‘Poetic and engaging about a great challenge for a 9 year old …Hagerup has written a rock solid novel that talks straight to its audience, and at the same time allows them to chew on more than other easy reader’s books tend to do. That takes great talent.’
Dagbladet
‘…a language so fresh that it is a delight (…) it is well done to let Sara live out her frustrations without me as a reader loosing the sympathy for her.’
