"A blazing prismatic explosion of color." Entertainment Weekly
"Powerful and well-crafted . . . Stunning." Time Magazine
We were all heading for each other on a collision course, no matter what. Maybe some people are just meant to be in the same story.
At first, Jude and her twin brother are NoahandJude; inseparable. Noah draws constantly and is falling in love with the charismatic boy next door, while daredevil Jude wears red-red lipstick, cliff-dives, and does all the talking for both of them.
Years later, they are barely speaking. Something has happened to change the twins in different yet equally devastating ways . . . but then Jude meets an intriguing, irresistible boy and a mysterious new mentor.
The early years are Noah s to tell; the later years are Jude s. But they each have only half the story, and if they can only find their way back to one another, they ll have a chance to remake their world.
This radiant, award-winning novel from the acclaimed author of The Sky Is Everywhere will leave you breathless and teary and laughing often all at once.
Lese-Probe zu „I'll Give You the Sun “
This is how it all begins.
With Zephyr and Fry reigning neighborhood sociopaths torpedoing after me and the whole forest floor shaking under my feet as I blast through air, trees, this white-hot panic.
You re going over, you pussy! Fry shouts.
Then Zephyr s on me, has one, both of my arms behind my back, and Fry s grabbed my sketchpad. I lunge for it but I m armless, helpless. I try to wriggle out of Zephyr s grasp. Can t. Try to blink them into moths. No. They re still themselves: fifteen-foot-tall, tenth-grade asshats who toss living, breathing thirteen-year-old people like me over cliffs for kicks.
Zephyr s got me in a headlock from behind and his chest s heaving into my back, my back into his chest. We re swimming in sweat. Fry starts leafing through the pad. Whatcha been drawing, Bubble? I imagine him getting run over by a truck. He holds up a page of sketches. Zeph, look at all these naked dudes.
The blood in my body stops moving.
They re not dudes. They re David, I get out, praying I won t sound like a gerbil, praying he won t turn to later drawings in the pad, drawings done today, when I was spying, drawings of them, rising out of the water, with their surfboards under arm, no wetsuits, no nothing, totally glistening, and, uh: holding hands. I might have taken some artistic license. So they re going to think . . . They re going to kill me even before they kill me is what they re going to do. The world starts somersaulting. I fling words at Fry: You know? Michelangelo? Ever heard of him? I m not going to act like me. Act tough and you are tough, as Dad has said and said and said like I m some kind of broken umbrella.
Yeah, I ve heard of him, Fry says out of the big bulgy mouth that clumps with the rest of his big bulgy features under the world s most massive forehead, making it very easy to mistake him for a hippopotamus. He rips the page out of the sketchpad. Heard

he was gay.
He was my mom wrote a whole book about it not that Fry knows. He calls everyone gay when he s not calling them homo and pussy. And me: homo and pussy and Bubble.
Zephyr laughs a dark demon laugh. It vibrates through me.
Fry holds up the next sketch. More David. The bottom half of him. A study in detail. I go cold.
They re both laughing now. It s echoing through the forest. It s coming out of birds.
Again, I try to break free of the lock Zephyr has me in so I can snatch the pad out of Fry s hands, but it only tightens Zephyr s hold. Zephyr, who s freaking Thor. One of his arms is choked around my neck, the other braced across my torso like a seat belt. He s bare-chested, straight off the beach, and the heat of him is seeping through my T-shirt. His coconut suntan lotion s filling my nose, my whole head the strong smell of the ocean too, like he s carrying it on his back . . . Zephyr dragging the tide along like a blanket behind him . . . That would be good, that would be it (PORTRAIT: The Boy Who Walked Off with the Sea) but not now, Noah, so not the time to mind-paint this cretin. I snap back, taste the salt on my lips, remind myself I m about to die
Zephyr s long seaweedy hair is wet and dripping down my neck and shoulders. I notice we re breathing in synch, heavy, bulky breaths. I try to unsynch with him. I try to unsynch with the law of gravity and float up. Can t do either. Can t do anything. The wind s whipping pieces of my drawings mostly family portraits now out of F

"Dazzling." The New York Times Book Review
"Have you ever wanted to put a book in all of your friends' hands? This is that kind of book . . . Heartbreakingly honest." San Francisco Chronicle
"Bold, even breathtaking. You get the sense [the] characters are bursting through the words, breaking free of normal metaphors and constructions, jubilantly trying to rise up from the prison of language . . . The book celebrates art s capacity to heal, but it also shows us how we excavate meaning from the art we cherish, and how we find reflections of ourselves within it. . . . I ll Give You the Sun is a dazzling mirror." Lauren Oliver for the New York Times Book Review
"Both structurally virtuosic . . . and emotionally wrenching. That alone is a rare combination in literature, YA or otherwise. But then add in the characters . . . This book is a rebuttal to anyone suggesting YA, because it tells stories of young people, is somehow of lesser stuff. I ll Give You The Sun is literature. Full stop. In my opinion, it s not just the best YA book of

the year, but one of the best books of the year." Gayle Forman for Parade
"This book is many things at once, all of them engrossing. It's a book where teenagers think in almost indulgently poetic language while still sounding genuinely adolescent. It's two separate but equally intoxicating love stories. . . . Most of all, it's the mystery of what happened to tear Noah and Jude apart, and what if anything can bring them back together again." NPR's Guide to 2014's Great Reads
"This book is about many things: grief, sexuality, creativity, bravery, identity, guilt. But mostly it's about love.

Because this book will make you realise how beautiful words can be." The Guardian
