Der süßeste Bruder der Welt ... und andere Irrtümer
Der süßeste Bruder der Welt ... und andere IrrtümerbyElin Lindell
Translation: Katharina Erben
Klett Kinderbuch
Danica, known as Dani, is actually quite happy with her single mum; all she knows about her dad is his donor code. The only thing missing from her happiness is a little sibling. Getting on her nerves doesn’t help, nor do statistical arguments; distracting her, threatening her, bribing her … none of it seems to work … But then one day, suddenly, the news arrives: ‘You’re getting a sibling, Dani!’ But where on earth will he come from? Björn, Dani’s mother’s new husband, brings Joschi – a spotty, greasy-haired, pubescent goth – into the family. And yet she had hoped for a very different kind of brother. In her captivating comic, the multi-award-winning Swedish journalist and children’s author Elin Lindell tells the story – with plenty of offbeat humour and a natural ease – of a perfectly ordinary blended family, of origins, friendship and togetherness, of embarrassing yoga sessions and dating apps, of how to mess up a parent-teacher meeting, and of how, in the end, you become a sister after all.
