Yasmin Shakarami brings "Shadowlight" to the City Library Bad Aibling
Literature becomes an immediate encounter: On Friday, October 30, 2026, Yasmin Shakarami will read for registered 9th grade classes from her young adult novel Shadowlight. The reading takes place as part of the Bad Aibling Literature Days at the city library and combines exciting storytelling with an authentic literary experience.
Between First Love and Dark Secrets
The story centers on Billie, who believes she has found her great love in Jamie. To be close to him, she spends her last school year with her aunt Floh in Maple Ridge, a small Canadian town nestled between fog-covered mountains and gloomy forests. There she meets Tristan, who has changed after a severe tragedy and is only referred to as "Zombie Boy" by the people around him.
As Billie searches for her own way amidst romantic expectations, new friendships, and growing distrust, the image of the perfect dream prince begins to falter. At the same time, the mysterious disappearance of a girl shakes the entire community. Shakarami combines elements of young adult literature, love story, and suspense into an atmospheric narrative about trust, loss, and self-determination.
Literary Encounter for Young Readers
The reading offers students direct access to contemporary youth literature. Voice, language, and the intimate atmosphere of an author encounter illustrate how characters are created, tension is built, and literary quality arises from emotional accuracy. For the school routine, the event provides a lively impulse for promoting reading and cultural discourse on love, identity, and responsibility.
