Anbefalet som årets ungdomsbog til sommerferien 2013 i Politiken. I et unavngivet mellemøsteligt land hjælper en ung arabisk-indisk hacker, Alif, sine klienter – fjender af systemet, fredløse, islamister og andre overvågede grupper – med at kunne ytre sig frit på nettet uden at ryge i magthavernes net. Alif er en af de bedste til det, han laver, men han bliver alligevel åndet i nakken af Hånden, systemets mand i marken. Og fra den dag, hvor Alif modtager Alf Yeom, et helligt skrift, som har både Koranen og 1001 nats eventyr, som underliggende tekst, er han jaget vildt og må flygte fra sit hjem. Det bliver en flugt, der bringer ham i kontakt med dæmoner og en underverden, der hidtil har været ham ukendt. Med efterord af Kåre Bluitgen. Anbefalet som årets ungdomsbog til sommerferien i Politiken 2013 Anbefalet i Politikens gaveguide til børne- og ungdomsbøger, julen 2013 Pressen skrev: »Alif er et veldrejet bidrag til at fatte, hvad der sker derude. Overvældende i sit indhold. Bogen vil det hele, og den når det hele. Sproget er letflydende og levende. Det er som at vinde i (bog)lotto. Det er sjældent, der kommer så kloge og kraftige historier for unge og opefter.« ***** - Steffen Larsen, Politiken »Romanen kan læses med særlig fryd af it-freaks med hang til e-mailkonti, RAM, servere, metaforer, kodenet, krypteringer og applikationer, botnet og roterende IP-adresser, men ellers kan den nydes for den elementære spænding, for de indlejrede, sitrende kærlighedshistorier. Eller for det sprogfilosofiske perspektiv, der – i diskussion med Foucault – åbner mulighed for at transformere et middelalderligt persisk skrift (Al Yeom) til en kvantecomputer med flere lag af betydninger indlejret ... som man gerne så overført til filmlærredet.« **** - Niels Houkjær, Berlingske »I denne spændende roman blandes en realistisk mellemøstlig problemstilling med djinner, overtro og mystik, og med 1001 nats eventyr som gennemgående inspiration. Dette skaber en rigtig spændende og underholdende cocktail ... En spændende, underholdende og mystisk debutroman, som nok skal finde sine læsere blandt de ældste unge samt voksne. Især de der også holder af det overnaturlige element.« - Merete Trap, Lektør »Det er en roman, hvor det realistiske og det fantastiske går hånd i hånd og stakåndet over siderne ... Romanen er en ren pageturner, og til trods for dens 450 sider er den ikke en side for lang og ikke et øjeblik kedelig ... Den er velskrevet (godt oversat), så det er en meget spændende og stærkt anbefalelsesværdig bog, man her med sindsuro kan give sig i kast med.« - Eiler Jensen, Børn & Bøger

When a young Arab-Indian hacker - who protects watched groups from surveillance - discovers The Thousand and One Days, the secret book of the jinn, he finds himself in a life and death struggle against forces seen and unseen. A cool and sophisticated page-turner that will enchant readers who love the works of Philip Pullman and Neil Gaiman.

“In this satisfying, lyrical memoir,” an American woman discovers her true faith—and true love—by converting to Islam and moving to Egypt (Publishers Weekly). Raised in Boulder, Colorado, G. Willow Wilson moved to Egypt and converted to Islam shortly after college. Having written extensively on modern religion and the Middle East in publications such as The Atlantic Monthly and The New York Times Magazine, Wilson now shares her remarkable story of finding faith, falling in love, and marrying into a traditional Islamic family in this “intelligently written and passionately rendered memoir” (The Seattle Times, 27 Best Books of 2010). Despite her atheist upbringing, Willow always felt a connection to god. Around the time of 9/11, she took an Islamic Studies course at Boston University, and found the teachings of the Quran astounding, comforting, and profoundly transformative. She decided to risk everything to convert to Islam, embarking on a journey across continents and into an uncertain future. Settling in Cairo where she taught English, she soon met and fell in love with Omar, a passionate young man with a mild resentment of the Western influences in his homeland. Torn between the secular West and Muslim East, Willow—with her shock of red hair, shaky Arabic, and Western candor—struggled to forge a “third culture” that might accommodate her values as well as her friends and family on both sides of the divide. Part travelogue, love story, and memoir, “Wilson has written one of the most beautiful and believable narratives about finding closeness with God” (The Denver Post).

As Vixen, Mari McCabe can mimic the abilities of any animal on Earth. Lion, falcon, rhino, there is no beast she cannot tame. And though she has traveled the world as a fashion model and explored the universe as a member of the Justice League, Africa is her home, and home to much trouble. Vixen has returned to the nation of Zambesi to investigate new details surrounding the murder of her long-dead mother. But when she discovers that the killer has ties to the super-villainous Intergang, she must set aside her revenge in order to save her besieged country.

Set in modern-day Cairo, this magical thriller follows four humans and a genie as they navigate the citys streets and spiritual underworld to find a stolen hooka sought by a vengeful gangster-magician. This original fable is written by journalist G. Willow Wilson and illustrated by Turkish artist M.K. Perker.
