Publisher's summary
V er et rimet digt om sorg, savn, smerte og håb for børn fra ti år og opefter. En historie om at få revet sin familie i stykker og inderligt ønske, at det var anderledes – en historie om at kæmpe, men også om at give slip.
V, en dreng uden skygge, dukker op ved en piges seng. Han vil have hende med ud at lede efter hendes far, der lige har forladt familien. Deres søgen tager dem gennem drømmeagtige landskaber, hvor strenge grænsevogtere ikke lade nogen passere gratis. Spørgsmålet er, hvor meget pigen er parat til at give for at nå sit mål og finde sin far igen?
Ligesom Cecilie Ekens prisbelønnede sonetkrans Mørkebarnet er bogen mesterligt illustreret af Malene Reynolds Laugesen.
Pressen skriver:
»“V” anbefales på det allervarmeste til brug i danskundervisningen på mellemtrinnet – og det gælder ikke kun indholdet, men i ligeså høj grad formen. Her er grundlag for gode snakke om billederne og teksten på alle niveauer fra genre til ord. “V” er et sjældent smukt og helstøbt værk. Og så er her en gaveidé til én man holder af, barn som voksen.«
– Søren Fanø, Bogbotten
»V er en bog, der giver savn og sug i maven.«
– Julie Lykke Sørensen, Fyens Stiftstidende
»Smuk og dybt bevægende bog om sorg og tab […] Det er en slags poetisk dannelsesdigt, hvor der i sidste ende er en accept af og lyst til livet, som det er blevet. Digtets rim og rytme fungerer godt, og er en nydelse at læse højt. Illustrationerne er smukke og supplerer historien, og viser os, hvad teksten antyder, fx opdager man, at pigen er blevet større, før teksten siger det.«
– Johanne Elvers Madsen, Lektør
»Teksten, med sine rim og derved smukt konstruerede sætninger, luller én med ind i en ganske seriøs og vidunderlig smuk fortælling […] I stedet for, at der sker en distance, opnås der et andet sprog for det, som er svært at snakke om […] Det er så godt.«
– Josephine, Bookeater
»Cecilie Eken holder sit høje niveau. Hendes nye, rimende børnedigt skildrer et barns sorg på forbilledlig vis [...] Der må rim og metrik til, når et barns trygge familie kollapser, det har Cecilie Eken forstået, og hun forløser det smukt. Versefødderne gungrer anapæst-hektisk af sted, så man rigtig kan mærke barnets uroligt bankende, savnende hjerte. Sprogbillederne er tilsvarende fulde af rastløshed og knugende sorg, og de får lov at stå sælsomme og stemningsskabende uden for mange forklaringer.«
– Marie Theilmann, Jyllands-Posten *****
»Vidunderlig, vis og hverdagsmytologisk langdigt om en pige, der sammen med skyggedrengen V, tager ud for at finde sin far, efter at han har forladt familien. Den af Malene Reynolds Laugesen burlesk illustrerede bog er et moderne eventyr i lyrisk form for de plus 10-årige, et magisk realistisk hverdagsdrama om en families opløsning og et barns sorg og savn, om natlige maskebal og svære prøvelser – og erkendelser. Smuk og smertefuld litteratur for tweens med næsten guddommelige danteske børnekomediedimensioner. «
– Berlingske
»Handlingen er skrevet som et digt og udspiller sig lige der, hvor en krise splintrer hverdagens sprog og logik. Suverænt sælsomme vers, rim og sprogbilleder.«
– Marie Theilmann, Jyllands-Posten
»Nogle gange kommer prosaen til kort. Det gør den blandt andet, når et barn kommer til sorg og en af dem, der mesterligt kan skildre et barns sorg og følelsen af at gennemleve en livskrise, det er Cecilie Eken […] Og i hendes nye V, der er vi helt oppe på hendes helt eget, højeste niveau. Det her er en børnebog, som man kun ser – af den her kvalitet – hvert femte til tiende år.«
– David Turner, Jyllandsposten TV
»Forsidens afdæmpethed skaber kontrast til de rigt illustrerede forsats og bagsats. Til sammen viser de en udviklingsfortælling fra pigen med en bamse i favnen løbende sammen med en dreng gennem en blådyster by til bagsatsen, der viser en ung pige med blomster i hånden gående roligt gennem en solbeskinnet by.
Ordene i første linje læses forskelligt afhængigt af, om læseren bogstaveligt har mødt veen som fysisk smerte eller det, der er endnu tungere at miste en, der står en nær. Læserens tanker og forestillinger udfordres af livets helt store sider smerte, skygge og tab.
Når man så smukt og poetisk kan sætte ord og billeder på de store følelser og sider af menneskelivet, så bliver værket en del af min kanon.«

Story
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

Eve looks like an ordinary 12-year-old girl, but there’s nothing ordinary about her. She has no last name. No parents or guardian. She’s on the run from a dangerous and secretive organization that will stop at nothing to track her down. And most astonishing of all: she’s a robot, a product of Eden Laboratories. When Eve discovers the truth, she realizes everything she thought she knew about herself is a lie. Eve manages to escape, fleeing the lab, the only home she’s ever known.
