Before the Sky Falls Down

Katarina von Bredow

Casper pours himself a cup of coffee and sits down at the table. Leah hands over the knife and his fingertips brush against her hand as he takes it. They are cool, probably after the bike ride in the morning air, but they still send a small pulse of heat through her arm and all the way behind her ribs. She quickly pulls her hand away and sits down in the chair across the table. What was that? With him of all people?!

Leah and Casper are definitely not part of the same crowd at school. She has her LAVA gang (Leah, Aure, Vilda, Astrid) and Casper is with the role-playing nerds. Their worlds never meet. At least that’s what Leah thinks, until chance – or fate – wants otherwise. For an entire week of work experience activities, she will have to put up with Casper at the same grocery store. But Casper makes her laugh, and talk about life. Suddenly, Leah feels a lot of emotions she’s never felt before. But what will it be like after work experience week, when they’re back in reality again?

A delightful feelgood story for young adults! Genuine characters and complicated situations that offer an entertaining read and great identification.
