Reviews
"Beautifully written coming of age story which doesn't flinch at the struggles between siblings but shows the power of unconditional love." --YABC "Set against the magic and possibility of Paris, Christiansen's emotional debut not only reminds us of the challenges that come with loving someone as they are, but also, the incomparable beauty." --Ashley Herring Blake, author of How to Make a Wish "A touching, relevant story about siblings, autism, and unconditional love. Beautifully written, compelling, and honest." --Marci Lyn Curtis, author of The One Thing "Readers will swoon over the delicious descriptions of Paris . . . but will ultimately find that Keira's emotional journey covers even more ground than her physical one, in a story that focuses on a complex, yet tender, sibling relationship." --Jen Malone, author of Wanderlost " Maybe in Paris captures all the excitement of youthful obsession--with a city or a boy--while offering a touching depiction of the bonds we too often take for granted. Few books about teen sibling relationships capture their ups and painful downs so frankly." --Margot Harrison, author of The Killer in Me "Heartbreaking but hopeful, Maybe in Paris is a wonderful debut with a beautiful setting, complicated, yet realistic sibling relationship, and a dash of romance." --Chantele Sedgwick, author of Love, Lucas and Switching Gears "Good YA depends on great voice, and Rebecca Christiansen brings it to bear. She announces herself as a voice to be reckoned with in the very first pages of Maybe in Paris and doesn't relent. A welcome debut sure to launch a million fans." --Tom Leveen, author of Shackled and Random, "Set against the magic and possibility of Paris, Christiansen's emotional debut not only reminds us of the challenges that come with loving someone as they are, but also, the incomparable beauty." -Ashley Herring Blake, author of How to Make a Wish "A touching, relevant story about siblings, autism, and unconditional love.

Synopsis
Keira Braidwood lands in Paris with her autistic brother, Levi, and high hopes. Levi has just survived a suicide attempt and months in the psych ward--he's ready for a dose of the wider world. Unlike their helicopter mom and the doctors who hover over Levi, Keira doesn't think Levi's certifiable. He's just . . . quirky. Always has been. Those quirks quickly begin to spoil the trip. Keira wants to traipse all over Europe; Levi barely wants to leave their grubby hotel room. She wants to dine on the world's cuisine; he only wants fast food. Levi is one giant temper tantrum, and Keira's ready to pull out her own hair. She finally finds the adventure she craves in Gable, a hot Scottish bass player, but while Keira flirts in the Paris Catacombs, Levi's mental health breaks. He disappears from their hotel room and Keira realizes, too late, that her brother is sicker than she was willing to believe. To bring him home safe, Keira must tear down the wall that Levi's sickness and her own guilt have built between them., Age range 12 & up Keira Braidwood lands in Paris with her autistic brother, Levi, and high hopes.

- r***g (244)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBook was "nearly new" and "as described" in listing. The advertised price was fair and a good value. Unfortunately, the seller's shipping partner was very slow to get the book packaged and shipped. Shipping took too long, and the tracking info gave no reliable info on shipping date, time in transit or expected delivery. Seller did everything right, but their shipping partner needs improvement. I recommend this seller to other eBay buyers....... just make sure you're okay with the shipping terms.
- e***u (283)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.
- a***a (419)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis 2DVD set is in perfect condition. Cover art and case like new. Both DVDs played with no flaws. Description was listed as “Good”; I would describe it as “Very Good”, basically Like New. Delivery was super fast and packaging was excellent. The DVD case was wrapped well, then put in a cardboard envelope that was sturdy and hard to open (this is NOT a negative!). I have purchased from this company a few times and have always been very satisfied. Prices are great.
