Jenny Fender
Jenny and Signe are neighbours, best friends, AND they’re playing a concert together at this year’s summer festival in the village. This is going to be the best summer ever!
But the news arrive with a bang just before the summer holidays start: Signe is moving – far, far away. Jenny is devastated. What’s going to happen with the band and the concert now? And what happened about being the bestest best friends in the whole wide world? Can you really be best friends with someone who lives miles away?
One day, someone moves into Signe’s house! Someone with a rock’n’roll hairdo, tight pants and a drum kit in the basement. Someone who’s irritatingly cool, who makes yummy smoothies and makes Jenny’s head spin. Someone called Sara, who’s moved all the way from Oslo.
This is going to be the worst summer ever…or is it?
