NEVER fall in love

Solveig Moen Rusten

Lea is starting to get bored. Her best friend Alexa talks about nothing but boys (something Lea will never do, that’s for sure!) and her big sister Jenny just lies around in her room crying. Lea really wants to help Jenny. But how? And what about Alexa? Will she find herself a boyfriend? And why does Oscar in Lea’s class keep smiling like that every time they meet? NEVER fall in Love is a tale of first crushes and friendship, sisterly love and bicycle sabotage. And about sharing pictures that shouldn’t be shared.

Buffy By Gets in the Christmas Spirit

Ingeborg Arvola

Christmas is going to be a bit different for Buffy By and her brother Bobby. This Advent, their mum Lillie is recovering from a brain tumour, but she’s still sick. When Grandma Olava goes back home to Northern Norway, Dad, Jimmy – an incorrigible small-time crook and liar – turns up and fills their flat with mysterious boxes. Buffy doesn’t know quite what to make of it all. Of course it would be nice to have a proper family Christmas, but she knows Jimmy will vanish as soon as he has offloaded the “presents.” And he isn’t exactly a Dad worth having – or relying on. Meanwhile, preparations are underway for the school Nativity play in which Buffy is going to play the Baby Jesus – who will be born onstage. This is the fourth book in Ingeborg Arvola’s critically acclaimed series about Buffy By. Although it isn’t an Advent calendar, we follow Buffy, Bobby and all the other characters from December 1 to 24, in a book that is funny, dramatic and utterly charming.

They are all alone an old hotel. Or are they really all alone? Suddenly Oksana vanishes and the hotel starts to change. Or is it just Sanna and Robin’s imagination? They hear footsteps, the walls seem to start moving, and a mysterious grey girl appears and asks them for help. Then they find Oksana – but she’s in one of the many class pictures on the wall. Something is wrong. Terribly wrong! Sanna, who loves horror films, realises that they’ve ended up in a scary movie – and they won’t be able to escape until they find out what the hotel wants from them. It may help to know every horror movie trick and tip in the book – but that doesn’t make it any less scary to be trapped in a living, crazy and super-scary hotel with a bunch of schoolkids from the days of the Second World War.
