More than a club

Peder Inge Knutsen Samdal

More Than a Club is a book for anyone who loves football and wants to understand how important football is in societies all over the world. It introduces 11 clubs that are larger than life: Al-Ahly, Barcelona, Boca Juniors, Borussia Dortmund, Celtic, Liverpool, Odd, Olympique Lyonnaise Féminin, Paris Saint-Germain, Red Bull Salzburg and Vålerenga. Clubs that are, to use Barcelona's motto, ‘more than a club’. Football is more than what happens on the pitch, and the players play for more than themselves. Lyon plays for equality, the Norwegian club Odd plays for the environment, and the Argentinian club Boca Juniors also plays a little for the mafia. More Than a Club dives into what’s behind the football, and invites the readers to think critically about football, politics and society, and on the supporters's key role in the greater picture of football. Football is the most powerful sport in the world, with millions of suppoerts, and in this book the author urges the supporters to take a step back from the pitch and start the discussions about the ethical and social-critical questions tied to the sport.

Spellbound

Aleksander Kirkwood Brown

What do you do when you find out that Huldra, The Nix and goblins are not urban legends invented to scare children, but actual creatures who live in the shadows of Oslo’s streets? Peter and his mum have just moved into grandpa’s apartment in Oslo after he’s sent to a care home. Peter is unhappy because he knows they will be moving again soon. Then he meets an unusual girl. She’s invisible to everyone else, but Peter can see her. And she’s not the only underground creature that walks around underground in Oslo… When a little girl next door is kidnapped – by the Draugr – Peter is pulled into a reality and a part of Oslo he didn’t know existed. But why can Peter see the underground creatures? And what does his grandpa know, but isn’t able to tell him? Spellbound is an action-packed and original urban fantasy-graphic novel for young adults. It’s the first title in a trilogy.REVIEWS«Aleksander Kirkwood Brown and Luis Guaragna have created an enchanting new series based on Norwegian folklore.»Bok365, six/six starsOslo’s shady sides«Aleksander Kirkwood Brown has established himself as one of fantasy literature’s foremost frontrunners in Norway, with particular consideration for children and teens. (…) At least I want to keep on reading the next book.»D2«That Kirkwood Brown with his background in fairy tales and Guaranga with his background in metal-like aesthetic meets in an Oslo-based emo-elf-like universe seems both brilliant and right.»EMPIRIX.COM «And it’s… really solid? Structure wise, it does all the things that a story like this is supposed to: It’s very professional. But there’s plenty of originality in the elements the book uses (instead of just copying monsters from Tolkien and Sandman, it uses Norwegian supernatural beings), and it’s surprisingly moving. Well done.»LARS.INGEBRIGTSEN.NO «… it [feels] as if I have opened the door and is standing on the threshold of a new and exciting world when I read this story. I cannot wait to see where they will go on from here, and to be better acquainted with Oslo’s ‘underground’.»SERIENETT.NO

Benny and the Mystery of Camp Milky Way

Tom Erik Fure

Benny and the Mystery of Camp Milky Way is the third book in the Benny Bark series. It’s the perfect book for fans of David Walliams and Tom Fletcher. For his birthday Benny receives the most incredible birthday gift: a weekend getaway at the luxurious Milky Way Hotel & Resort, situated in Tjess Valley, world-renowned for its UFO phenomena. Of course, in true Benny fashion, nothing goes according to plan when it turns out he is not, in fact, staying at a luxury hotel, but at the extremely dilapidated Camp Milky Way, where he must contend with roommates who can’t stand each other, outdoor toilets, and the resident loonies. Other things not on his birthday wish list: an unhinged horse, Evan the Ice Prince, communal showers, and mysterious fires of possible alien origin! The question is no longer: Is there alien life in Tjess Valley? The question is: Will Benny even survive his twelfth birthday?

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
