Let’s Read and Discuss Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist

This June, we’re diving into Let The Right One In, a haunting and beautifully written novel by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist. Set in a quiet suburb of Stockholm in the early 1980s, the story follows the unlikely friendship between a lonely 12-year-old boy and the mysterious new girl next door — who turns out to be far from ordinary.

Blending coming-of-age themes with chilling and supernatural elements, this novel explores loneliness, bullying, and the dark corners of human (and inhuman) nature. It’s atmospheric, unsettling, and deeply emotional — perfect for sparking discussion.

Happy reading, and let the right one into your imagination…
