In the middle of English, Pi collapses to the floor. She faints for only a few seconds, but in that moment everything changes. For a long time, she has been paralyzed by an incomprehensible fear, she is constantly under pressure, and now the anxiety has become so severe that she needs to take a break. Her parents are sure that she will soon get better, and her friends also send her kind messages with wishes for a speedy recovery. Pi's world brightens up when neighbors with their own problems unexpectedly enter her life: Vicky with a developmental disability, single mother Bianca and Gillian Brown, an elderly lady preparing for a birthday party. The everyday hustle and bustle of completely ordinary people opens up a completely new perspective on the world for Pi.
130 Beats Per Minute is a gripping young adult novel about anxiety, but also about the moving power of a connected community that develops on Pija's home staircase. (taken from the synopsis of Miš Publishing House)
