Little Finn lives with his mother at Årvoll, Oslo. During the year of President Kennedy, the Berlin Wall and Jurij Gagarin, life is electrical, beautiful and stubbornly social-democratic. But one day a mysterious little half-sister arrives “with an atom-charge in a light blue suitcase” and turns life upside-down. This powerful depiction of childhood shows how both wonderful and dangerous it is to be a child.

STAVANGER AFTENBLAD
'A book that makes you laugh and cry – what more can you wish for? That it does not end after 264 pages, but lasts into next week … Child Wonder is nothing less than a perfect masterpiece.'
DAGSAVISEN
'Wonderful! Child Wonder is a new addition to an extraordinarily rich authorship.'
AFTENPOSTEN
'If Child Wonder is not one of the bestselling titles this fall, I don’t understand any of the mechanisms in Norwegian book business.'
