Karin Karlsson, middle-school teacher, hates children. Her main purpose and talent in life is dominating all her pupils so that they feel small and worthless – and her methods are refined to say the least! When she gets three new pupils in her class, she decides to show them their place straight away. At first it goes well. Very well! But then things come to a sudden halt...
Petter Lidbeck is an author who trusts his readers – even though they are children. Or precisely because of that.
A challenging and really sharp book that is merciless in the way it reveals many of the ways that adults – deliberately or otherwise – use to degrade children and make them feel ridiculous.
• A funny, thought-provoking, crazy and outspoken book about mean behaviour, oppression, love and revenge! A book that stands on the side of the children, and strikes back. Really hard!
• A broadside in the spirit of Roald Dahl!
