Thug tuismitheoirí Anna fón póca di ar a lá breithe. Ach níorbh é an cineál fóin a theastaigh uaithi agus chaith Anna ar an urlár é. Bhris an fón ina smidiríní ar fud an tseomara. Nach uirthi agus ar a deartháir Niko a bhí an t-iontas nuair a thosaigh an fón briste ag glaoch. In Aibreán na bliana 2003 tháinig cúigear scríbhneoirí le chéile faoi choimirce LAF (Literature Across Frontiers.) Cuireadh faoi ghlas i mbothán sna Piréiní iad agus ordóidh dóibh úrscéal corraitheach do dhéagóirí a scríobh, dhá chaibidil an duine. Is é “Anna agus Niko” an toradh, úrscéal idirnáisiúnta a bhainfidh gol agus gáire as lucht a léite idir óg agus aosta. Is é Aidan Harte a mhaisigh.

Anna’s parents gave her a mobile phone for her birthday. But it wasn’t the kind of phone she wanted and Anna threw it on the floor. The phone broke into smithereens all over the room. Imagine her astonishment and that of her brother Niko, when the broken phone began to ring. In April 2003 five writers came together under the patronage of LAF (literature Across Frontiers.)
They were locked into a hut in the Pyrenees and ordered to write an exciting story for teenagers, two chapters each. Anna and Niko is the result of their efforts, an international story that will make its readers both old and young, laugh and cry.
The illustrations are by Aidan Harte.
