니다.
A teen boy thinks his vaping habit is harmless until it becomes a crippling addiction of nightmarish dimensions in this “vivid” (School Library Journal) young adult novel from Newbery and National Book Award winner Cynthia Kadohata.
So, stuff has, like, a beginning and an end.
And you don’t really realize that until the end, or right before.
Before that, you’re just thinking that you and your homies are chillin’ and getting high, and it’s all gonna work out. You know?
Truth is, the way life works is that you were born in the eye of a hurricane, and you think that’s just the way life is, calm-like.
Until…it isn’t.
So, yeah, Elijah is only sixteen, and already he would change a lot of stuff if he could go back in time.
But you can’t ever do that.
And when you can’t, that’s when you find out who you really are.
