The December Child

Irmelin Persdatter Gustavsen

An atmospheric, magical, and funny Christmas story! Every year, on the first evening of December, an elf travels to the human world. A December Child. Erja is fascinated by humans and has dreamed of becoming a December Child her whole life—even though she tends to say the wrong things and makes inventions that quite often end in disaster. But when the far-too-perfect Florian is chosen instead, Erja decides to break the rules and follow along to the human world. What happens, though, when the humans turn out to be anything but cozy and welcoming, and it almost seems as if they have forgotten Christmas altogether? The December Child is a magical and humorous Christmas tale about courage and friendship, and about how small acts can ignite big sparks.

Every player is used to be the best on their own team, so it's difficult for everyone to get used to the new constellations of players. Puck you! is not just about winning matches. It is also about what happens when the pressure becomes too great, when the joy of hockey disappears - and how to find it again. The book is full of action, emotions and a real hockey environment. You get training, away games, pressure from parents, team building and excitement on the ice. And you get friendship, jealousy, love and everything else that happens when you're a teenager. Puck you! is the third book in the series by Bjørn Tore Grøtte, but it can also be read as a stand alone.
