Electric Fish
Emma, along with her mother and siblings, has to move from Dublin to Germany's rural Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. She misses Ireland, the Atlantic, and her Irish grandparents. Even the Baltic Sea is no consolation. Emma wants only one thing: to return to Ireland as soon as possible. Levin, a boy in her new class who's facing his own problems, offers to help her. But after a while, it seems he doesn't really want her to leave. Emma, too, gradually begins to doubt the merits of her escape plan...
• a book about homesickness, feeling uprooted, and the myriad ways of being a stranger
