어느날 밤 예상치 못한 사건으로 인해, 미국 동부의 한적한 농촌마을에서 양떼를 기르며 사는 13세 소녀 나일의 삶에 커다란 변화가 일어납니다. 인근의 원자력발전소에서 사고가 발생해서 방사능이 누출되는 바람에 주변 지역이 오염되고, 가까운 사람들이 방사능에 피폭되는 일이 벌어진 것입니다. 나일의 평범했던 삶은 방호마스크와 방호복을 입어야 하고, 피난을 가야하며, 오염된 음식, 그리고 혼란과 불신이 팽배한 삶으로의 극적인 변화가 일어난 것입니다. 나일의 집에는 방사선에 노출된 에즈라 가족이 피난을 와서 살게 되고, 나일은 영웅적인 행동이 아닌 친절함으로 파괴와 절망의 분위기 속에서 사랑과 희망을 싹트게 합니다...

Book Description
Pulling my radiation mask out of my pocket, my rough hands snagged the fine gauze. How could such a thin weave protect me from death? You can’t see radiation, or smell it, or feel it. Could a mask stop it so easily?
Nyle’s life with her grandmother on their Vermont sheep farm advances rhythmically through the seasons until the night of the accident at the Cookshire nuclear power plant. Without warning, Nyle’s modest world fills with protective masks, evacuations, contaminated food, disruptions, and mistrust. Things become even more complicated when Ezra Trent and his mother, refugees from the heart of the accident, take temporary shelter in the back bedroom of Nyle’s house. The back bedroom is the dying room: It took her mother when Nyle was six; it stole away her grandfather just two years ago. Now, Ezra is back there and Nyle doesn’t want to open her heart to him. Too many times she’s let people in, only to have them desert her. If she lets herself care for Ezra, she knows he’ll end up leaving her, too.
Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
In a starred review, PW noted that "the author's understated approach heightens the emotional impact" of this tale about a girl forced to confront loss after a nuclear accident.
Kirkus Reviews, Pointer
Hesse transcends the specific to illuminate universal questions of responsibility, care, and love. . . . Hesse portrays her characters’ anguish and their growing tenderness with such unwavering clarity and grace that she sustains the tension of her lyrical, understated narrative right to her stunning, beautifully wrought conclusion.
Voice of Youth Advocates
Hesse in Phoenix Rising deals with the effects of a leak at a nuclear plant, a young girl’s awakening sexuality, the meaning of friendship, the strength of family ties, and the courage to love—and she does this with a grace and power that could make her novel ‘a favorite’ with younger teens. |
