Van den Bogaart won in 2005 de debutantenprijs van de jonge jury voor haar eerste boek De gele scooter[1]. Daarnaast stond zij ook op de lijst voor de kerntitels van de jonge jury voor haar boeken Prooi, No deal en Verdoofd Ilias, Kim, Suzie en Stephan: vier jongeren die door criminaliteit, vandalisme of incest in serieuze moeilijkheden zijn gekomen. Willen ze nog iets van hun leven maken of kiezen ze voor een uitzichtloze toekomst waarin hun problemen zich opstapelen? Hun laatste alternatief is een zorgboerderij in Zuid-Frankrijk, waar strenge regels gelden, keihard gewerkt moet worden, geen luxe aanwezig is en directe levensbehoeften het dagelijks leven bepalen. De confrontatie met elkaar en vooral ook met zichzelf is erg groot, evenals de verleiding om te ontsnappen aan de strenge hand van de begeleiders

Millennium 1 The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was never found, yet her uncle is convinced it was murder - and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family. He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the tattooed, truculent computer hacker Lisbeth Salander to investigate. When the pair link Harriet's disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history. But the Vangers are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves. Millennium 2 The Girl Who Played With Fire Lisbeth Salander is a wanted woman. Two Millennium journalists about to expose the truth about the sex trade in Sweden are brutally murdered, and Salander's prints are on the weapon. Her history of unpredictable and vengeful behaviour makes her an official danger to society - but no-one can find her anywhere. Meanwhile, Mikael Blomkvist, editor-in-chief of Millennium, will not believe what he hears on the news. Knowing Salander to be fierce when fearful, he is desperate to get to her before she is cornered and alone. As he fits the pieces of the puzzle together, he comes up against some hardened criminals, including the chainsaw-wielding 'blond giant' - a fearsomely huge thug who can feel no pain. Digging deeper, Blomkvist also unearths some heart-wrenching facts about Salander's past life. Committed to psychiatric care aged 12, declared legally incompetent at 18, this is a messed-up young woman who is the product of an unjust and corrupt system. Yet Lisbeth is more avenging angel than helpless victim - descending on those that have hurt her with a righteous anger terrifying in its intensity and truly wonderful in its outcome. Millennium #3 The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest Salander is plotting her revenge - against the man who tried to kill her, and against the government institutions that very nearly destroyed her life. But it is not going to be a straightforward campaign. After taking a bullet to the head, Salander is under close supervision in Intensive Care, and is set to face trial for three murders and one attempted murder on her eventual release. With the help of journalist Mikael Blomkvist and his researchers at Millennium magazine, Salander must not only prove her innocence, but identify and denounce the corrupt politicians that have allowed the vulnerable to become victims of abuse and violence. Once a victim herself, Salander is now ready to fight back.
