Description

The book follows the humorous and charming story of thirteen-year-old Markus Simonsen, who falls in love with a different girl from his class almost every day during his first year in junior high. His best friend Sigmund helps him in his humorous pursuits, while his father offers little help, having only ever loved Markus’s late mother. Through the ups and downs, joys and fears, author Klaus Hagerup captures the essence of a normal yet unique teenager navigating his first steps into the unpredictable world of love. This is the second book in a warm, humorous series about Markus.
