He’s so close to many of us and so authentic. The two parts of the book deal with issues and problems present in the lives of many young people, and talk about them in language that is up-to-date, accessible, and at once literary, showing the author’s sensitive touch and awareness of the significance and role of communication. The novel’s protagonist is a character with whom many young readers can easily identify, he faces problems typical for them linked to family life, peer-group relationships and developing his own identity. But it’s not a book focussed on problems – it’s a story about the power of friendship, the values of family relationships – which are always worth working on – and about searching for solutions. The story of Waldek gives hope and faith in the fact that one can cope with any difficulty. This smart, compelling, humorous novel has one more virtue – it can be a biblio-therapeutic tool, helpful in revealing and building on the resources of young readers.
