The Mountain is Haunted
Children's Books2023 · 112 pp · Age 6 - 12

The Mountain is Haunted

Sidsel Jøranlid

An easy-to-read ghost story. Just scary enough, just dark enough. Mum has inherited a cabin from her uncle Gunnar. Simon and his family have only been there a few times, but every single time they arrive at the cabin Simon gets a creepy feeling. He definitely doesn’t want to be there. But it’s the Easter holidays, and they should be spent at the cabin. During their holidays, Simon’s creepy feeling begins to manifest in some specific suspicions. There’s something happening at the abandoned mountain lodge across the road. And didn’t something seem odd about the other children Simon and his sister met? One of Bok365's best books of 2023«Sidsel Jøranlid has written a really scary story. It's a horror of the good old kind, where the mind is drawn to Norwegian horror classics, like Andre Bjerke's The Lake of the Dead (De dødes tjern).»BOK365, six/six stars «That a middle grade book is easily read, is thankfully no hinder for it also being really scary.»KLASSEKAMPEN «Sidsel Jøranlid does not give you all the answers, it's up to you what to believe. She has written a story that ranges from the mundane, which the children will recognize, to what can be experienced as scary when it's dark - then she really gives in to superstition and rumours.»HAMAR ARBEIDERBLAD

The Drone Catcher
Literature and Fiction / Children's Books2023 · 152 pp · Age 6+

The Drone Catcher

Øyvind Torseter

On a small island lives the Mule Boy. He receives a warning about a catastrophe and locks himself inside his house. The rats have taken over the city. Should he escape, or should he stay put? After consideration, he bravely ventures out into the empty streets, where he finds someone who’s part of the resistance. An adventurous, apocalyptic action-filled story about isolation, being daring and giant rats. The Drone Catcher is the fifth book about Mule Boy, a series of graphic novels that blend myth, adventure and social commentary, in text and images. Mule Boy’s skewed and somewhat alienated universe enables us to see ourselves and our society with fresh eyes.Allowing plenty of time is recommended: Between Torseter's covers there is - in every way - so much going on that his broad pages are a joy to turn.KLASSEKAMPEN[The book] is large and thick, but it is wise to give yourself plenty of time on each page, to study the details. This is where the experience lies - and the opportunity to supplement with your own associations and reflections. This applies to both adult readers and children.VÅRT LANDTorseter stands firm in its art form. The overview images are colourful, intricate and detailed, while the close-ups and individual scenes are simple and immediate, with black ink and a white background. This contrasting alternation creates a good flow in the narrative.BARNEBOKKRITIKK

Watches and Bananas
Children's Books2023 · 80 pp · Age 6+

Watches and Bananas

Lars Saabye Christensen

Every morning Otto counted the watches on display in the window of Watchmaker Dante. Otto would love to buy them all. But he can’t afford that. Even though the watches showed the time, Otto was late for school anyway. After that, Watchmaker Dante set Otto’s watch back a bit. “There you go, now you have lots of time again,” he said. Watches and Bananas is a book about Otto who’s late for school because he stops to count the watches in the window of Watchmaker Dante, about Watchmaker Dante who doesn’t have time to set all the watches, about Otto’s dad who works at the banana ripening factory – and who really wants Otto to also work there one day. Otto doesn’t want to do that, but that’s not exactly easy to say either. One of the greatest Norwegian authors, Lars Saabye Christensen, has written a novel for children, in a magnificent collaboration with one of Norway’s greatest illustrators, Stian Hole. Watches and Bananas is a thoughtful and subtle book about time, watches, friendship, and bananas. And about accepting things as they are.
