Leona in Prize Trouble

Anneli Klepp

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.

In King of the Forest, you can not only read about how moose live and what they eat, but also about what moose milk tastes like and why the mooses’ stomach produces 400 litres of gas per day. You can even learn how to call a moose. Author and illustrator Line Halsnes has met Norwegian, Swedish and Russian moose. She has dived into all the available books about moose, spoken to moose researchers and other experts – and she has travelled deep into Russia to visit a proper moose farm.
