A Breath of Fresh Air

A boy's diary, what a breath of fresh air! _In Ned's Head_ hilariously takes the reader through the deeds, thoughts, and emotions of a preadolescent male. Originally a best seller in Sweden, Ned, under his code name Treb Vladinsky, offers readers the perspective of a whole child, not one totally gendered and culturally endoctrinated. Of course Ned loves girls and has macho images, but he also has fears and vulnerabilities. Ned is a boy who shares his emotions! Olsson and Jacobsson's creation of Ned combined with Read's polished translation provide readers with a wonderfully funny and insightful view of a young, preadolescent, boy's thoughts, actions, and feelings. Ned will leave you with a smile!

The Best Children's Book Ever!

Although I am not a child, but in my twenties, I STILL enjoyed this wonderfully written tale of Ned and his misadventures! It's hilarious! And even though it's original text and content was Swedish, the translation and adaption to American is fabulous. I recomend this book not only to youngsters, but children of all ages!

GREAT!!!!

I loved this book! I recognize myself in Ned. He is like me and my friends. Everyone should buy this book. It is GREAT!!
