Efterskrift af Sigrid Riise og Renée Toft Simonsen, medlemmer af PLAN Danmarks bestyrelse. Henning Mankell, mest kendt for sine Wallander-krimier, beretter her om sine besøg hos en række AIDS-ramte i Østafrika. Personligt, indtrængende og sobert fortæller han om de menneskelige tragedier, der gemmer sig bag det uhyrlige antal smittede og døde, som ofte efterlader sig gamle forældre og mindreårige. Mankell samarbejder med den internationale hjælpeorganisation PLAN om bogen, og alle Mankells royalties, såvel som enhver fortjeneste ved salget i det hele taget, går til PLAN's arbejde med de såkaldte 'mindebøger'. Heri skriver - eller hjælpes til at skrive - de AIDS-ramte en slags erindringer til deres efterladte, således at de kan mindes.

Joel er 13 år og forelsket i en pige, der er 10 år ældre end han selv. Han vil gerne se hende uden tøj på. Han vil også gerne tjene penge og beslutter sig for at blive Sveriges yngste rockmusiker. Bogen er den tredje selvstændige roman om Joel. Tidligere er udkommet Hunden som sprang mod en stjerne og Miraklet.
