The Dynamite Dudes and The Buzzkiller

Alexander Istad

The Dynamite Dudes – Alex, Nikk and Proffen – attend the world’s best school with the world’s best head teacher and their lives are really quite enjoyable. One day when they arrive at school, the head teacher announces that he’s going on a long holiday with his husband. But the dudes need not worry! The head teacher has hired an incredibly talented substitute named Lars-Rune Simonsen. It doesn’t take long after Lars-Rune arrives before strange things start happening at the school. The teachers behave weirdly, almost like robots. The children stop laughing and playing during recess. The Dynamite Dudes even notice an 8-year-old who’s reading The Financial Times! Something is very wrong. The dudes decide to take the matter into their own hands, but that turns out to be easier said than done. Because who is following them through the streets of town? What’s really going on at school? And what happens when one of the brothers disappears without a trace? With the help of an old map of the underground tunnel system under the town, the chemistry kit they got for Christmas and Nikk’s large online following, the Dynamite Dudes unravel a plot bigger and more dangerous than they could ever imagine. The Dynamite Dudes and The Buzzkiller is the first book in a funny and totally crazy series. The book is easy to read and illustrated throughout, perfect for readers of the Treehouse series by Andy Griffiths. NOMINATED TO THE MIDDLE GRADE PRIZE (BOKSLUKERPRISEN) 24/25

Handbook for Young Antiracists

Tinashe Williamson

Handbook for young antiracists by Tinashe Willamson put the spotlight on the important topic of racism. Through ten chapters and ten fictional characters Williamson answers questions about what racism really is, why representation is important and what you can do if someone is discriminated against because of the colour of their skin. Racism is a complicated topic for grown-ups to navigate, and many find it hard to talk to their children about it. For what can you say? Where do you begin? This engaging, including and thorough book is written in the form of a diary, with tasks and conversations that the children can easily bring up at home or with their friends or classmates. The goal is to pass on the knowledge to the generation that is growing up now, to give them the feeling that they have the power to change the world. Together we are stronger, and by just acknowledging the problem we can do something about it. This is the perfect book on the topic for children 9 years and up, and it works just as well at home as in a teaching situation. Tinashe Williamson has written a book that is easy to understand and utterly engaging. The book obviously has great potential to start important conversations between people from different generations. DAGBLADET

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
