The Best Length of My Life

Jan is a just an average guy who gets along well in life. But in his new class, an old problem arises – his dsylexia. Flo lives in the house next door, dresses like a hippie and has chickens. She records events and encounters that move her in infographs. Even Jan appears in one. Yet it takes a while until they become good friends, and meanwhile Jan has to admit his problems with reading to his new classmates, keep nasty Linus away from Flo and besides all of that, goes swimming: for his coach thinks he is exceptionally talented.

• Important topic – difficulty with reading
• Unusual perspective on bullying – Jan doesn’t give up, is courageous and self-confident
• Easy and entertaining to read, with many short episodes
• Very authentic, contemporary narrative of the male protagonist, who seems to come directly from the target group of readers
