I kjølvannet av at den amerikanske utgaven av «Sangen om en brukket nese» ble tildelt Batchelder Honor Book fra The American Library Association, har boka fått enda mer oppmerksomhet i USA. «The Ballad of a Broken Nose» er på listen over Outstanding International Books 2017 fra United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY) og på listen over de beste bøkene utkommet i 2016 fra Wellfleet Public Library. Blogger Book Club skriver dessuten: «This book is very substantial because it includes topics of weight discrimination, bullying, hiding talents, coping, keeping and hiding secrets and more. You will find much to reflect on in this book: «It’s a bit like my life has its own soundtrack. It’s a pretty boring movie, with overdramatic music». «Conversations like that are a bit like skating. Suddenly you veer off to the side and fall flat on your face.» «Whatever, I do like to let my thoughts go wandering before the day takes over».«You regret telling something you didn’t want anyone to know». This child goes through a lot and never, ever loses control or complains. Is that typical Norwegian or is Bart just a wonderful guy?» Les mer om «Sangen om en brukket nese»
