Emmy Walt
Despair (Flykt)
Motivation from the Crimetime jury:
“Fast paced, furiously thrilling and a topical and urgent plot. Here we have a debutant who dares to take action. About the terror and horror of our time and the effects of the fear that follows: Closed borders, prejudice, and narrowness. Big events that are portrayed with empathy from an individual’s perspective, and that make us reflect on important issues such as what it is like to lose everything we take for granted.”
Petrus Dahlin and Peter Bergting
My New Friend Håken (Min nya vän Håken)
Motivation from the Crimetime jury:
“A topical and scary subject in an environment that rarely finds a place in children’s literature. With a stripped-down and beautiful language, accompanied by suggestive illustrations, we are taken on a roller coaster ride of emotions. We are impressed by an extremely skilled and versatile author who shows his range and talent.”
Big congratulations to Emmy Walt and Petrus Dahlin! The winner will be announced September 30:th at the Book Fair in Gothenburg and the voting is now open. Click the link to vote: https://bokmassan.se/hem/program/crimetime-award-rostning/
