Nothing helps against anxiety like best friends!
Elli and Jaro have been inseparable for almost forever. They live in the same house and finally don’t want to be afraid anymore. Neither of deep water nor of dogs. Maybe it will work if they just go to the lake with Otto, the neighbour’s dog. But before Elli and Jaro can face their fears, they have a huge row. Does this have anything to do with Tami, the new girl from the second floor? In any case, a lot has to happen before they can realise their plan. But then they dare and let their jitters shrink to the size of their trouser pockets. And that feels pretty good.
Josefine Sonneson writes sensitively and authentically about the big issues that affect children and young people. Her ability to capture complex feelings in clear, poetic language lends her works a special urgency.
A touching book about the power of friendship and the courage to face new situations.
