BILDER FRÅN HONOM – PICTURE ME
By Linda Edgarsson
SELMA DOESN’T WANT to move. She wants to start seventh grade with her best friend Nadja, not leave everything behind just before secondary school. Luckily, there’s Woody on TikTok. He’s funny, kind to animals, and always seems to know the right thing to say. When he starts messaging her privately, Selma can hardly believe her luck. Soon they’re chatting on Snapchat, and they make a daring pact: in ten days, they’ll reveal their faces. In thirty, they’ll meet in real life.
BUT THEN SCHOOL starts. A new class, new rules. Awkward mishaps, impossible social codes, and classmates who seem to have decided exactly where everyone belongs. Being the new girl is hard enough, but it gets even more complicated when Selma begins to suspect that Woody might be sitting somewhere in her own classroom. Can she figure out who he is before their thirty days are up?
PICTURE ME IS Linda Edgarsson’s debut for young readers. A warm, funny and heart-fluttering story about friendship, finding your place, and falling in love for the very first time.
