ANNOYING LITTLE SHITS (STÖRIGA JÄVLA SKITUNGAR)

A dick painted across the principal’s car.
A TikTok hack that goes horribly wrong.
A crush that becomes an obsession.
A phone call that changes everthing. 

For a group of 14-year-olds, it starts like any other Tuesday. It ends in complete chaos.

Set over the course of a single school day, we follow eight young people whose lives become unexpectedly intertwined. The story begins early in the morning in a school corridor, where Tim and Abdul are gossiping about their classmates. Someone has been drawing dicks all over the school, and rumours about the mysterious “artist” are spreading fast.

As the day unfolds, we get to know the students, their hopes, fears, crushes and secret dreams, as well as some of the teachers. Because nothing is quite what it seems on the surface. By the time the chaotic school day comes to an end, every one of them has been changed.

Annoying Little Shits is a novel about school where everything is at stake. Funny, heartbreaking and painfully relatable, Emmy Abrahamson captures a world where every choice can lead to social disaster. A story that smells of school corridors, energy drinks and cafeteria stroganoff – and is impossible to put down.
