Product Description

Product Description

Joel is growing up. He is getting interested in girls. Just look at his New Year's resolutions: to see a naked lady, to toughen himself up so that he can live to be a hundred, and to see the sea. They all look pretty impossible for a motherless boy in Northern Sweden. Especially as his sailor dad is keen to drown his sadness in drink, and all the local matrons are narrowly watching the pair of them. And then he saves old Simon from a frozen death in the woods, and Joel becomes a local hero.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written, charming, funny, you will not want to put it down, 8 Jan 2008
By Scully Bloke (Wiltshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This is an absolutely beautifully written heart warming book.

Joel Gustafsson is reaching his 14th birthday. He lives in the north of Sweden by an icy river with his father Samuel. They have very little money and winter is here and the snow is falling.

But Joel is growing up and he makes 3 new year resolutions.

His first is that he wants to live to 100, and in order to do that he must toughen up his body.

His second is that he wants to see the sea. He knows in order to do this he needs to persuade his father to move away and that will not be easy.

His third and the most difficult for Joel is to see a girl naked.

The story tells of Joels daily life which revolves around his desire to implement his new year resolutions. To move away he will need money and he knows two ways of making it, selling caravans or becoming a rock star, now which will be the easiest........How can he make his body tougher...... and which girl shall he choose and how will he persuade her.....

A charming story written by the author of the Kurt Wallender crime novels.

I heartily recommend this book to anyone from 14 to 104. It is only 219 pages and you will not want to put it down until you finish. Guaranteed

5.0 out of 5 stars Great writing, 15 Aug 2009
The condition of this book was excellent and the story great.But I didn't realise it was for younger readers.That doesn't matter as I shall give it to a teenager!It would have been helpful to know.

I am a fan of inspector Wallander, however this book, completely unrelated to the subject, made me realize what an amazing writer Mankell is. I strongly recommend it.
