Dick pics and other disasters

Michael Stilson

Jonas is head-over-heels for Manuela, the new girl at school. But he has zero experience with girls – and even less of a clue about how to get their attention. Then he overhears some classmates talking about how effective sending dick pics can be. Desperate and wildly misguided, Jonas decides to give it a try. But taking a decent pic turns out to be harder than expected – bad lighting, awkward angles, hiding behind a curtain so no one sees him... and then, disaster: he sends it to the wrong person. Not just anyone – he sends it to his mum. It's already the worst thing that’s ever happened to Jonas. But then it gets worse: his phone is confiscated for the rest of the day. No scrolling, no games, no chats. Just a full Saturday – offline. With Brutus. His weirdest friend. What do people even do without a screen? Go outside? Play hide-and-seek? Ding dong ditch? Steal apples?One disaster leads to another… until, a miracle happens. This outrageous, laugh-out-loud novel takes place over the course of a single day. A day full of poor choices, absurd moments, and one unforgettable miracle. With sharp humor and big heart, Michael Stilson captures both the horror of sending the world’s worst text and the strange, unpredictable freedom of being offline. Inspired by Stilson’s year-long participation in NRK’s Avlogga project, where he lived without a smartphone, the book is a bold, timely look at teenage life, social media addiction, and what happens when the signal goes dead – and real life kicks in.

Buddy

Fabian Christensen

If it wasn’t for his best buddy Mikkel, Jørgen would probably have died of a stomach ulcer. Or loneliness. Or making an absolute fool of himself in front of the prettiest girl at school. But as long as Mikkel has his back, things are mostly fine, according to Jørgen. Still - it's not easy to be fourteen and living in the shadow of your picture-perfect best friend. During their last days of 9th grade, Jørgen and Mikkel's friendship will be put to the test in more ways than one. At the same time, Jørgen must navigate his crush on Mikkel's cousin, becoming the joke of a TikTok meme, and some deadly serious family matters. And in the end, maybe the time has finally come for Jørgen to be Mikkel's lifesaver. Buddy is an impressive debut by Fabian Christensen, the winner of Cappelen Damm’s New Voices Manuscript competition 2023. It's a novel full of heart, dramatic twists and turns - and plenty of awkward, situational comedy that will have you both cringing and howling with laughter. All the while underscoring the importance of honest conversations.

Otherwise I’m not a Human Being

Agnar Lirhus

Mathilde is fourteen. She doesn't want to go to school. Mom doesn't understand what's going on – even when Mathilde ends up in the hospital. Mathilde doesn't have any friends other than a dog named Eddi, and Xiu, a friend she plays with online. But Xiu also has his, or her, own problems. Otherwise I'm not a Human Being is about being bullied, but still standing up for yourself, for others, and for the world. And about the fact that most things are the grown ups' fault. Nominated to the Critic's Prize 2018

THE WORLD’S CUTEST TOURIST

Rune Belsvik

Times are good in Bløygen. A bus full of tourists have shopped and stayed at the hotel, and the council and people of Bløygen have bought a new lamppost, escalator and more Christmas decorations. But after a while everything’s back to normal and the mayor, Rosina Myrl, wonders how they might attract more tourists. Bidger and Esmiluni live in Bløygen and love one another. But Bidger dreams of something more. He dreams of being a father. He goes to the Bin Tramp at Trouble Kiosk for advice. But no one knows where children come from. There are only 13 people in Bløygen and that’s all there’s been for a long time. The Bin Tramp finds a book with explanations and instructions for making children. Bidger and Esmiluni try and really enjoy it. They try again and again just in case a child doesn’t come. Rosina Myrl is enthusiastic at first – now they can make their own tourists! But she thinks the method is disgusting and is quite unwilling to try it. This is the third story from Bløygen. Rune Belsvik writes about something important and quintessentially human in a direct and concrete way. All children are interested in where they came from, and this book explains it in a way which is both beautiful and funny. Rune Belsvik uses poetic and vivid language and it is a great pleasure to read his books. ‘This book provides the cutest sexual education imaginable. An adult reader will be heartily amused, a child will learn about things that it might be useful for them to know, and a young adult will maybe be slightly embarrassed, but enjoy it nonetheless. ... 6 out 6FÆDRELANDSVENNEN‘Belsvik serves up the absurd cleverly combined with everyday situations in which we recognise ourselves. [...] Even very young children spend a lot of time thinking about and trying to understand what in the world is needed to make a baby, where they come from and what parents have to do to make it possible. In this book, we follow the entire process in a somewhat absurd yet also altogether serious manner.’DAGBLADET The press about the first books from Bløygen:‘The strength of Belsvik’s text lies first and foremost in all the meetings and conversations between the inhabitants of Bløygen.’BARNEBOKKRITIKK.NO 'The author plays with both the language and, not least, the reader.'FÆDRELANDSVENNEN
