Alone Through

Michael Stilson

An action-packed YA novel about soccer, performance anxiety, dreams, doubts and hopes. Fredrik from Just Play Ball is 17 and already a star player for Mjøndalen. Rumours are flying about bigger clubs and generous contracts, and one day his father turns up with an offer from top German club Hertha Berlin. Fredrik travels to Germany, but soon he discovers that something doesn’t add up. Why has he been picked to play at the Bundesliga series opener, against no less than Bayern München, just days after arriving in Berlin? What’s up with agent Marko? And why has Hertha spent so many millions on bringing over a player when nobody in the club knows who he is? Fears and dreams collide in front of 75,000 spectators at the Allianz Stadion, and there’s a fine line between success and disaster. Is the price Fredrik is paying for life as a professional footballer too high? And what happens if he lets down his team, his father, his manager and Line? Who really cares about Fredrik? Are millions in the bank really any help against loneliness and the fear that everyone will forget you when the storm is at its height?

The Billy Goats Gruff Go to the Mediterranean

Bjørn F. Rørvik

Once upon a time there were three billy goats called the Billy Goats Gruff. All winter long, they’d scraped and saved because this year they were going to the Mediterranean. The biggest Billy Goat Gruff found a place that was cheap and cheerful. So they packed their bathing trunks and sunglasses – and their water pistol, in case there were any trolls in the Mediterranean. But of course there weren’t. Because trolls are allergic to sunlight, aren’t they…? The latest reunion with the Billy Goats Gruff is great fun and just the right amount of scary. «Rørvik and Moursund have found the recipe for success. They take the familiar and create laugh-out-loud surprises when they mix old and new. (...) Gry Moursund exhibits a wonderful combination of cute and scary in her colourful drawings. (...) Rørvik also likes details. He plays with language and clearly takes into account that this text should be read aloud. It should come to life when performed by an adult.»NRK

The Game of Death

Anne Elvedal

The Game of Death is the first book in a paranormal horror trilogy on par with the best we've seen within YA. Sixteen-year-old Rebekka is looking forward to the annual motorcycle summer vacation with her father. But plans change abruptly when her father dies in an accident, just after a big quarrel between them. Filled with guilt and despair, Rebekka visits the Barn, her father’s car repair shop where he helped troubled kids put their lives back together. Among old vintage cars and tools, she finds a spirit board. Hoping that this may bring her in contact with her father, Rebekka uses the spirit board, which opens up a number of strange and frightening events. In addition, Rebekka receives a surprising message: Her father’s death was not an accident, he was killed. Suddenly Rebekka faces a mystery that is far greater and more complicated than she could have imagined. The Game of Death explores existential issues around death and love, loneliness and grief, faith and belonging. Belonging to oneself, to other people, and to something greater outside oneself. Is it possible that our lives are woven together with past lives, allowing old curses to haunt us and giving love left unspoken another chance?

Tarn of Death

Sigbjørn Mostue

Mathias and his sister Malin are taken on an overnight trip to a nature reserve by their eager, nature-loving father. But their father’s new girlfriend Ella Loudmouth and her daughter Birgitte are also coming along on the trip. The atmosphere is already grim from the time they’re in the car and Mathias foresees forced jollity with the bonus family out in the wilderness where there’s nothing to do. But it’s not long before mysterious things start to happen and Mathias receives a message saying that Malin is in danger. There turn out to be creatures living in the forest that are invisible to humans, unless they do what Mathias does: go through an uprooted tree and come out on the other side into a place where there are pixies and elves and a river sprite on the lookout for human food. Mathias faces enormous trials and the trip proves to be anything but boring. Sigbjørn Mostue has written a super intense novel for 9–12-year-olds that combines mythical creatures from Norwegian folklore with modern-day problems of conservation and climate issues. The book is illustrated by Ketil Bleidin.
