Ask Konge Taber fortæller om det mest intense efterår i 16-årige Asks liv. Om at føle sig rodløs og lammende forelsket. Om hvor let det er at fucke livet op, og hvor svært det er at holde fast, når man er bange for at miste.Ask starter på efterskole mere af nød end af lyst. Det samme gør Liv. Begge ankommer til efterskolen med en række skuffelser og svigt i bagagen. Ask og Liv tiltrækkes af hinanden, men fester, flirt og misforståelser gør tingene rigtig svære for de to unge, der samtidig slås med konflikter både i og uden for efterskolen.Pressen skrev:»Ask Konge Taber er en traditionel ungdomsroman efter opskriften: Unge i problemer og med vrængende livsattitude skal en del igennem, inden det ender godt. Og den opskrift er der absolut intet i vejen med. Ikke når man udfylder den som i Ask Konge Taber.«– Mette Bechmann Westergaard, Folkeskolen.dk»Jeg synes så helt klart mange af de andre bøger i den klassiske ungdomsromans genre med ungdomsproblemer kunne lære noget af den her bog. Camilla Wandahl har formået at finde teenageren og dybden. Kanon bog!«***** – Skrivepulten.dk »Sproget er flydende og naturligt og giver en følelse af realisme i historien … God bog om at være ung og om at finde sig selv og de andre.«– Pia Petersen, Lektør»For et par år siden var min ældste søn på efterskole, og selv om jeg kom til familiedage og teaterforestillinger og så ham hver fjerde weekend, er der meget af det år, der er "hemmeligt" for mig. Det er naturligt, for i den alder begynder ungdomslivet, hvor man skal finde sig selv midt i de første fester og den store forelskelse. Sådan er det også for hovedpersonerne, Ask og Liv, i Camilla Wandahls skønne bog "Ask Konge Taber".«– Charlotte Højlund, Ude&Hjemme »hvis man har lyst til at læse en god realistisk ungdomsroman, der ikke tager for lang tid at læse, så kan jeg i hvert fald varmt anbefale Ask Konge Taber!«****** – Saynab, Boggnasker.dk

En rigtig fin læseoplevelse til alle i skolens overbygning. Bogen kan kun anbefales til alle biblioteker og centre for undervisningsmidler.«– Mads Overmark, Lektør »”Stav til psyko” er Mette Vedsøs første ungdomsbog, og den er hun (også) sluppet godt fra … Lille, fin og stærk ungdomsroman.«– Bent Rasmussen, Skolebiblioteket »'Stav til psyko' er nådesløs. Sådan er det for tiden. Letlæste ungdomsbøger har fat i nogle ubærlige lag, der bedst kan beskrives i kort form … Mette Vedsø slår en ny ligeværdig tone an imellem børn og voksne … Sjældent har man læst så velskrevet og velkomponeret og hjertetyngende en historie som ' Stav til psyko'. Man får lyst til at gå ud og gøre verden lidt bedre bagefter.«***** – Steffen Larsen, Politiken

Chapter 17Stay SilentPeople can misjudge you or look down on you. You can't stop anyone from doing so. You can't expect everyone to know what you're up to because your goal belongs to one person only. That person is you, so don't waste your time telling people what you want to do. Keep your mouth shut and work to achieve your goal. Do we have a deal? Besides, nobody cares, anyway. Why waste your time talking about it?You don't have to tell anyone what you're going to do. Just do it. Be silent if you must, but don't worry. You'll get there one way or another. It's better if you conserve your time and energy for the tasks, meaning that you should spend less time talking and more time doing your job. Agree?People have the rights to judge or underestimate you, but you don't have any rights to do so to yourself. You have to believe in yourself because you're more powerful than you know. To unlock that power, you must keep working and practicing every day until you've found that hidden power. It's the power from within only found through hard work and repetition of practices.Stay silent and work hard every day. The power of silence is far more powerful than you know it. You'll see it when you get there. To get there, you must keep working harder and harder every day. I can't stress that enough.You can live anywhere on this planet and still do what you're dreaming of accomplishing because the world is far more connected than it ever was. If the people from a few generations before us could achieve so many incredible things with little help of the connectivity level that today's world can provide, so will you.

"Don't call this mermaid "little"--call her "captain," unless you want to walk the plank. Mary is in love with the so-called prince of Charles Town, except he doesn't love her back. Which is inconvenient. Since she's a mermaid, being brokenhearted means she'll--poof!--turn into sea-foam. But instead, Mary finds herself pulled out of the sea and up onto a pirate ship. To survive, she joins them. But Mary isn't willing to just sing the yo-ho-hos. She wants the pirate life, all of it, and she's ready to make a splash...by becoming captain. But when Blackbeard dies suddenly, Mary has a chance to become so much more: Pirate King...or Queen. She won't let anyone stop her--not Blackbeard's cute son, not her best friend from back under the sea who's having a bit too much fun with his new legs, and certainly not everyone who says she can't be a pirate just because she's a girl. She may not be the best man for the job, but she'll definitely prove that she's worth her salt."--
