The Dead Can See You

Alexander Løken

How is it to be young in a society where no secrets are safe and where everyone is monitoring everyone - even the dead? Sixteen year old Liv Wiik has a dark secret. She is a Necromancer, and can call out the dead. Everest Brox has made his fortune by stealing the secrets of others. The more he knows, the more powerful he becomes. Now he wants to use Livs abilities to reach new hights.But LIv is terminally ill. She only has six months left to live. And soon she will learn that there are things worse than dying..."I will tell you about my first life, as short and sad as it was", Onyro started to say without facing Liv. "And then I will tell you about how I died, and the new life that followed. That is a much more interesting story." Alexander Løken takes the reader on an intense and original journey a few years into the future, but in an entirely different reality. Where no one can sleep safely and where nothing can be kept secret any longer…Norwegian Fantasy hit! With a steady hand, Løken keeps the reader captivated, breathing life into almost lost motives within the fantasy genre. In addition, the writer has steered clear of the many times stereotype descriptions based on gender. Liv Wiik is strong, heroic, reflected and not least intelligent. In The Dead Can See You, the situations Liv finds herself in are complex and hard to find the way out of. That makes the story more unpredictable and sustains the nerve in the novel from start to end. The Dead Can See You hits the audience right on. Bravo! VÅRT LAND

The Day Mom left

Kaia Linnea Dahle Nyhus

The Day Mom Left is a picture book about losing someone and then losing your sense of reality. With the help of a good grasp of the visual and a poetic text, Kaia Dahle Nyhus captures the understanding of loss and want with warmth and humour. Chosen as a White Raven for 2017. The difficult conversationsThis beautiful story about how longing and sorrow can make a child loose foothold, is told in a simplistic text that is open for building it further. The conscious use of visual means like contoure, perspective, colour, frames and cut outs, fills out the verbal text even more. That makes this picture book admirable, and it strengthens Kaia Dahle Nyhus´position in the line of great Norwegian picture book authors. BARNEBOKKRITIKK.NO When Mother breaks awayThe abstract illustrations with colours and shapes that invite the reader to fictionalize even more, is the strength of the book art of Kaia Dahle Nyhus.

The Bird Party

Alice Bjerknes Lima de Faria

Flapps is a nocturnal animal who gets bored when there's no one to play with. Everyone else sleeps at night – just not Flapps! Sometimes Mark plays with her, but tonight Mark has to go to bed earlier than usual. Mark was invited to a birthday party at the birds' place. Flapps wasn't. So, she steals the invitation when Mark is sleeping and goes herself. But the birds aren't particularly interested in having a visit from Flapps. They want Mark, and there's a reason for that … Tender hearted and funny! The Bird Party has the empathic view, the playful illustrations and the quiet sense of humour. The topic is important. How far are we willing to go to fit in with a certain society?DAGBLADET The Bird Party is a lovely picture book in a big format. The spreads are full of details, and we find a wonderful and fantastic array of colourful birds. The moral is good and easy to relate to: Is a good friend worth more than a fun party?BARNEBOKKRITIKKIt is the illustrations that elevate the project, with energy and drama. Great fields of deep and dark night colours make a strong contrast to the clear pastels at dawn. Yellow, pink and turquoise bring cheer to the uniformed and somewhat slick flock of birds. They are also shown as black silhouettes, quite threatening. But also appear just as superficial and vane as the text suggests. Flapps stays a nocturnal animal, almost overly simple with his figure quickly sketched, white teeth and circled eyes.BOK365

Boy and Girl Play Pretend

Hilde Matre Larsen

With easily understandable sentences and identity as its theme, author Hilde Matre Larsen has an eye to non-fiction classics for children. Mari Kanstad Johnsen's tidy drawings offer the same associations. But Boy and Girl Play Pretend is quite different from educational picture books from the 1970s. The perspective is uncompromising, childlike and playful. And for Boy and Girl, everything is possible.
