One morning Måns wakes up with dirty feet and hair in his mouth. He soon understands that he has been walking in his sleep, but doesn’t understand why everybody makes such a big deal out of it. It’s not that bad, is it?
But his mom seems to think so, she even wants him to go to boarding school! Not that it matters that much, he doesn’t really have any friends in class anyway. At the new school everybody seems nice, but there are a lot of strange things. Why do they lock some students up in the evening, and why are there bars in front of the windows? And why does everybody on the school premises need to wear a cross around their neck?
Mårten Melin makes the supernatural elements feel real. The story is funny, romantic and shocking.
