Overview Carla, min Carla

Inghill is crazy about horses. She wants a horse more than anything else in the world. She thinks about horses, she talks about horses and she has her own horse – at least on a fake Facebook profile. But she is constantly exposed as a liar.

Luckily she goes riding at the riding school, but she is too young to join the stable gang, and it is not enough to be on horseback twice a week. Then, one day, Mum and Dad lose their senses and give Inghill a horse for Christmas. Even if it is only spoilt rich daddy's girls who have horses! They find a stable nearby, and Inghill is the world's happiest girl. But her pony Carla is also a bit crazy and Inghill cannot quite manage to control her. One day it all goes terribly wrong! Carla gets frightened, runs out and slips on the ice – and Inghill breaks her arm. It does not help Inghill much that she is tougher than most, that she has two friends who are almost her best friends and a half-Indian friend whom she has integrated personally. It is only Carla that counts – and she has to be sold!

Carla, min Carla is the story of Inghill: about what it is like to be a horse-crazy girl, about friendship and bullying, about fending for yourself and about taking responsibility for yourself and for those you love.

‘Ingeborg Arvola writes insightfully and with spirit about young girls and horses.’
Gudbrandsdølen Dagningen

‘Entertaining and well-written, quite simply a book about horses in a class of its own.’
Rana Blad

‘As a book about horses, this is a wonderful example… What qualifies it as such is the touching and realistic portrayal of the young horse Carla, not to mention Inghill’s relationship to her.’
Barnebokkritikk.no

‘In this book every girl with a love for horses has found a novel written with her in mind, telling the tale of the horse-mad Inghill and her pony, Carla. But Ingeborg Arvola’s novel is more than that; it’s an easy read, well written and features an amusing plotline… It’s terrific that young adult novels are now exciting whilst also exhibiting clear literary quality…’

Reviews Carla, min Carla

Artig om hest

"Her har alle hestegale jenter fått sin roman, romanen om den hestegale Inghill og ponnien Carla. Men romanen til Ingeborg Arvola er mer enn det; den er lettlest, velskrevet og artig lesning for de fleste (...) Det er flott at det kommer ungdomsbøker som er spennende og samtidig har klare litterære kvaliteter (...) Personskildringene til Ingeborg Arvola er sympatiske og innsiktsfulle, og skaper nysgjerrighet om fortsettelsen (...) Jeg tror det blir ei populær bok med mange lesere, ikke bare hestegale jenter."

Margoth Hovda-Lien , Nordlys

Nydeleg hestebok

"Dette er ei hestebok i beste hestebokstil med eit klassisk hestebokplott. Plottet er som venta, og konfliktane dei same som i alle rideskulebøker. Det som kvalifiserer boka til nydeleg, er dei rørande realistiske skildringane av unghesten Carla, og Inghill sin relasjon til henne.[...] Carla, min Carla går unna i ein fykande fei. Parallellhistorier om mobbing, og om å stå opp for seg sjølv, gir autentisitet og fleire dimensjonar til Inghill og miljøet utanfor rideskulen. Arvola har skapt ei ny hestebok. Plottet er det same gamle, men trøkket er nytt. Carla, min Carla er ei bok for tøffe hestejenter."

Anne Viken, Barnebokkritikk.no

Friskt om hestedilla

Ingeborg Arvola skriver innsiktsfullt og med nerve om unge jenter og hest. Det er stødig realisme rundt fortellingen. Personskildringene er nære; forfatteren forstår tydeligvis hva som rører seg i aldersgruppen «Carla, min Carla» er myntet på, og har peiling på tidlig ungdom.

Per Ivar Henriksbø , Gudbrandsdølen Dagningen

Hestebok i 1. divisjon

"Underholdende og velskrevet, rett og slett ei hestebok i særklasse."

Anita Hartviksen Ravn, Rana Blad

Hest og jente på vinterføre

"Inghill er ein litterær karakter som gjer inntrykk, skildringa av henne er den finaste kvaliteten ved boka. Ho imponerer ved sin lojalitet og kjærleik, ho mistar ikkje interessa sjølv om Carla er krevjande."

Ingeborg Mjør, Dag og Tid
