Cursed Curriculum

Klaus and his mother have just moved to Oslo. They are both going to start at the same school; Klaus as a student, his mother as a school counsellor. But even before Klaus gets a chance to meet his new classmates, weird things begin to happen. A boy gets killed in a tube accident, and Klaus by coincidence finds his electronic diary. Klaus begins to doubt whether the boy’s death really was an accident. And while he is digging for the truth, he gets caught in a dangerous game where nothing is like it seems. In this game, Klaus has no one he can trust. Not even himself …

Harald Rosenløw Eeg’s ninth novel is a suspenseful, chilling and attention-grabbing thriller.

«There is something liberating about Rosenløw Eegs sincerity. He dares to touch the big feelings, both the light pink and the dark grey ones. He dares to speak in capital letters. There are many embarrassing tripwires in the genre of heartfelt novels for young adults, but Rosenløw Eeg manages to skip most of them.» (Dagsavisen)

«He creates novelistic art, which for different reasons is especially interesting for young adults, but which most of all is great literature … Is there another Norwegian author born in 1970 or later with more spunk and talent than Harald Rosenløw Eeg? Once again he knocks the readers out completely with his talent for dramaturgy and design, which makes him both a raw and tender voice of our time.» (Aftenposten)

«This is the creepiest book I have read in a long time. It’s claustrophobic, anxiety-inducing and blacker than the snowless December evening outside. It deals with psychological pressure, hidden networks and it all ends in death.»
