The Ghost and Facebook
2019
Synopsis
Rights sold: Hungarian, Latvian
The cast of characters in Andrus Kivirähk’s new collection of children’s stories includes ghosts and laptops, dogs and cats, kids and grown-ups, sauna whisks and caterpillars. They build birdhouses, go to plays, grow nettles, and take trips to The Avocado. A year simply flies by when you have good friends and exciting individuals all around. You’re made stronger by your escapades and find yourself quite many an experience richer. Perhaps there are even readers with enough resolve to extract and ponder a thing or two from between the lines of Kivirähk’s humorous and fantastical writing!
