Eriksen, Endre Lund: Pitbull-Terje og kampen mot barnevernetWinner of the ARK Children's Book Award 2006
In this sequel to Pitbull-Terje Runs Amok we are reacquainted with Terje and his buddy Jim. The two friends have just turned thirteen, and they should really be concentrating on being teenagers with hormones in turmoil, and nothing else. But, as we all know, there is this issue with Jim’s mother and Terje’s daddy. The kids feel that they should put their parents back on the right track, before their own teenage years can start for real – and if this is not done, not a single girl will cast a second glance at them. And the Child Care Departments people are luring in the shadows...
The first book about Pitbull-Terje and Jim has sold in over 13.000 copies. The movie based on the book was very popular, and Endre Lund Eriksen received the Amanda Price for the best movie for Children and Young Adults in 2006.
Praise for Pitbull-Terje:
"We want more!"
(Dagbladet)
"Endre Lund Eriksen has several trump cards as a writer of children’s books, but most of all he manages to consequently observe the world from the inside of Jim’s 13-year-old head. The narrator is both steady and humoristic, and instead of pitying the other main character you are impressed with his dedication and creativity. The writer has also managed to build a very unpredictable, yet believable story. "
