Škampi v glavi
Oč je vedno uporabljal take žiletke za britje. Sem jih videla, ko jih je odlagal v kopalnici na umivalnik. Ko jih je porabil. Nikoli jih ni vrgel v smeti. Kako je mat znorela zaradi tega. Otrok se lahko ureže, je vreščala. Potem so prišli najbrž drugi patenti. S polovičko britvice ali nekim ostrim rezilom, vpetim v plastiko in s podaljškom v plastični ročaj. Kar pripravnim tudi za britje nog. Četudi oč opazi, da ni edini, ki uporablja te stvari, nič ne reče. Ja, on tolikokrat nič ne reče. Kot da se mu jebe. Pa vem, da se mu ne, a vseeno tako deluje. Saj to poznam. Ko se delaš, da ni nič. Mogoče pa res ni nič. Si rečem včasih, ko bi me tisti očev sajninič moral zaboleti, pa me ne. Kot da tisti sajninič zadane ob neko skorjo, s katero sem obdala svojo notranjost. Ne, če sem čisto natančna. Ni skorja. Skorja je hrapava Tista reč okoli mene pa je gladka. Hladna. Hladna kot kovina. Ja, kovina je. Jekleni zid. Nekaj takega. Cvetka Bevc

The Škampi v glavi is her seventh book for youth and children. From the accompanying text
Cvetka Bevc, a poetess and a writer, who wrote many children and youth works among others, decided to describe in her novel Škampi v glavi a company of fifteen-year-olds, attendees of gymnasium high school, who all tohether and individually experience the beautiful and at the same time extremely tough period of growing up. She presents them to the readers in depth (psychologically) and in width (sociologically). She does that in sixteen chapters of the book; and sixteen is the number they are about to reach in their age. In these chapters all characters have their monologues: Lara, Tisa, Damir, Gizi, Gaja, Pigs and others. Every person seeks his or hers place in the society, the young especially. This book speaks about the fellowship of five and their relationships, moving on the orbits of friendship and love.
