A review by mylibrarybooks
The Ballad of a Broken Nose by Arne Svingen

5.0

Did you know there are awards for children's books in translation?? I'm sure a lot of people did, but I had no idea! And I was very excited to find out, and fell completely in love with this book. The way the story unfolded was a perfect depiction of how someone going through any aspect of the topics would tell their own story. You immediately fall in love with everyone, even if they are far less than perfect. It's just...wonderful, despite the difficult subject matters. I would love to read more by this author, and many more books in translation.
