Die tusseninners
Author(s): Zelda Bezuidenhout
Format: Paperback
Max se lewe is verby. Sy sal moet trek. ’n Ander identiteit kry. Sy het sosiale selfmoord gepleeg. Haar en haar beste vriendin, Bibi, se gunstelingspeletjie Fast Forward verander in ’n ramp nadat sy per ongeluk ’n spottende boodskap op die graad 10-groep stuur – waar almal dit kan lees. Sy word summier van die groep afgeskop, en hulle word al twee uitgesluit van die graad se beplande “Halfpadklaar”-vieringe.
Max en Bibi, saam met die nuwe ou Jonatan, vorm ’n onwaarskynlike driemanskap en beplan eerder hul eie feesvieringe op Jonatan se oom se kleinhoewe. Hulle organiseer ’n fliekaand wat ook ’n fondsinsameling word om Max se ouma se kamermaat te help. Maar die aand is vol uitdagings en verrassings wat dreig om hulle planne omver te gooi. Saam besef hulle dat die lewe nie noodwendig beter is as deel van die in-groep nie.
Die Tusseninners, 'n skreeusnaakse en geloofwaardige nuwe grootwordverhaal uit Zelda Bezuidenhout se pen, is vir almal wat nie inpas op hoërskool nie en maar net in die spasies tussen-in oorleef.
Max's life is over. She will have to move. Get a new identity. She has committed social suicide. Her and her best friend Bibi's favourite game, Fast Forward, turns into a disaster after she accidentally sends a mocking message to the grade 10 group – where everyone can read it. She is immediately kicked out of the group, and they are both excluded from the grade's planned "Halfway done" celebrations.
Max and Bibi, along with the new guy Jonatan, form an unlikely trio and instead plan their own celebration at Jonatan's uncle's smallholding. They organize a movie night that also becomes a fundraiser to help Max's grandmother's roommate. But the evening is full of challenges and surprises that threaten to derail their plans. Together, they realise that life isn't necessarily better as part of the "it crowd".
Die Tusseninners, a hilarious and relatable new coming-of-age story from the pen of Zelda Bezuidenhout, is for every high schooler who doesn't feel like they belong and just exist in the in-between spaces.
