101 Things to do Before You Grow Up

Nils Petter Mørland / Mikkel Niva

You have to learn lots of weird things before you become a grown-up: reading, writing, putting your hand up in class, brushing your teeth, saying “Yes, please” and “No, thank you” and “How are you doing?”. But you’ll learn absolutely NONE of that in 101 things to do Before You Grow up. This book is about all the funny, crazy, exciting, wonderful and magical things you can do in childhood that grownups don’t often get to do. Suggested activities include: Talking in rhyme! Living backwards for a day! Going on holiday at home! Swapping families! Readers are guided through an inventive universe of short texts and colourful illustrations that are bursting with energy, humour and playfulness. The book aims to encourage children to hold onto the unique aspects of childhood that also, oddly enough, help make us better, cooler and more creative grownups later in life.

There's something in the water

Sidsel Jøranlid

An easy reader that's just scary enough, just dark enough. A perfect summer holiday read! The summer vacation is here, and Ella will spend three weeks at the cabin. It's on a tiny little island just off the coast somwhere. And it's storming! Ella feels trapped on the island in the chaotic weather. What's even worse: the electricity disappears and she must share a bedroom with her older brother. It's clammy, grey and sultry. And Ella has promised her brother to go swimming in the sea every day, regardless of the weather. Suddenly, strange things start to happen. The sea throws fish on land, the beach is flooded with jellyfish, the uneasy feeling spreads. Then people start disappearing.

An Enemy of the People

An Enemy of the People

Kåre Conradi

An Enemy of the People tell the story of Dr Stockmann, who discovers that the bathing water in the city’s spa is contaminated with dangerous bacteria. He expects people to value his discovery and thinks it will help improve the city. Instead, his political enemies try to destroy him, attempting to silence him with threats. Dr Stockmann stands his ground, but at great personal cost, also to his family. An Enemy of the People is a play that outraged people in its day, but that has gained fresh relevance in our own era. This is the first book in a new series for children about the works of Henrik Ibsen. With the aid of illustrations and simplified text suitable for younger readers, the series aims to introduce Ibsen’s plays to new generations all over the world. Ibsen is the world’s second-most performed playwright after Shakespeare. This series will give children an understanding of what Ibsen’s texts are about and what they can teach us today. «In both [An Enemy of the People and Peer Gynt], it is evident that [Conradi] has Ibsen in his backbone. This is precisely why he manages to convey the complex with ease, making him well-equipped to connect with and engage children through these retellings.»BARNEBOKRITIKK.NO

Why Don't We Burst with Rage?

Benjamin Baarli Silseth

In Why Don't We Burst with Rage? children learn the answers to both big and small questions about feelings. What is self-confidence? Why do we dread certain things? Is it normal not to be in love with anyone? And why are so many people bad-tempered when they wake up? Why Don't We Burst with Rage? is informative and easy to grasp with fun illustrations. It is a perfect conversation starter about feelings for children aged six to nine years. «Benjamin Silseth writes with a friendly tone and lots of knowledge, and he is good at normalising different feelings. He gives advice on how to deal with anger, for example, and emphasises how important it is to speak to someone you trust if you are going through something difficult.»KLASSEKAMPEN

Locotopia in the Renaissance is the fifth book in Simon Stranger’s critically acclaimed series about the world history – a series that’s as hilarious as it’s educational.

Odd and Even Odder Jobs

Bjørn F. Rørvik

A book of fun facts about really odd jobs that you’ll never believe exist. Most children wonder what they’ll be when they grow up. Who doesn’t dream of being a footballer or a popstar? Or maybe a firefighter, a doctor, a hairdresser or a lawyer? But why do the same thing as everyone else? Why not do something completely different? How about being a dinosaur-duster, a snake-milker or an armpit-sniffer? In Odd and Even Odder Jobs, Bjørn F. Rørvik has come up with more than 50 professions that you probably never knew existed. There’s plenty of fun and peculiar stuff, and some of the jobs sound really unlikely. But all of them are absolutely real – and all of them need to be done!
