Skólaslit er hrollvekja eftir Ævar Þór Benediktsson sem lesendur munu tæta í sig. Sagan birtist fyrst sem ógnvekjandi hrekkjavökudagatal en kemur nú út í bókarformi – lengri og ógeðslegri en áður – með myndlýsingum eftir Ara H.G. Yates.
Það er 31. október. Hrekkjavaka. Allir veggir skólans eru þaktir skrauti sem vekur hroll og kitlar ótta. Í fjarska ómar ómennskt öskur. Á gólfinu má sjá hálfan íþróttakennara og handan við hornið heyrist í draghöltum uppvakningaher. Hvað í ósköpunum gerðist? Og hvernig geta krakkarnir sem enn eru ekki orðnir að skrímslum komist lifandi út úr skólanum?
Verkefnið Skólaslit hlaut Vorvinda-viðurkenningu IBBY, Hvatningarverðlaun fræðsluráðs Reykjanesbæjar og var tilnefnt til Foreldraverðlauna Heimilis og skóla.
Since 2014, Ævar has been one of the most popular authors in Iceland. He has won several awards for his work, including the Icelandic Children's Book Awards, The Bookseller's Awards and a special award, by the Ministry of culture and education, in recognition of his contribution to work on the Icelandic language. He was nominated for the Icelandic Literary Prize for Children and YA Books in 2016 (for The Robot Attack) and in 2017 (for Your Very Own Fairy Tale) and was finalist and first International Selection of the DeBary Outstanding Children’s Book Awards 2016 (for Dinosaurs in Reykjavik). In 2017 Ævar was chosen as one of the Aarhus39 - a collection of the 39 best emerging writers for young people from across Europe. On top of that he has won four Edda-awards for his TV-show, Ævar the Scientist.
In 2015, 2016 and 2017 Ævar launched annual nation-wide reading challenges for every child in Iceland between the ages of 5-13. At the end of each challenge five participants are randomly selected and as a reward get to be characters in the book series "The Young Adventures of Ævar the Scientist". Over 177 thousand books were read in the three challenges. In October of 2017 he was nominated for the ALMA (The Astrid Lindgren Memorial) award , as a "Promoter of reading".
He currently lives in Reykjavík, Iceland, with his fiancé and cat (not the same person, though).
Byrjaði á þessari bók með bekknum mínum en klárðum hana ekki. Sérstaklega vegna útbrots á krónískri unglingaveiki sem gekk yfir hópinn. Rosalega skemmtileg bók að mínu mati! Sjokkerandi, gróf og yfir höfuð skemmtileg. Sést hvað höfundar elska gömlu uppvakningamyndirnar frá t.d. George A. Romero. Góður splatter fyrir börn ogvfallega myndskreitt
