‘Zero is the key’ by Robert J. Guerrera
‘Zero is the key’ started out really well. The idea of invisible children solving mysteries was great, and Robert J. Guerrera’s ability to explain science for children also is very, very good. But as a middle grade novel not only read to learn something from but also to entertain and to relate to, I missed…

‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them’ (Hogwarts Library)
For all the Harry Potter fans out there who – just like me – never got over the ending of Harry Potter, you have to read the three extra books in the Hogwarts Library. They are spin off books from Harry Potter and all books from the Harry Potter universe. (Drawing: Emma Klausen)

‘Hello, I Love You’ by Katie M. Stout
Sometimes you think you know exactly what you’re going to get, and you got the entire book planned out in your head. ‘Hello, I Love You’ was nothing like that. From the moment I got on the plane to Korea with the main character Grace, I was just as lost as her and had to…

‘How to be brave’ by E. Katherine Kottaras
High School student Georgia is determined to go through a self-made bucket list to live life after her mothers dead. The blurb sounded really interesting, but ‘How to be brave’ and espcially Georgia’s bucket list disappointed me big time. Amanda from our editorial board asked me this very good question: “What items would you have…

‘A School for Unusual Girls’ (Stranje House #1) by Kathleen Baldwin
‘A School for Unusual Girls’ isn’t just another story about a guy and a girl falling in love though. It is a book about finding yourself and finding people who accept you for you.

‘Between’ by Dora Hilburn
“17 year old Anna moves into the haunted Fenway House with her dad.” And already at that point, it sounded like one of those novels I’m addicted to scare myself with in the late hours and with only the reading lamp on. But the story was really slow-paced, and the author couldn’t get deep into…

‘The Anxiety Survival Guide for Teens’ by Jennifer Shannon
“Hi Everyone! My name is Peter, and I’m the editor at Youth Culture Denmark. I was suffering from severe anxiety when I was a teen in the 90ies, and I would have paid anything to get introduced to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) through a self-help book like this.” Everyone: “Hello Peter” 🙂 (Photo: Peter Henrichsen,…

‘Lies We Tell Ourselves’ by Robin Talley
A brutal book with so much to say: ‘Lies We Tell Ourselves’ were one of my most anticipated reads for this summer, and it did not disappoint me.

‘Break my heart 1000 times’ by Daniel Waters
Did you like the movie ‘The sixth sense’ from 1999 because of the scary things that happened, when the world of the living and the world of the dead collided? And did you like Alice Sebold’s novel ‘The Lovely Bones’, because of the thrilling parts where you got to know the murderer, but still couldn’t…

‘My True Love Gave to Me’ edited by Stephanie Perkins
‘My true love gave to me’ came out 2014 and was a great subject at Bookstagram through december. Actually the theme is ‘Winter Romances’, but it’s obvious most authors interpreted it as ‘Romantic Christmas novellas’. (Photo: Peter Henrichsen)

‘We All Looked Up’ by Tommy Wallach
‘We All Looked Up’ is a contemporary Young Adult novel with a very interesting concept and four main characters whom are very different from each other. I expected something new and educational from this book, but all it did was leaving me with a feeling of disappointment.

‘A Midsummer’s Nightmare’ by Kody Keplinger
‘A Midsummer’s nightmare’ is a companion novel to ‘The Duff’ and ‘Shut out’. It began promising, but it really became a YA nightmare. (Photo: Peter Henrichsen)

‘Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda’ by Becky Albertalli
“Don’t you think everyone should have to come out? Why is straight the default?” ‘Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda’ is one of the funniest and most heart touching stories I’ve read so far this year. I’m absolutely in love with this book and believe me, if I could force everyone in the world to…
