Alice Oseman

Matka Charlien ja Nickin maailmaan!Suureen suosioon nousseen Heartstopperin luonut kirjailija-kuvittaja Alice Oseman johdattaa lukijansa kulissien taakse kirjassa, jossa kerrotaan sarjakuvien synnystä, suosikkihahmoista sekä käännekohdista matkan varrelta.Vuonna 2013 Alice Oseman luonnosteli ensimmäistä kertaa Charlien ja Nickin eikä osannut arvata, että vuosikymmentä myöhemmin hahmot seikkailisivat myös tv-sarjassa. Kirjassa pääsemme seuraamaan Heartstopperin matkaa alusta aina tähän päivään asti, ja päähenkilöiden lisäksi tutuiksi tulevat myös sarjan muu henkilökaarti. Alicen ohjeilla voi oppia piirtämään Heartstopper-hahmoja, ja lukija voi testata, muistuttaako hän enemmän Nickiä vai Charliea. Mukana on myös uusia minisarjiksia, ikimuistoisia hetkiä vuosien varrelta sekä tietenkin paljon Pride-iloa."Heartstopper ei pysäytä sydäntä vaan saa sen lyömään nopeammin. Rakastuin tähän lämpöä ja toivoa täynnä olevaan sarjakuvaan heti ensimmäiseltä sivulta!" Kirjailija Salla SimukkaKirjailija-kuvittaja Alice Oseman on yksi aikamme merkittävistä äänistä, jonka luoma maailma on poikkeuksellisen ajankohtainen nuorille juuri nyt. Romaaneissaan ja Heartstopper-sarjassaan hän tavoittaa samaistuttavasti ja voimaannuttavasti nuorten koko tunnemaailman kirjon: epävarmuuden, ystävyyden, ensirakastumisen ja identiteetin etsimisen.Oseman syntyi Kentissä Englannissa 1994. Hänen esikoisromaaninsa Yksinpeli (Solitaire) julkaistiin, kun hän oli vasta 19-vuotias. Myöhemmin Osemanilta on ilmestynyt myös kolme muuta nuorten aikuisten romaania ja kaksi pienoisromaania. Syksyllä 2016 nettisarjakuvina alkanut Heartstopper oli hänen läpimurtonsa, ja nyt Charlien ja Nickin tarinaa voi seurata myös Netflix-sarjassa.

A short novella based on the beloved characters from Alice Oseman’s acclaimed debut novel Solitaire and graphic novel series Heartstopper – now a major Netflix series. From the author of the 2021 YA Book Prize winning Loveless. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? CHARLIE: “I have been going out with Nick Nelson for two years. He likes rugby, Formula 1, dogs, the Marvel universe, the sound felt-tips make on paper, rain and drawing on shoes. He also likes me.” NICK: “Things me and Charlie Spring do together include: Watch films. Sit in the same room on different laptops. Text each other from different rooms. Make out. Make food. Make drinks. Get drunk. Talk. Argue. Laugh. Maybe we're kind of boring. But that’s fine with us.” Everyone knows that Nick and Charlie are the perfect couple – that they’re inseparable. But now Nick is leaving for university, and Charlie will be left behind at Sixth Form. Everyone’s asking if they’re staying together, which is a stupid question – they’re ‘Nick and Charlie’ for God’s sake! But as the time to say goodbye gets inevitably closer, both Nick and Charlie question whether their love is strong enough to survive being apart. Or are they delaying the inevitable? Because everyone knows that first loves rarely last forever…

Aika esittää tavallista perhettä.Heartstopper-sarjakuvaromaaneista ja Netflix-sarjasta tutun Charlie Springin joulumieli on kateissa. Hänellä on ollut rankka talvi, ja lähestyvä joulu nostaa ahdistuksen pintaan.Joulu ei ole kaikille iloista aikaa. Charlie on kamppaillut syömishäiriönsä kanssa, ja juhlapyhät aterioineen tuntuvat ylitsepääsemättömiltä. Isosisko Tori yrittää olla pikkuveljensä tukena, mutta Charlie lähtee viettämään joulua Nickin luo. Onko poikaystävänkään luona silti helpompaa?Alice Osemanin miniromaanissa tarinaa kerrotaan Torin, Charlien ja Charlien pikkuveljenkin näkökulmasta, ja joulupäivä tuo mukanaan uusia oivalluksia.TORI: Ajattelin ennen, että tylsyys on vielä pahempaa kuin vaikeudet, mutta nyt olen toista mieltä. Viime kuukausiin on mahtunut paljon vaikeita päiviä. Niitä oli ihan liikaa. Päätän olla ajattelematta niitä, Charlieta ja itseäni, kaikkea meitä ympäröivää surua. Aion sulkea sen kaiken mielestäni. Ihan vain täksi päiväksi.”Hyvää joulua”, toivotan.Kirjailija-kuvittaja Alice Oseman on yksi aikamme merkittävistä äänistä, jonka luoma maailma on poikkeuksellisen ajankohtainen nuorille juuri nyt.

Hän uskoo syntyneensä kyynisenä ja sadetta toivoen, eikä hän tarvitse elämäänsä ketään. Pelkkä ajatus ystävyydestä ahdistaa, ja Tori torjuu niin lapsuudenkaverinsa Lucasin kuin Michaelinkin lähestymisyritykset. Toisaalta heitä kaikkia kuitenkin yhdistää salaperäinen Yksinpeli-blogi, joka aiheuttaa hämmennystä koululla. Kuka on yhä rajummiksi muuttuvien pilojen takana, ja miksei Tori vain voi antaa asian olla?Minun nimeni on Victoria Spring. Tykkään nukkua ja blogata. Viime vuonna minulla oli vielä ystäviä. Kaikki oli silloin toisin, mutta se on mennyttä se.Nyt on Solitaire. Ja Michael Holden.En tajua, mitä Solitaire yrittää.
