NO-ONE GETS AWAY

Mari Moen Holsve

Do you dare return to Norway's most notorious town of horror? It's a year since crazy Beate Skym went round ripping out the hearts of 13-year-olds in Skymdal to bring her dead son back to life. You may have thought that life – the regular dreary Skymdal life which Thale wants to escape from as soon as possible – had returned to the town, and perhaps it has. But then things start to happen again. Something terrible that strikes the town's youngsters. Something scares them out of their wits, but no-one knows what it is. Why is everyone so afraid to talk? Does it have anything to do with the threats made to the girls in the handball team which Thale's big sister plays for? Or could Irja, the chief bully herself, be behind it? Or the new people from Oslo, who opened a café and want to make money from Skymdal's dubious reputation? Life in Skymdal won't be any better for Thale after this. No-One Gets Away is a loose follow-up to the horror novel Nobody Sleeps Safe At Night, which won the Boksluker award in 2019.

Like me

Anne Wisløff

What exactly is exclusion? A look, a comment, a lack of "likes," a snapchat group or a birthday party you weren't invited to? On NRK Super's popular drama Like Me, a broad target audience saw how new forms of bullying – which too many children and teenagers experience on a daily basis – can happen. Like Me – Oda and Arin's Diary is written from two perspectives, in diary-form. By reading about the two girls' dilemmas, their inner struggles and pain, the reader can get a greater insight on the invisible bullying depicted in the TV series. No-one is responsible, but everyone is complicit in the exclusion now occurring in the social arenas today's children and teenagers frequent. It is tough reading for both children and parents, but – just as it was with the TV series – it is here the book's strength lies, in its authenticity. Guaranteed to give you a knot in the stomach.
