About the Book

Una historia de amor y de amistad y de segundas oportunidades que transmite ganas de vivir y de aprovechar el momento. Porque la vida continúa, hasta que deja de hacerlo... Lane, un chico decidido a llegar lejos, siempre ha vivido pensando en el mañana... hasta que le diagnostican una enfermedad incurable. De un día para otro, es ingresado en Latham, un centro para adolescentes en cuarentena.

Allí se reencontrará con Sadie, una chica fascinante y atrevida que sigue ofendida por un desplante que él le dio años atrás (cuando Sadie era una chica más bien aburrida). Ella y sus excéntricos amigos enseñarán a Lane a saltarse las reglas y vivir el momento pero, ¿qué te queda cuando no tienes tiempo?

En Latham, Lane descubrirá el amor, las ganas de vivir, y puede que hasta el milagro de las segundas oportunidades.

Reseñas:
«Un libro lleno de momentos cercanos y de diálogos ágiles.»
The New York Times

«Estrafalaria, inteligente y divertida. Maravillosamente bien narrada.»
School Library Journal

LANE «Sadie encabezaba la marcha cargada con una cámara en bandolera que debía de costar un pico. Nick también estaba allí, con sus gafas de pasta brillando al sol. Detrás aparecieron el punk, que parecía el cantante de un grupo de rock con sus vaqueros de pitillo y sus botas Doc Martens, y una chica alta que se sacudía hojas secas de un vaporoso vestido de encaje, como si acabara de abandonar el escenario de una función escolar. Se dirigían a las residencias caminando a grandes zancadas, como si aquel lugar les perteneciera y, en aquel momento, así era.
»No se me había pasado por la cabeza que pudiera encontrarme con alguien conocido en Latham, que algún rostro fuera a sonarme allí, en las montañas de Santa Cruz, a cientos de kilómetros de casa. Sin embargo, cuanto más lopensaba, más horriblemente lógico me parecía.»
SADIE «Yo nunca había tenido un grupo de amigos como aquel en el instituto. Jamás habríamos congeniado. Charlie habría sido un solitario incomprendido. Nick se dedicaría en cuerpo y alma a los juicios simulados como si fueran algo más que un pretencioso grupo de teatro. Marina se habría unido a los típico frikis que ven Doctor Who y llevan sombreros interesantes. Y yo... Bueno. Yo seguiría con las tres chicas que conocí en segundo, las mismas que se fijaban en chicos poco recomendables y que me consideraban esa amiga graciosilla con la que se disculpaban una y otra vez por haber salido en parejas sin ella.
»Sin embargo, Latham nos había reinventado. Nos había convertido en personas originales, más interesantes, más atractivas de lo que habríamos sido en cualquier otra parte.»

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

John Green's The Fault in Our Stars meets Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor & Park in this darkly funny novel from the critically acclaimed author of The Beginning of Everything.

Up until his diagnosis, Lane lived a fairly predictable life. But when he finds himself at a tuberculosis sanatorium called Latham House, he discovers an insular world with paradoxical rules, med sensors, and an eccentric yet utterly compelling confidante named Sadie--and life as Lane knows it will never be the same.

Robyn Schneider's Extraordinary Means is a heart-wrenching yet ultimately hopeful story about the miracles of first love and second chances.
