Autor Adiba Jaigirdar
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 ian 2023 – vârsta până la 15 ani
Four friends have stolen aboard the Titanic. They're after the Rubaiyat - a book inlaid with priceless jewels. Josefa is a charismatic thief, Hinnah a daring acrobat, Violet an outstanding actress and Emilie a talented artist.

It is Josefa's plan, but she needs all of their skills. Despite their very different backgrounds, in a world of first-class passengers and suspicious crew members, the girls must work together to pull off the heist of their lives.

But careless mistakes, old grudges and new romances threaten to jeopardise everything they've worked towards. And with the Titanic sailing ever further north, the girls' chances of survival are a million to one...

A heart-pounding, romantic adventure from the author of Hani and Ishu's Fake Guide to Dating.

Notă biografică

Adiba Jaigirdar is the award-winning, critically-acclaimed and bestselling author of The Henna Wars, Hani & Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating, and A Million to One. A Bangladeshi/Irish writer and former teacher, she has an MA in Postcolonial Studies from the University of Kent, England and a BA in English and History from UCD, Ireland.


She is the winner of the YA book prize 2022, the KPMG Children's Books Ireland Awards 2021, and was a finalist for the 2022 Lambda Literary awards. All of her writing is aided by tea, and a healthy dose of Janelle Monáe and Hayley Kiyoko.


When not writing, she is probably ranting about the ills of colonialism, playing video games, or expanding her overflowing lipstick collection.

Recenzii

"Fast-paced and gripping. Adiba Jaigirdar has crafted an extraordinary heist following four girls who use their unique talents to steal a prize—and find courage within themselves."  — Chloe Gong, New York Times Bestselling author of These Violent Delights
"Exhilarating, heart-wrenching, and unforgettable. Every page of Adiba Jaigirdar’s A Million to One glitters like the Titanic itself, with all the exquisite tension of a first kiss—or an impossible heist." — Olivie Blake, author of The Atlas Six
"A Million to One is a fast-paced adventure with rich historical details and so much heart. Even with tragedy looming, I loved spending time with these four brave, brilliant girls."  — Jordyn Taylor, author of The Paper Girl of Paris and Don't Breathe a Word
“Four young women board the Titanic to steal a rare, gem-studded copy of the Rubaiyat, the classic book of Persian poetry…. [B]rief chapters in alternating perspectives reveal conflicting interests, hidden motives, and mutual pining. A countdown in the chapter headings adds a sense of urgency—will the girls succeed before time runs out? A character-driven story that builds to a dramatic end.” — Kirkus Reviews
“An underlying sapphic romance and a racially and ethnically diverse cast lend a refreshing dynamic to the familiar backdrop.” — Publishers Weekly
