För första gången får de känna hur det är att ha en riktig vän - någon som förstår och ställer upp för en. En berättelse om drömmar, mod och hur bra det är att få nya vänner. Speciellt när man vill ha hjälp med att skrämma Benny. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Operation skrämma Benny är en stark, engagerande och mycket viktig bok för barn och unga. Den tar upp svåra ämnen – fattigdom, missbruk, mobbning och ensamhet – men gör det med ett språk och en värme som aldrig blir övermäktig. Istället blir det en berättelse som ger läsaren hopp, kraft och en stark känsla av att även små hjältar kan göra stor skillnad. En bok som angår alla – unga som vuxna. Rekommenderas varmt. // Anna Lärk Ståhlberg, chefsredaktör på Kikkuli Förlag Recensioner En varm, nervkittlande och djupt berörande berättelse om mod, vänskap och barns kamp för trygghet. I Alex & Amy – Operation skrämma Benny skildrar Monika Thormann två barns livsöden som flätas samman på ett sätt som både värmer hjärtat och får det att brista. Redan från första kapitlet dras man in i Alex värld – fotbollsgalen, känslig och pressad av en vuxenvärld som inte tar hand om honom. Hoppet om de efterlängtade Ronaldodojorna krossas när mamma och Bennys problem tar all plats, och Alex vrede, skam och maktlöshet känns i varje rad. Parallellt får vi följa Amy, som i tyst desperation försöker ta hand om sin lillebror efter att pappan försvunnit. Deras hunger, ensamhet och kampen för att överleva i en kaotisk lägenhet är hjärtskärande skildrad. Scenen där Amy öppnar kylen och bara hittar en burk intorkad senap är en av bokens starkaste ögonblick – ett barnperspektiv i sin renaste form. När deras vägar korsas på fotbollskollot växer något nytt. Mitt i sorgen och rädslan finns där skrattet, gemenskapen och styrkan som bara barn ibland har. Deras sköra vänskap, som spirar mellan sit-ups i gräset och skottkärretävlingar, är både fin och hoppfull. Bogdan och Nike, de engagerade ledarna, blir viktiga vuxna som ser, stöttar och står upp för barnen. Särskilt när Karim och Oscar mobbar Alex – och när Amy, trots sin egen utsatthet, vågar agera och finnas där for honom. Fotbollens värld skildras med värme och energi, men också med realism: det är inte skorna som gör spelaren, utan modet att fortsätta även när livet är tufft.

Selected Poems of Amy Lowell

Amy Lowell (1874–1925), American poet and critic, was one of the most influential and best-known writers of her era. Within a thirteen-year period, she produced six volumes of poetry, two volumes of criticism, a two-volume biography of John Keats, and countless articles and reviews that appeared in many popular periodicals. As a herald of the New Poetry, Lowell saw herself and her kind of work as a part of a newly forged, diverse, American people that registered its consciousness in different tonalities but all in a native idiom. She helped build the road leading to the later works of Allen Ginsberg, May Sarton, Sylvia Plath, and beyond. Except for the few poems that invariably appear in American literature anthologies, most of her writings are out of print. This will be the first volume of her work to appear in decades, and the depth, range, and surprising sensuality of her poems will be a revelation.The poetry is organized according to Lowell’s characteristic forms, from traditional to experimental. In each section the works appear in chronological order. Section one contains sonnets and other traditional verse forms. The next section covers her translations and adaptations of Chinese and Japanese poetry, whereby she beautifully renders the spirit of these works. Also included here are several of Lowell’s own Asian-influenced poems. Lowell’s free, or cadenced verse appears in the third part. The last section provides samples of Lowell’s polyphonic prose, an ambitious and vigorous art form that employs all of the resources of poetry.The release of The Selected Poems of Amy Lowell will be a major event for readers who have not been able to find a representative sampling of work from this vigorous, courageous poet who gave voice to an erotic, thoroughly American sensibility.
