There's something in the water

Norwegian title: Det er noe i vannet

Illustrated by Isabell Martinsen

An easy reader that's just scary enough, just dark enough. A perfect summer holiday read!

The summer vacation is here, and Ella will spend three weeks at the cabin. It's on a tiny little island just off the coast somwhere. And it's storming! Ella feels trapped on the island in the chaotic weather. What's even worse: the electricity disappears and she must share a bedroom with her older brother. It's clammy, grey and sultry. And Ella has promised her brother to go swimming in the sea every day, regardless of the weather.

Suddenly, strange things start to happen. The sea throws fish on land, the beach is flooded with jellyfish, the uneasy feeling spreads. Then people start disappearing.
