Sofia finds a song
Children's Books2023 · 40 pp · Age 3 - 6

Sofia finds a song

Marit Larsen

In the middle of the hubbub of the busy city she lives in, Sofia discovers a mysterious melody. It stands out from all the other noises, it shines, it lights up, it has its own colour, it sneaks up through the city like a magical wind with a melody in it. It creeps through the streets and up through the floor she stands on, inside the soles of her shoes, it tickles her toes, her feet must dance, they are not able to stop, it’s as if the song is dancing with her rather than the other way around. But where is the sound coming from? In Sofia Finds a Song we’re taken on an adventure to find a melody with magnetic powers. Because when you find your own song, it is yours forever.

Hilda Bumblevik and The People Who Disappeared is an impressive debut novel and coming-of-age-story, full of suspense, mystery, and humour.REVIEWS A smashing debutWhat a universe of delightful characters. What a universe of humour, horror, excitement and drama. What a debut. Prepare to bite your nails, grin and laugh. Hilda Bumblevik will have you hooked in no time.FIVE/SIX STARSFredriksstad blad Pageturner for young readers(…) a very entertaining debut, and a gift for any school librarian or bookseller looking for new fodder to hungry readers. Gustavsen keeps the excitement high, and keeps the reader in the dark just long enough so they’ll keep wanting more. There’s never a dull moment. FIVE/SIX STARSBOK365.NO Thrilling horrorIt's a joy to read this book. Also for a grown-up! Gustavsen has a way with words and a linguistic excess that you can just sit back and enjoy. While the complications and mysteries pile up, Hilda opens up little pockets of air and humour with her absent-minded digressions.Klassekampen Confident thrillerThe debut is characterised by warm humour, excitement and surprising horror.Periskop.no
