    Ants beware. When Jonas opens his box of matches, theres nowhere to hide. Not only is Jonas an enemy to ants, he hates cats, dogs, snails, cows ... and his grandmother, too. The boys violent behaviour towards animals and other children is fuelled by frustration and anger. He worships his mother, but her undivided attention is hard to secure with all those uncles flitting in and out of their lives, not to mention the imminent new arrival whom Jonas has labelled the football. When Jonas and his mother run away to grandmothers farm following a violent incident at their home, the little boys world is turned on its head. His hateful grandmother spies on his every move from behind her bedroom curtains, his pregnant mother picks up a new man and the football is about to make its debut. Then Jonas gets involved with strange little Sarah, and a series of tragic events begins to unfold ... With literary finesse, Stephan Valentin examines the distress of a lonely child whose behaviour mirrors societys indifference to his plight. A child deprived of love is a star without a sky. Readers of this book will succumb, as I did, to its distinctive lure. It says everything there is to say without feeling the need to explain. -Vassilis VassilikosAn enthralling book. Valentins whirlwind narrative offers plenty of food for thought. -Süddeutsche Zeitung Stephan Valentin describes a childs world with words that are simple, blunt and genuine. Impeccable. -Lettera.comWe cannot help but be won over by Jonas distress, his acute loneliness, and by the tragedy that unfolds. -LE MONDE de léducationA miniature linguistic masterpiece - moving, courageous and poetic. -Berlingske Tidende
