Just Rikka. Period.

A book about ten-year-old Rikke, whose life has gone completely wrong, translated by Olga Drobot.

Rikke's best friend, Lisa, has fallen in love with a boy from another class and now talks about nothing else. But Rikke isn't interested in romance or boys at all! She has enough problems as it is: she lives with her mother, stepfather, and stepbrother and stepsister, her father has a new family in another city, and now a boy her age has moved into the neighboring house... And to top it all off, she has had a falling out with Lisa that seems permanent. How can she fix everything?

Maiken Nulund (Norwegian Association of Children's Authors) tells of the difficult age between childhood and adolescence, how much support and sincerity mean, and the importance of each of us.

The book was nominated for the "Magic Chalk" award (Trollkrittet, 2019) for the best debut in Norwegian children's literature.
