Rosie Loves Jack

Informationen zum Autor Mel Darbon spent a large part of her childhood inventing stories to keep her brother, who had learning disabilities, happy on car journeys. Having worked as a theatre designer and freelance artist, as well as teaching young adults with learning disabilities and running creative workshops for teenage mums, young offenders and toddlers, Mel now writes young adult novels. She is a graduate of Bath Spa's MA in Writing For Young People, where she found a channel to give voice to young people who otherwise might not be heard. Her first book, Rosie Loves Jack, was a World Book Night and Empathy Lab selection. Klappentext Rosie is separated from Jack, despite their feelings for each other, and therefore attempts to cross London and get down to Brighton to be with him during a period of snow-cancelled trains, contending with the difficulties these challenges present her with as a person with Down syndrome. A perspective-expanding exploration of independence and tolerance. Zusammenfassung Rosie loves Jack. Jack loves Rosie. So when they're separated! Rosie will do anything to find the boy who makes the sun shine in her head. Even run away from home. Even struggle across London and travel to Brighton! though the trains are cancelled and snow is falling. Even though people might think a girl like Rosie could never survive on her own.
