Winner of the City of Tampere literature prize Praise for The Nettler Revolt Nominee for the the Kuvastaja Award for Finland’s best fantasy novel Nominee for the Topelius Prize for juvenile fiction The Nettler Revolt is a realistic portrayal of the future, a fantasy novel, a hellish dystopia, and a love story of two boys, a secret that scratches away at the borders between eternities. But they also meet in that other place, where the elm still sends shadows dancing across their naked skin, the paradise where the past is slick with blood. They meet in reality, where the sun hasn’t shone in years, the structures of civilization have crumbled, and the ragged Stinger Children sow revolution from the heart of a commandeered amusement park. Dharan has always been the one who ends up shouldering all responsibility, the one who leads his comrades to revolution, the one who fixes everything, the reason destruction rains down on the world.
