Atlas, Elena und das Ende der Welt

Elena is fleeing. Atlas is waiting. They meet at the end of the world.

The summer is scorching hot, and all Elena wants is to get away. As quickly as possible. A single video post on her social media account was enough to catapult the 13-year-old into a viral shitstorm. Not a day goes by without hate comments and vicious bullying attacks. Her aunt's remote farm becomes Elena's last refuge. On her way there, she throws away her phone and cuts off her long hair.

At the farm, she meets the reserved and distrustful Atlas. He has boarded up the windows of his bedroom and disappears into the darkness for hours at night. Elena is eager to know why he shuts himself off from the world. What has he experienced, and how can she reach him?

“Elena, Atlas, and the End of the World is one of Anna Woltz's best books to date. A multi-layered and well-composed story where contemporary themes converge without being overly forceful or moralizing.” Smart, warm-hearted, and filled with humor, told from two perspectives: a touching friendship story about two teenagers who must face significant challenges while feeling a deep connection to each other.
