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

The Angel in Devil’s Gorge

Levi Henriksen

Astrid Baros is forced to accept that she can't be a child forever. She's forced to accept that she is growing and that things are changing. Plus, she has to accept that her parents are divorcing. No, actually, cross out that last part. THEY WILL NEVER DIVORCE! Astrid makes a naughty but also rather nice plan to reunite Mum and Dad. Ever so astutely she tricks them into returning to Devil's Gorge, the small Swedish island where they once camped back when they were a proper family. What she doesn't know is that on the same island a group of inconsiderate hostage takers have brought their kidnapped victim – a millionaire heir. Astrid places herself and her parents in a predicament so critical that only an angel can save them…‘…the plot in this children’s book, well suited to be read aloud, is fascinating because Levi Henriksen has chosen a sad subject – a child with divorced parents – and he lets Astrid tell us about it with power, hope and humor.’Politiken, Denmark ‘Top class action for children … At the bottom of this exciting and dramatic book lies the trauma that the divorce creates for Astrid … Most impressively, in addition to an imaginative, strong and action driven plot, is the description of the resourceful, sensitive and stubborn girl who invests everything in making her parents come together again.’Fædrelandsvennen‘…Engelen i Djevelgapet is exciting to read for old and young alike … I do not know how Henriksen has worked in his research phase, but he reveals an admirable insight into the child’s temper and mind.’Gudbrandsdølen Dagningen ‘Good children’s crime fiction … it might well be that Engelen i Djevelgapet is the start of a series of children’s books from Levi Henriksen – within the classical tradition. Because this book shows that there’s room for him there.’Hamar Arbeiderblad ‘A fresh addition to the literary children of divorced parents … [Astrid] is a competent child à la Lindgren, but at the same time a modern manipulator who lies and borrows without asking if necessary. She really is a delightful acquaintance. … A controversy with armed criminals makes for a mix of genres which satisfies everyone with a hunger for suspense.’Bergens Tidende
