Measurable

Målbart

Sten and his son Aksel move in with Georg and his mum. The two boys are very different - and Sten is nothing like Georg's father. Sten is good at measuring everything. The challenge is that Georg doesn't feel so measurable.

Synopsis

Aksel is 11 years, 2 months and 3 days old to be exact, he weighs 31 kilos, runs 5 kilometres in 23 minutes, eats 2000 calories on a normal day, sleeps between seven and eight hours every night, walks between 10,000 and 20,000 steps even on days off. The last test showed an IQ of 112, but we're working on that. Other than that, I don't know him that well.

I'm probably not quite as measurable, but my name is Georg and I'm almost 10 years old. My birthday is coming up. I weigh a little too much, but we're working on that. I definitely eat more than 2,000 calories a day and sleep 10 hours plus the rest. I live with my mum and now also with Aksel and his dad, Sten. I see my dad every Wednesday and sometimes also for a fishing trip at the weekend.

Measurable is book about integrity, standing up for who you are - also when the world around you changes. From the same author/illustrator duo behind The Story of a Boy who is (maybe) called Torben.
