Our Own Little Paradise
Marianne Kaurin
On the last day of school in Norway, Nora is embarrassed by her family’s poverty and by having no plans for the summer. In front of her class, she falsely says that she will spend three weeks in the Mediterranean, or “the tropics.” A new neighbor and classmate learns that Nora’s vacation story is untrue. The book centers on the lie Nora tells after feeling humiliated and on what happens when someone close to her discovers it.
