JOYRIDE EAST

Tarik is a Turk whose only future is a job at a gas station. Jana lives in the Russian quarter. There’s no way two kids from such different backgrounds could ever come together. But they do, and then fall in love. And one day at the station, when a driver leaves the keys to his BMW dangling in the ignition, Tarik and Jana decide to just take off. But they don’t get far before they discover a pistol behind the front seat. And what’s that sound knocking coming from the trunk?

A gripping roadmovie-novel.

Nominated for the Oldenburg Youth Literature Prize.
