The fate of both the human and magical worlds rests on Peter’s shoulders in an intense showdown that brings the series to a breathtaking conclusion.

The Book Devourer

Bjørn Ousland

Thick and exciting comic book for devourers of books! In Bjørn Ousland’s new action comic book series, books and reading are at the forefront. It all begins with a book club put together by three children. One day the books start disappearing – not just from their own shelves, but also from the school library and libraries all over the country. And it doesn’t just happen one book at a time, but all of them at the same time! The book club decides they need to make a plan. One night they see the thief – a strange flying creature who brings them to a tiny island far, far out at sea. There they’re captured by a strange little man – and suddenly the story takes a new turn. Bjørn Ousland has years of experience as a comic book illustrator, and he’s published a range of picture books and comic books, as well as educational and engaging non-fiction titles about polar heroes and feats. This book, however, is something entirely new!

The Key

Aleksander Kirkwood Brown

Two Hulders are trying to steal Tyri’s medallion, a key she has promised her father to protect at all costs. Tyri and Peter realize something is going on, and they must hide the key. At the midnight market in Oslo's Royal Park, they meet Bhurai, who reveals that the key protects the Floral, an ancient and powerful magical artifact. If the Floral's power is unleashed, it could have devastating consequences for the world. Together, Peter and Tyri descend further into the underground city, facing unknown dangers in their quest to protect the artifact. This is the second book in a critically acclaimed urban and magical graphic novel about friendship and commitment, based on fairytales, folklore and intense action. Aleksander Kirkwood Brown is skilled at creating exciting and original stories, based mostly on fairytales and Norse folklore. Kirkwood Brown is original in the sense that he combines the vernacular folklore traditions with an urban, modern story and personal challenges which contemporary readers can recognise. Luis Guaragna is a well-known and talented graphic novel illustrator with an international career. In The Undercities series he wishes to combine his own Italian-Argentinian background with the Norwegian world of fiction. Both his illustrations and characters are rich with traces of folkloric traditions – emphasising that the population of the Underground City is just as diverse as those of us who live above ground. Reviews «The second book in the Undercities series makes the reader thirst for more. ... a refreshing and different fantasy title.»Empirix «Undercities 2: The Key does exactly what the middle part of a fantasy trilogy should do; it sharpens the conflicts, expands the universe, and pumps up the tension ahead of the grand finale.»D2 «Magical realism is a literary term, but with The Undercities series one may be able to launch a new term: realistic magic. Brown and Guaragna manage to bring people and supernatural beings to life in a very convincing way.»Serienett.no
