My Small-Town Life – Everything Stinks Without You (Vol. 1)

  • Current topics of activism and leaving city life behind

Country air? No, Thank you!

Thirteen-year-old Fiona has to move to the countryside – to a small town in the middle of nowhere! Just because her mother has a crush on the woolly-hatwearing eco-hipster Phil and wants to “wind down” in the vegetable patch. For Fiona, this means: No more rallies with her best friend Charly! Is she supposed to see Charly during school holidays only? No way! On Instagram, both of them start posting selfies of Fiona in front of deserted village roads and dunghills. But while Charly is organising a campaign to “Free Fiona!”, Fiona makes new friends in the village and starts enjoying the summer days at the lake. When Charly’s rally arrives in the countryside, the moment of truth has come. Does Fiona have to make a choice?

An original book for girls, super funny, heartfelt, and with a fresh narrative voice!
