Ellinor Finds a Dragon Egg

Camilla Victoria Storm

Ellinor lives in the forest with mum, dad, and her triplet brothers. One day Ellinor finds an egg in the forest which turns out to have a small dragon inside. Ellinor is extremely excited about her discovery and brings the dragon home. Mum and dad are completely exhausted from several nights awake with the triplets and think they are imagining things—dragons don’t exist after all. The parents continue their day-to-day as usual, which gives Ellinor time to get to know her dragon better. She names it Eldar. Ellinor doesn’t know much about dragons, but she has heard they can fly. But how can she, a human child, teach a dragon to use its wings? What do dragons even eat? And where did Eldar come from? Are there more dragons in the forest?

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

A secret guarded by the Bernetsen duo, a dangerous dog and maybe worst of all: Timian’s aging mother. Hilda Bumblevik and the Mystery at Søder Manor is the second book in the series about Hilda.

How to Talk About Death

Anna Fiske

Death is next up in Anna Fiske’s How series. This is a topic that children are curious about, and which adults may find difficult to discuss. What actually happens with the body when you die? What’s a funeral? And why do we even have to die? Anna Fiske has an incredibly unique form of communicating, and in How to Talk About Death she speaks to the children at their level and takes them seriously, while also managing to write a heart-warming, inclusive and at times even funny book about death. A perfect conversation starter for anyone who has questions about death, or who knows someone who’s passed away. The How-series has been a phenomenal success both in Norway and abroad, and it has been translated into multiple languages. NOMINATED TO THE BRAGE PRIZE FOR BEST NON-FICTION BOOK FOR CHILDREN Useful and concrete about death "Children and adults grieve differently, and Fiske’s book is wide-open with tolerance and understanding. Fiske does what she does best: illustrates and explains in clear and thorough manner – and at the same time, simply and straightforwardly." VÅRT LAND
