Night Sky

Sofia Nordin

It all started with a vacuum, a vacuum after my best friend Adina who had just moved and changed school. There was a hole in the air where she ought to have been. But then Jesper turned up in class. And even though I still feel a sort of creepy chill when I think about Adina, I don’t think I would have found Jesper if Adina had still been living here. And I mean really found. I wouldn’t have missed noticing him in class, of course, but if Adina had still been my best friend, then Jesper had probably been nobody.

Tilda is painfully aware of who she is and she lives in a family where everybody keeps silent behind closed doors. Then she meets Jesper, he is a joyful, outgoing and passionate person, and he is into LARP. Before, Tilda had dismissed LARP-people as emo-kids playing at fairy tales in the woods, but Jesper has shown her that LARP can be just about anything–a family dinner, a party, a medieval battle.

An extremely well written book about finding yourself–and daring to be what you are.
