Juryens kommentar
Herlig umiddelbar forside som på et millisekund gjør oss nysgjerrig på hovedpersonen. Ett blikk fra den rødhåra jenta og vi var solgt. Omslaget har flott kontrast mellom det skitne, maleriske og det rene. Mørkt og lyst. Her er streken levende og fargene friske. Boom! Vi vil være med på hva enn denne jenta måtte finne på av triks og tullball.
