Tamara Bach is the recipient of the James Krüss Prize 2021! An impressive, unusual book about school and life. Who can’t remember their class trips, unfair teachers, and the feeling of wanting to hold onto that one moment forever? In this book, Tamara Bach has observed keenly and narrated masterfully. She succeeds in capturing the essence of youth and allowing us as readers to experience it directly: authentic, compelling, and with a large dose of humor.

Something has gone terribly wrong on the class trip of 10b. At least, that’s what the others say. And that’s why there’s a class meeting with all the parents tonight. But no one knows exactly what happened. A kind of power struggle between students and teachers. Is there more written in the minutes? And can an entire class really be expelled from school?
