The author's books have been translated into 31 languages and have become bestsellers in Germany, Norway, Denmark, and the Netherlands. The novel has been nominated for the Martha Award 2020 (Denmark) and the Thrillzone Award 2020 (Netherlands). A touching and at the same time horrifying story that strikes to the core. The novel is about true friendship, betrayal, abuse, and death, about a boy with a genetic mutation, but at the same time about every person - because anyone can be labeled as 'different'. Leon is an unusual boy. Like all children, he loves to play on the farm, pet fluffy animals, and hug his mom. But he does all this in a completely different way: his tiny hands leave bruises and break bones. That's why Leon has almost no friends. Only Mirko - a neighbor boy - sees the best in the boy. Perhaps because he loves his mother. He takes on almost all of Leon's upbringing, but controlling the little monster is beyond his abilities. One tragic night turns their lives upside down. To escape the consequences of their actions and avoid threats, Mirko and Leon need to run away. But can it be safe to be near such a child?
