The winter Olympic Games are due to take place in Tromsø, but where's the snow?Hanna reckons that something is not as it should be and discovers that somebody is holding winter as a hostage.

Reviews Vinterkrigen

Fartsfylt klimamysterium

"Fortellingen strutter av energi [...] Fatland tøyser med politisk udugelighet, med språk og det typisk norske. Hun er ikke redd for poetiske sammenlikninger i språket, og det gir boka et stort løft [...] Også Marius Renbergs illustrasjoner lager morsomme, og nødvendige, pauser i tekstmassen."

 
Maja Troberg Djuve, Dagbladet
