It’s been a couple of months since our five year old narrator, disgusted with the poor hygiene and low level of intellectual challenge, decided to resign from Kindergarten. She simply walked out. Nobody seems to have noticed. Her parents, or ”originators” as she prefers to call them, are away. It’s not entirely clear where. She now lives alone in the flat with her german speaking iguana. Apart from a rock called Sleipner, it’s the only company she can stand.

This slim book is mostly an account of this deeply original young narrator’s methods for navigating in the world without drawing attention to the fact that she’s five and living alone. But it’s also a book about change. For one day an eviction notice is on the doormat. And the iguana seems to have an illness, becoming more and more apathic. Perhaps dying?

Written in a crisp, literary, pretty detatched style, the voice of it’s narrator, but still bursting with strangeness, this is an odd book, both funny and sad. It’s easy to see where the hype comes from. Occasionally it becomes just a little too clever for it’s own good, but never annoyingly so. And the ending sends parental chills down my spine.
