WRITTEN BY RENOWNED PHILOSOPHER COEN SIMON

WITH EXTRAORDINARY ILLUSTRATIONS BY LINDA DE HAAN

There is a hole in the world and anyone who falls into it will disappear forever. That is scary, but you can still make jokes about it. And that is what Wisp does. How long does ‘forever’ actually last? And what is so bad about disappearing? Because if nothing ever disappears, the world will stop. Unfortunately, nobody except Mulut understands Wisp’s jokes. But what will happen to her when Wisp himself disappears?

The Boy Who Won’t Move House

WONDERFUL CHILDREN’S BOOK BY GOLDEN FRAME-

WINNING AUTHOR

MARIAN DE SMET’S YA NOVEL ROTMOEVIE HAS BEEN SOLD

TO GERMANY, DENMARK AND FRANCE

Our house has become too small, says Mum. I know that this is not true. Houses cannot shrink: the doors would get stuck and the windows would crack. The house is exactly the same as before.

Hessel’s parents are moving house, but Hessel has no intention of going with them. Angrily, he runs away. His best friend Berker comes with him. But running away is not that easy: they get hungry and lug a suitcase that is far too heavy for them. Then they meet Piya, an Iraqi girl who lives in a church with her family. Her father is on hunger strike because he wants a residence permit and a house for his family. That gives Hessel an idea.

A clear-cut and moving portrait of three young characters who get deep under your skin
