Last week I gave a little presentation in the bookshop 't Oneindige verhaal' about 'ABBA looking for Frida' to high school student's from Sint-Niklaas. They got to see the first chapters and reenact them as though they were the characters. It was all about getting young people excited about reading... and ABBA.
