The aim of this master’s thesis is to see how a medial transformation of a book with a focus on the book’s intrigue can give a new depth of reading to the children that has joined the activity boktrailerkollo. What extent the project can give a deeper understanding for the children that has been involved in the creating process or if book trailers foremost will be a sweetener for reading. I am using a quality interview as method with a book talk template as framework. My informants are the three children that has created the book trailer. The essay’s perspective is in the literature didactic fork of literary studies. Book trailer camp was a literary experiment and the five parts (reading, discussion, producing, watching our production, discussing our production) made it a kind of intense multi activity that I want to connect to Art literacy. My primary material was the book Spökjägare by Martin Jern, it’s content the children and I have analysed and shaped thru a book trailer. To recreate the book became complex and almost impossible, instead it became two separate works from the same basic plot: the book trailer became our own production of such a common interpretation we could achieve. A clear result was that the children wanted to create another book trailer, which means that they will read again and reflect over the intrigue of the book. Since the children were accustomed readers, they would most likely have done it anyway, but they resumed an extra experience this time with the reflections of characters and the intrigues - even though the story partly lost its meaning due to practical interpretations. One of the children said that he has recommended the book and lent it to friends which also is a result: spreading the word of reading. Through these observations I think that book trailers is a good tool for exploring reading, and will work with those students that have expressed that they don’t read much and need a goal and a sweetener with reading.
