Bjarne Reuter (born 29 April 1950) is a Danish writer and screenwriter, best known for children's and young adult books.

Reuter is the screenwriter of the popular Danish television series and movie Busters verden ("Buster's World"). In 1977 he was awarded with the Danish Ministry of Culture's children book prize. He won the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis for best children's book in 2000, recognising the German-language edition of En som Hodder (1998), and was a finalist for the youth book prize in 2003, for the work published in English as The Ring of the Slave Prince (2004).
For his lasting contribution as a children's writer, Reuter was a finalist for the biennial, international Hans Christian Andersen Award in both 2002 and 2004.
Denne historie bygger på en begivenhed som den dag i dag er et mysterium. I 1934 forlader et skib Zanzibars havn med kurs mod Danmark. Ombord er otte mænd og fem kvinder. To af dem har fået bygget et hus som de skal hjem til. Men skibet går ned med mand og mus og huset står tomt i 70 år, indtil dørene åbnes for en lejrskole med elleve børn og to lærere. Gradvist går det op for klassen, at der er en skæbnesvanger sammenhæng mellem dem selv og passagererne på skibet 'Pemba', der forsvandt sporløst ud for øen Tristan de Cunha...
En drønspændende psykologisk gyser for større børn og unge, en bog der får de små nakkehår til at stritte.
Skuespiller David Owe læser bogen højt.
