Cose da salvare in caso di incendio
Vaclav ha dieci anni e un sogno: diventare un mago famoso in tutto il mondo. Ma il sogno più grande è fare di Lena, una compagna di scuola molto speciale, la sua incantevole assistente. Nasce così, all'insegna della magia, l'amicizia che cambierà la vita dei due ragazzini. Vaclav vive con i genitori, ebrei russi emigrati nella terra delle grandi opportunità, in un modesto appartamento di Brooklyn dove il borsc ha impregnato del suo odore ogni cosa. Stesse origini ha Lena, che non ha i genitori, abita con una giovane zia sbandata e passa molto tempo da sola. Si esprime soprattutto con le emozioni, perché l'inglese non è la sua lingua madre e spesso non trova le parole giuste. Ma ci pensa Vaclav ogni volta a regalargliele, aiutandola a leggere il mondo quando per lei diventa indecifrabile. Un giorno la madre di Vaclav scopre un segreto sconvolgente sulla piccola Lena. E da quel giorno la bambina sparisce, come per effetto di un numero di magia. Cosa le è successo? Chi si occuperà di lei? Chi la proteggerà? Per sette anni Vaclav, ogni sera, addormentandosi, si porrà queste domande. Finché la sera del diciassettesimo compleanno di Lena riceverà una telefonata che gli rivelerà ogni cosa e cambierà per sempre la sua vita...

De verdwijntruc
E-bookDe verdwijntruc is het verhaal van de bijzondere vriendschap tussen de tienjarige goochelaar Vaclav en zijn charmante assistente Lena. De twee Russische immigrantenkinderen wonen in Brooklyn maar hebben een totaal verschillende achtergrond: zijn ouders werken hard om hun Amerikaanse droom te verwezenlijken, zij is een weeskind dat opgroeit onder omstandigheden waarin geen enkel kind zou mogen opgroeien. De liefde tussen de twee is onverwoestbaar; ook als familiegeschiedenissen en donkere geheimen hun geluk overschaduwen en ze na een afschuwelijke ontdekking ruw van elkaar worden gescheiden, blijft hun band bestaan. Jaren later ontmoeten ze elkaar weer en heeft Vaclav nog altijd de gave om Lena te betoveren. Maar het verleden blijft een rol spelen, en Vaclav en Lena worden gedwongen hun geschiedenis tegen het licht te houden. En de ontdekking die ze daarbij doen, vormt opnieuw een bedreiging voor hun liefde. De verdwijntruc is een fantastisch liefdesverhaal van een getalenteerde jonge schrijfster.
