Marthas Eltern gehören einer Sekte an. Das hat verheerende Auswirkungen auf ihre Kindheit: Kein Fernsehen, kein PC, keine coolen Klamotten. In der Schule ist sie das Gespött ihrer Mitschüler. Aber das Schlimmste: Niemand darf sie zu Hause besuchen, denn im Keller ist ein furchtbares Familiengeheimnis versteckt. Erst als die nun Zwölfjährige einen neuen Mitschüler zum Freund gewinnt, nimmt der Lauf der Dinge eine erstaunliche Wendung. Diese provokante Geschichte wird in aktueller Jugendsprache abwechselnd aus der Sicht der beiden Protagonisten erzählt. Ausführlich annotiert. Einsetzbar ab Klasse 9 (Klasse 10 Realschule). 104 Seiten
Snapshot er målrettet elever i 8.-10. klasse. I got four shots. The two guys as they ran back to the car. The driver as he yelled at them to get a move on. The car as it began to move off, with the axeman’s head and arm still outside. The last picture was of the car coming straight at me. The driver had spotted me and my camera. Smile please – only he wasn’t smiling. He was bent low over the steering wheel, curled up like some sort of psycho.
Klick. Så enkelt är det. Att ta en bild. Att förändra ett liv. Victor hade inga planer på att bli inblandad. Men om man har en kamera och blir vittne till något underligt så knäpper man ett kort, eller hur? Inget konstigt med det. Men tänk om man har råkat fotografera ett brott? Och att någon nu vill förstöra fotona - till varje pris? En jakt drar igång på stadens gator, och hans förföljare skyr inga medel för att nå sitt mål. Kommer Victor att lyckas överleva? En spännande och lättläst ungdomsbok av den flerfaldigt prisbelönade författaren Robert Swindells.

The general reading public is likely to think of architecture as buildings. But, with this book, Robert Steinberg would like to help readers understand that architecture shapes lives. Architecture can help communities integrate and thrive. Architecture can touch us, influencing how we feel, and how we interact with others. In short, architecture can fundamentally improve our quality of life. As a young graduate architect fresh from Berkeley, Steinberg began to discover the potential of architecture to shape communities. Working with his father, an architect who had studied with Mies van der Roe (and whose father was also an architect), one of Steinberg’s first projects was to draft and redraft a parking garage in downtown Silicon Valley, CA. As he mediated between the two architects in charge of the project — his father and the city architect — he noticed that with each evolution, the garage became more beautiful and refined. And with each improvement, this garage became more able to succeed in the goal of reviving the dying downtown core of Silicon Valley. The garage was a huge success, and Steinberg began to codify what he had learned. Thanks to the garage, he wrote the first of what would become the 9 Realities of Architecture: Architecture is the Pursuit of Perfection — a magnificent take-away from a humble parking garage project. As Steinberg eventually rose to become CEO of his firm and grew it into a global practice with six regional offices including Austin and New York, and a major office in Shanghai, he used his drive for creating thriving communities to eventually touch the lives of countless people around the world.
In the novel's Preface, the Author states: "In a few short words, the content of the book is this: A boy dedicates himself to the clerical profession with the fire of childlike enthusiasm, the youth goes astray in his profession, and the man, 'because not all flowering dreams ripened, ' has the notion of giving it up and 'fleeing to the desert.' Yet Heaven has decided otherwise. With resignation he comes back to himself and begins again to believe in his calling. Besides this, everything which is presented in the book belongs partly to the characteristics of the hero appearing in it, partly to the characteristics of our time chiefly with regard to religious, ecclesiastical, and especially clerical matters."
