Overview Farlig oppdrag

Astrid Linderud was six when war broke out and by the time she was eight, she was already doing her bit by delivering bread and packages to the resistance movement. Later, she also guided refugees across the border to Sweden.

Astrid’s story is full of exciting episodes, fear, courage and wisdom. Through Astrid, we gain insight into what life was like in wartime for the children of resistance members – and realise just how much courage and hope it took to do this vital work.

Reviews Farlig oppdrag

Grenselosen Astrid 23.09.2024

Boken er pedagogisk lagt opp, med nydelige illustrasjoner. Den gir mye god bakgrunnsinformasjon om den spennende historien.

Inger Heiberg Woxholt, Aftenposten historie

«Har det vore krig i Noreg?» 07.09.2024

Ti år gamal var Astrid Sjelmo kurér og grenselos under krigen. Boka om henne fortener mange lesarar.

Illustrasjonane i boka er laga av Camilla Billett, som får til den gode blandinga av figurar som ser barnlege ut, men som seier svært mykje med få strekar.

... ein ypparleg tekst eg varmt kan tilrå både som høgtlesing i klasserom, på sengekanten, eller for lesevande barn med interesse for krigen og spennande historier.

Ane Barmen, Klassekampen
