An outcast in his class, the shy and awkward Oskar is hopelessly in love with the wild and beautiful Anna Kovacs. But one day Oscar sends a story to a literary competition and becomes famous throughout the city. It seems that Morten Sanden, a Swedish writer and social psychologist, knows the secret of how really good teen literature is made — combining clarity and depth, without moralizing, but also without flirting, talking about what is important for teenagers (and what to do with them). parents want, but maybe they don’t dare to talk). There are also classic for this age experiences of a talented and shy «ugly duckling», and social problems (there is only one school in a small Swedish town, so children from poor and rich families study in the same class and manage to fall in love with each other), and the first sexual experience. Among Swedish teenagers, Sanden’s books are very popular. Now Russian schoolchildren can also appreciate them.
