Leona in Prize Trouble

Norwegian title: Min første leseløve - Leona 2: Leona i premietrøbbel

Illustrated by Cathrine Sandmæl

Leona comes up with the weirdest ideas and always ends up in trouble. She’s a mixture of Pippi Longstocking and Roald Dahl’s Matilda, with an oomph that would make her the envy of any child.

In Book 2, her class takes a trip to the forest. Their teacher is in a really bad, mood but Leona has an idea about how to cheer him up. Everybody likes prizes – especially teachers! What luck that Leona has brought along plenty of things in her school bag that she can now put to good use. But will burnt sausages, muddy water, a jar of hare poo and pupils falling from the trees make the teacher any happier? It’s a nice thought, but Leona ends up in prize trouble.

The experienced easy-reading author Anneli Klepp is the writer behind this fun series. She and illustrator Cathrine Sandmæl have managed to create a whole new universe that children will love getting to know.
