Esther s father is agoraphobic and hasn t left the basement in six years, her twin brother can t be in the dark without a light on, and her mother is terrified of bad luck.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The Solars are consumed by their fears and, according to the legend of the curse, destined to die from them.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Esther doesn t know what her great fear is yet (nor does she want to), a feat achieved by avoiding pretty much everything. Elevators, small spaces and crowds are all off-limits. So are haircuts, spiders, dolls, mirrors and three dozen other phobias she keeps a record of in her semi-definitive list of worst nightmares.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Then Esther is pickpocketed by Jonah Smallwood, an old elementary school classmate. Along with her phone, money and a fruit roll-up she d been saving, Jonah also steals her list of fears. Despite the theft, Esther and Jonah become friends, and he sets a challenge for them: in an effort to break the curse that has crippled her family, they will meet every Sunday of senior year to work their way through the list, facing one terrifying fear at a time, including one that Esther hadn t counted on: love.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eKrystal Sutherland was born and raised in Townsville, Australia an inhospitable land where crocodiles, snakes, and jellyfish are always on the prowl. She grew up living directly across the road from the local library and spent almost every day after school (and weekends, too) having adventures between the pages of books (mainly because it was too dangerous to go outside).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e She moved to Sydney for college (and safety), where she cut her writing teeth as the editor of the student magazine at the University of New South Wales. She kept gathering tales as an exchange student in Hong Kong and as a foreign correspondent in Amsterdam. Her first book, \u003ci\u003eOur Chemical Hearts\u003c\/i\u003e, was released in 2016, and was published in over twenty countries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Her three greatest fears are heights, dark caves . . . and (perhaps worst of all) frogs.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWeitere Angaben\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBuch (Paperback), Englisch, 416 Seiten\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weltbild.ch: Bücher \u0026 Outlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63439041823069,"sku":"K096036820","price":11.9,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/8915\/0045\/files\/224560-9603682000001A.jpg?v=1771136636","url":"https:\/\/weltbild.ch\/products\/a-semi-definitive-list-of-worst-nightmares-krystal-sutherland","provider":"Weltbild.ch: Bücher \u0026 Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
