About the book

In the middle of a party, Marina suddenly decides to leave. Frustrated by social expectations, uncomfortable with the endless cycle of likes, selfies, and self-promotion, and increasingly detached from her peers and the adult world, she embarks on an impulsive journey with no clear destination. A beautiful-sounding town, a distant country, or simply anywhere but where she is. As she travels through the city, Marina searches for a place where she can truly belong and learn to see the world through her own eyes.

Written by Luana Chnaiderman de Almeida, Flight transforms the dilemmas of adolescence into a thoughtful and original literary journey. Moving effortlessly from family conflicts to insects, from Moby-Dick to the notion of infinity, Marina’s voice is witty, restless, and deeply philosophical. Her reflections on identity, friendship, freedom, and happiness give the novel a distinctive tone that resonates far beyond its coming-of-age premise.

Catarina Bessell’s illustrations complement the story’s reflective atmosphere, accompanying Marina’s physical and emotional journey with visual sensitivity. Together, text and image create a novel that captures the uncertainties and discoveries of adolescence while inviting readers to question conventions, embrace curiosity, and define their own place in the world.
