Playing dirty

Norwegian title: Skittent spill

Cover illustration by Bård Sletvold Torkildsen

A fun, action-packed book about evil criminals and good helpers. Who's got it in for Oslo's game shops and toy stores? Why are parents being encouraged to sell their kids' game consoles and throw out their computer games? In the course of 48 hours, Jørgen's life is turned upside down. When his school bag is stolen and his mum vanishes, the only person who can help him is homeless man, Bomsen. And Bomsen has some pretty wild ideas about how Jørgen can get his stuff back – and bring the games shops back to the city.
