Laura Lähteenmäki’s COUNT SILENTLY TO TEN Featured in Börsenblatt’s Leselotse

We’re delighted to share that Laura Lähteenmäki’s novel COUNT SILENTLY TO TEN (Zähl leise bis zehn!) has been featured in Leselotse, Börsenblatt’s curated book recommendation section highlighting outstanding books for children and young readers.

Published in German by Carlsen and translated by Elina Kritzokat, the novel is praised as “Ein hinreißendes Sommerbuch” — a delightful summer book.

Described as a “little gem” follows ten-year-old Myy as she navigates a summer between childhood and adolescence: she still wants to play, while most of her friends seem more keen on spending time on their phones and doing things they consider “more mature”. When a boy named Lassi moves in next door, Myy finds a new companion for her games. There is a strong sense of melancholy and freedom that comes from enjoying unapologetically being a child, one last summer.

Sold in 10 territories, COUNT SILENTLY TO TEN is still available in France, the UK, Norway, Latvia, Hungary and Spain.
