| Hailed as "Lord of the Flies" for the 21st century, "Nothing" is a treasured work in the author''s native Denmark. When Pierre-Anthon realizes there is no meaning to life, the seventh grader leaves his classroom, climbs a tree, and stays there. |
Annotation:
After declaring that life is meaningless on the first day of seventh grade, Pierre Anthon leaves school and takes refuge in a plum tree. This sets in motion a series of increasingly disturbing actions as his classmates try to get him down with a growing pile of things that mean the most to them. Frequently compared to LORD OF THE FLIES, this Danish import is a 2011 Printz Honor Book.

Praise
"A provocative and challenging parable about human instability."

"Gorgeously lyrical, as abetted by Aitken's translation, and dreadfully bleak."
