Lena Hach
Cleo, Chaos, and Confetti
Lena Hach’s distinctive tone, somewhere between humour and depth
“Hi, I’m Cleo. And this mindfulness journal here? Let’s just say: it wasn’t my idea. Actually, I wanted to get rid of this thing straight away. But now I’m writing in it after all.
And it turns out: there’s quite a lot going on in my life. For example, a brother who thinks my privacy is just a rumour. A class that goes completely bonkers at competitions. And a carnival costume that, unfortunately, doesn’t just come up with itself. Some people call it ADHD. I call it: pretty exhausting — but also a bit brilliant.”
With wit, pace and a keen understanding of a child’s perspective, Lena Hach tells the story of a heroine with her very own view of the world — and of a mind that rarely stands still.
