Captured in London

Ingeborg Dybvig

It's the Easter holiday, and Clara is back staying with her grandparents in England, this time joined by her friend Emilie. When Grandma breaks her leg, the girls are kindly permitted to travel into London alone. There's shopping to be done on Oxford Street, after all. But then they see a man beaten up, and when they attempt to help him he thrusts a quadrangular contraption upon them. 'Don't go to the police,' he whispers. Clara has promised everyone that she won't play detective anymore. The girls make their way to the railway station With haste, but it's not their fault that somebody is on their tail... 13-year-old Clara has a tendency to get caught up in mysteries and criminal activities. Enthusiastic readers have followed her adventures throughout four books thus far, and it makes sense that they will also want to join Clara and Emilie in London – on a shopping trip, of course…

Maradona’s Moral

Arild Stavrum

It is the Norway Cup and football tournament. Ekebergsletta is full to bursting with hopeful football players. Mikke is taking part wearing Maradona's magic football boots. The ones that once made Maradona the best football player ever. With them Mikke is a superstar on the pitch, but still, all is not as it should be. Will success cost Mikke his friends and girlfriend? And will we finally find out who is the better player out of Mikke and his rival Sondre Goma from Clausenengen and Nordlandet? Maradonas moral is the third book in the trilogy about Mikke Milnbergan and his friends. ‘This is a book about passion and dreams, about wanting to be the best. And the latter is something that Stavrum does very well indeed. The games are described well, the nerve of the players clearly depicted. Maradonas moral will make old football legends dream of the old days, and young hopefuls have another go with the ball in the garden. Young football players will love this book, and little is better than that.’DEMOKRATEN

The Serpent’s Egg

Alexander Løken

Don't miss The Serpent´s Egg, the follow-up to the critically-acclaimed The Troll Skull. Edvard Frost (15) is bored of working as a dogsbody for The Collector. One day, a soaking wet sea captain arrives with a hand-drawn map, and The Collector rallies his best crew for a new expedition. But the hunt for the Midgard Serpent's egg is dangerous, and Edvard ends up in much deeper trouble than he thought possible. Alexander Løken's critically-acclaimed debut book, The Troll Skull, was nominated for both ARK's children's book prize and Bokslukerprisen. This is the follow-up, which with well-timed humour and a fast pace takes Edvard and the reader far out to sea and even deeper into Nordic mythology. Now we can but wait for the trilogy's exciting conclusion! ‘This is so refreshing a fantasy series that it can only leave people wanting more, and not only young readers, but also young-at-heart adult readers who can’t get enough of dark depths and impenetrable secrets. This is simply amazing.’ HAMAR ARBEIDERBLAD ‘The story itself is also exciting and unpredictable, with a logical coherence that the reader will be quick to grasp. … captivating and well-written fantasy book for young people.’ VÅRT LAND

INGHILL + CARLA = TRUE LOVE

Ingeborg Arvola

Inghill loves Carla, her pony. She loves riding, jumping and flying through the air on the back of the world’s most beautiful pony. But now Carla is injured and limping on her hind leg, so Inghill cannot ride her. She can’t even walk her. And it doesn’t look like it’ll get better. It helps somewhat to ride other ponies, but none of them are as good as Carla. None of them ARE Carla. Inghill’s love of horses is on its way to being replaced by horse sorrow thanks to the loss of Carla. This is Ingeborg Arvola’s third book about Inghill and Carla. A horse trilogy for all horse lovers, but also for all book lovers. Heroines like Inghill are few and far between. A tough girl with a big heart which beats loud and clear for those being bullied, those experiencing injustice and, of course, for horses!

MARADONA’S GOAL

Arild Stavrum

Mikke is despairing. Once again he is an average football player on Clausenengen’s boys’ team. The magic from Maradona’s captain’s armband, which Mikke found in Naples and which made him a fantastic football player for a while, is gone. Clausenengen will only beat Nordlandet and Sondre Goma in the Norway Cup, if Mikke, Hansa and Shearer don’t find new items of clothing that Maradona wore when he played. And where better to look than in Maradona’s home town, Buenos Aires? The magic is gone. The hunt continues. Game on! Maradonas mål is the second book in Stavrum’s football trilogy. Football, feel-good and magic! ‘Arild Stavrum has written a wonderful book about friendship, football, scary villains, lovers and superstars! [...] In this book, author Arild Stavrum also shows his magical powers. Or to be more precise, magical storytelling powers. [...] Here you will find excitement, action and football magic that surpasses your wildest dreams.’Kickerz 12/2014‘The narrative tempo is fast with short, clear chapters. [...] Stavrum writes a lot of humour and warmth into the story, in the uncertainty of the main character’s romantic relationship with Kari and his close relationship with his father. It is here that author Stavrum’s best qualities are revealed. [...] Stavrum subtly peppers the text with fascinating football history.’Romsdals Budstikke

The troll skull

Alexander Løken

Christiania, 1887 The eccentric collector has come into possession of a mystical skull, and sends an expedition force to the deepest forests of Østerdal to investigate whether the skull could be that of a troll. 14-year-old orphan and errand boy Edvard Frost suddenly finds himself on a train in his role as Professor Wolf's assistant and the guardian of the skull. Edvard is sure of himself on the streets of Christiania, but among the pine trees, mountains and tough village girls he feels isolated. Out here is a life that he never thought he'd experience – and creatures he never believed existed. Norway's history teems with trolls and wood nymphs, but where have they gone? Why don't we see them any longer? Where can they be hiding? Stylish and brutal‘The winning factor in Løken’s work is the way the narrative and novel form are situated well over 100 years back in time. It creates a retro vibe that is just as full of stylish charm as it is of suspense, and a good dose of troll combat! Most thrilling, however, is how terrifying and quite simply foul the trolls are […] He makes sure to bestow the trolls with a threatening presence that they have long lacked. All the while, Løken has created a highly interesting group to embark upon the dangerous expedition. […] And it is soon revealed that Alexander Løken commands a style and language that is splendidly suited to dealing with the book’s content. Injecting life back into trolls within Norwegian thrillers for children is no simple task, but he carries this off with aplomb. Trollskallen is a characteristically Norwegian fantasy novel, just as original as it is expertly accomplished.’HAMAR ARBEIDERBLAD ‘Løken is skilled at building up excitement, and the trepidation quickly creeps up on the reader whether in rainy city streets or deep, dark forests. The author's efficient use of language has much to commend it: concise sentences and good use of perspective frequently make the reader jump when surprises emerge from unexpected places. […] I’m glad that the conclusion paves the way for a sequel.’Dagbladet A brutal expedition in a Norwegian wonderland‘Debut author Alexander Løken has written a spirited thriller that makes use of content from Norwegian fairytales and narrative patterns with their foundation in European storytelling traditions. The novel exists comfortably within the genre boundaries on both a stylistic and thematic level. There’s barely a moment for the reader to catch their breath – from start to finish the novel seems to whizz by as good and evil once again pit themselves against one another. […] The plot is convincingly composed, with several threads that must be drawn together; we must hope that the small remaining knots in the intertwining web of narrative threads are detangled in a sequel. Løken has created a thrilling and appealing world.’Barnebokkritikk.no
