The White Lie

Katarina von Bredow

Hedvig has moved to a new town and started at a new school. She has to learn how everything works there. Luckily, she has her best friend Ika to talk to in the evenings. But cool Molly in the new class thinks Ika is Hedvig’s boyfriend – Hedvig didn’t mean for it to sound like that, it was just a misunderstanding. After only a week in the new class, the little white lie has grown too big, and there’s no way to reveal the truth anymore without ruining everything. And that’s when Ika comes to visit. Is Hedvig going to lose both her best friend and her new friends now?

This is the first book about 11-year old Hedvig – books about tangled friendships, identity, social media, and everyday drama by one of Sweden’s most praised children’s book authors.

Katarina von Bredow has written almost thirty books for children and young adults. She writes poignantly about love, friendship, bullying and family relations, and her books have been loved by generations of readers.
