'Masterful children's book'
NRC Handelsblad

Being friends with Rifka is the highest you can achieve. I think that's kind of what it is. And that's why everyone wants it.
Rifka herself doesn't want it. 'Let them all get the shit,' she said. 'It's us against the rest.'

Rifka is the king of the class. She makes things up, she always does. You could call it lying, but Rifka disagrees. 'Think big' she prefers to say. Because those who think small, achieve nothing in their lives.
This time Rifka has really come up with something great. With a little help from Duveke she is going to make a fool of the whole world. It will definitely be funny.
Yeah okay, it's quite a complicated plan, but Rifka won't let anyone stop her. So what could possibly go wrong?

Awarded a Silver Stylus.
