On Monday, December 5 at 17:00, Ævar Þór Benediktsson will visit us at Amtsbókasafnið and read from his latest book, which is also the thirtieth book he has published. Drengurinn með ljáinn is Ævar's first book for young people, and he got his brother Sigurjón to join him, who illustrates the book.
Drengurinn með ljáinn is about death and tells the story of the boy Halli who falls a hair's breadth from death and experiences mysterious things in the wake. A fast-paced and engaging youth story for anyone who dares.
