14-aastase Susani elu on parast onu surma taielikult pea peale keeratud. Tema isa on venna kaotuse tottu sugavas depressioonis ning otsib oma leinas lohutust alkoholist. Uks onnetus jargneb teisele. Isa kaotab too ning pere jaab oma kodust ilma, isa ja ema vahelised suhted ei ole enam endised. Susani ja tema noorema venna Rasmuse jaoks muutub olukord taiesti valjakannatamatuks. Uha sagedamini keerleb tudruku peas mote: kui ma ometi suudaks valja selgitada, mis tapselt juhtus ja kes on onu surmas suudi… Ehk aitaks see isal juhtunuga leppida ja mustast august valja rabeleda?Miks pidi keegi Tarmo tapma?! See kusimus keerles meil koigil peas terve aasta ning kogu lugu havitas meie peret jarjepideva visadusega. Paps hakkas varsti parast neid jubedaid uudiseid jooma ning mida aeg edasi ja mida rohkem ta politseilt kuulis, et tulistajat pole ikka katte saadud, seda hullemaid tuure tema joomingud votsid. Olgu oeldud, et paps pole kunagi karsklane olnud, aga mitte iial pole ta joonud sel kombel nagu nuud. Nahes teda hilisohtuti uksest sisse tuikumas, motlesin tihtipeale, et talle ei lahe enam mitte miski korda. Ka meie mitte.„Halloween” palvis Eesti Lastekirjanduse Keskuse ja kirjastuse Tanapaev korraldatud 2014. aasta noorsooromaanide voistlusel III koha.

Almost every woman has experienced bullying. Whether her role was that of victim, aggressor, or bystander, the pain of relational aggression (female bullying) lasts long after the incident has passed. In Mean Girls Grown Up, Cheryl Dellasega explores why women are often their own worst enemies, offering practical advice for a variety of situations. Drawing upon extensive research and interviews, she shares real-life stories from women as well as the knowledge of experts who have helped women overcome the negative effects of aggression. Readers will hear how adult women can be just as vicious as their younger counterparts, learn strategies for dealing with adult bullies, how to avoid being involved in relational aggression, and more. Dellasega outlines how women can change their behavior successfully by shifting away from aggression and embracing a spirit of cooperation in interactions with others.
