Louder Than Hunger

There is a voice in Jake's head that says: You are worthless. You can't eat anything. You only have me. The voice is louder than his growling stomach, louder than his mother's worries, and louder than his grandma when she tells him she loves him. Because at school, Jake is bullied, and he feels unsupported by his parents. He wishes he could just disappear. When he is taken to a clinic for eating disorders, Jake refuses to cooperate. But deep inside him, another voice suddenly speaks up, saying: You need help, Jake. Otherwise, you will die. It is a long journey with many setbacks, but Jake has decided to live. John Schu finds powerful words for this story about eating disorders, which affect about 50,000 teenagers in Germany. The unique design and the profound impact of the content make this book a deeply moving reading experience.
