The Book Devourer

Norwegian title: Bokslukeren

Thick and exciting comic book for devourers of books!

In Bjørn Ousland’s new action comic book series, books and reading are at the forefront. It all begins with a book club put together by three children. One day the books start disappearing – not just from their own shelves, but also from the school library and libraries all over the country. And it doesn’t just happen one book at a time, but all of them at the same time!

The book club decides they need to make a plan. One night they see the thief – a strange flying creature who brings them to a tiny island far, far out at sea. There they’re captured by a strange little man – and suddenly the story takes a new turn.

Bjørn Ousland has years of experience as a comic book illustrator, and he’s published a range of picture books and comic books, as well as educational and engaging non-fiction titles about polar heroes and feats. This book, however, is something entirely new!
