Shame (Original title: Skam) meets The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Four girls - about to enter teenage life - set out to create their own band, Pop Sisters.

Zakiya Ajmi is a widely celebrated debut author. She was nominated for the Nordic Literature Council's Children's Book Prize in 2022 and shortlisted for the Cultural Ministry's Children's Book Author Prize.

Synopsis

In the four books, we get a glimpse into the lives of the four girls - Kioli, Viola, Samantha and Lin - we see their personal development - and we see how their friendship is put to the test. Because the question is if friendship is more important than fame...

Every book is told from the point of view of one of the girls - this is Samantha's story:

Glamour, drama and girl power! Samantha shines as the lead singer of Pop Sisters, but behind the façade lies a web of worries. Her father's company is going bankrupt, and Samantha has to adjust to more modest circumstances. Could TV talent show Stardust be the path to success and fame for Pop Sisters? Or should she go solo instead? Samantha is good at making quick decisions, but sometimes things move a little too fast...

A sweet, funny and thought-provoking series for tweens about friendship, identity and courage.

The first book is currently nominated for the Writer's Prize (Skriverprisen) - a prize given by the Danish Children's & Educational Ministry every year.

Reviews

"This is a wonderful new series about four friends who make the band Pop Sisters. The series is (...) about girlhood, identity, expectations, friends and unity. There are many issues in the four books that readers will recognise from their own lives." – (Lektørudtalelse (Library review)

"I predict that the series will be a hit with girls, as in addition to (IMPORTANTLY) being well-written for the target audience, it also has a great layout with small and large illustrations." – (@litteratur_til_danskfaget)
