Kurt turns Holy
Norwegian title: Kurtby
Illustrated by Kim Hiorthøy
For ages 5–99 years
Kurt and his family are on vacation in their fork truck. They are going to Finland. But since Kurt thinks that "maps are for wimps", he gets lost and winds up in a river. The river takes them to Kurt City, where members of a cult called the Ping Pong Church live. The sect has just lost their pastor and they appoint Kurt as their new leader.
