Tajemství Humly Hanssonové – Sigunsdotterová Kristina (2022)

Sometimes the world looks so bleak that only dark humor can help. Meet Humla Hansson and remember this name. When your descendants outgrow the Moomins and the children from Bullerbyn, and the mischievous Pippi seems too childish for them, offer them Humla. Humla is her emo version for youth, which is growing faster than bamboo in our turbulent world. Humla is in fifth grade, has an extravagant aunt, and wants to be an artist just like her. Besides her aunt, she also has a best friend to whom she confides even her biggest secrets. So she actually has a pretty good life... Well, she did, until it turned into complete hell. Her friend was taken away by unbearable school primadonnas, and now the whole school will probably find out her secrets. Her aunt has had a mental breakdown. And as if that weren't enough, her parents are going through a partnership crisis. For one eleven-year-old girl, that's more than enough. Humla's journey between childhood and adolescence has existential dimensions. After all, every coming-of-age story does. Everything is always wrong. But Humla will disarm you with her sincerity and dark humor, which is a remedy for all the world's sorrows.
