In this book you will meet young people from all across the Nordic Region who invite you into their lives. Sit down on a chair in a Norwegian classroom and lie about your summer vacation with Kamilla. Head out to a bar in Nuuk woth Paninnguaq. Play bingo in Sweden with Jennie and her mother, or make a plan for how to get friends in Reykjavík with Alexandra.
 
The young writers all have one thing in common: The experience of growing up with poverty as a basic condition.
This is the starting point for this book's wealth of personal stories, infusing flesh and blood into the statistics - in the young writers' own words.
