Author Cecilia Lidbeck's "An Immortal Friendship" is the year's best Swedish book for 9-12 year olds.

That is the opinion of a jury consisting of fifth and sixth graders from Möllevångsskolan in Malmö, who have appointed her as the recipient of the Children's Radio Book Prize 2025.

"'An Immortal Friendship' has a perspective you don't usually see the world from. Is the friendship due to programming or real feelings? This is a groundbreaking book bursting with different emotions and we hope that the joy of reading we have received from it will spread further," reads part of the jury's motivation.

The Children's Radio Book Prize is a collaboration between Sveriges Radio and UR (Utbildningsradion). The prize money is 30,000 kronor.
