" Rezension(3): " Publisher's Weekly : September 5, 2022 Wilson ( Nothing to See Here ) spins a delightful story of two aspiring artists in small-town Tennessee. It’s 1996 when Frankie Bulger, an outcast who dreams of becoming a writer, meets Zeke, also 16, who is new to town. Together they make a poster with the cryptic line “The edge is a shantytown filled with gold seekers. We are fugitives, and the law is skinny with hunger for us.” Thrilled at their creation, Frankie and Zeke make hundreds of copies of it on a photocopier stolen by Frankie’s triplet brothers, then post them around town. Copycats begin doing the same, and before long, local and national newspapers report on the panic caused by the posters, fashion brands reproduce the slogan on T-shirts, and tourists arrive in droves. Frankie and Zeke keep their involvement a secret until 22 years later, when a journalist finds out Frankie’s role. Confronted with the possibility of her secret coming out, Frankie goes on a quest to come clean with her family and reconnect with old friends. Wilson ably captures Frankie and her peers’ adolescent confusion and the creative power of like-minded teens, and his coming-of-age story is ripe with wisdom about what art means in the modern age. It adds up to a surprisingly touching time capsule of youth in the ’90s. Agent: Julie Barer, Book Group. " Rezension(4): "AudioFile Magazine:Narrator Ginnifer Goodwin expertly matches the author's intensity in this singular novel, which delves into the depths of friendship and art. When Frankie receives a phone call threatening to unravel a decades-old secret, she flashes back to the summer when she was a smart, introverted, somewhat sad girl of 16. That was the summer she met Zeke, a new boy with a similar nature. Together, they secretly create a work of art to wake up their sleepy Tennessee town. Goodwin captures the quiet urgency of the teens as they create a masterful poster. When the poster becomes a sensation and takes on unintended meanings, Goodwin expresses Frankie's continuing artistic fervor and Zeke's fear of dangerous consequences. Once released into the world, can art--or youth--be reclaimed? L.T. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award � AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine"
