Block to block

Jonathan Castro / Don Martin / Felipe Orellana Castro

Block to Block is about ending up where you are, not because of, but despite of. Don Martin, Castro, and Fela are famous Norwegian rap artists, who are now sharing their stories and taking the readers into their block of flats, behind their music and lyrics. This is a vivid and tough depiction of growing up from East Oslo. It’s original and quick-mouthed, uncompromising, and important. These are vital voices that deserve to be heard. The book is a cool, commercial, and original book about a rough life on the Eastside of Oslo. At the same time, it’s a vulnerable family story about suicide, and not least the story of when hip hop came to Norway. This graphic novel is based on the hip hop show Block to Block with Don Martin, Fela and Castro, which was a breakout success at Det Norske Teatret. Reviews for the show"Block to Block is about keeping your pride when others try to bring you down. About finding your own rhythm when life doesn’t have any. (…) An experience that’s bigger than a concert and richer than a normal show."Aftenposten "Block to Block is a personal and important show, told by those who could have fallen outside of society."Morgenbladet

Blücher’s Secret

Alexander Løken

Avid Reader Award winner Alexander Løken takes us to the summer idyll of Drøbak. But all is not as it seems in the early summer sun. When crabs attack in droves and the sea radiates a dark force that threatens to pull her into its depths, it’s no wonder that Kit (14) would rather go home. When Blücher sank in Drøbak Sound on 9 April 1940, it had a mysterious passenger on board. Gottfried, a young boy with unique and terrifying powers, sat in a bulletproof iron tank. The tank—and the boy—went down with the ship, but now, after 70 years, things have started to emerge … When a neighbour asks whether Kit has experienced anything she can’t explain, she gets really scared. What does he know? What is happening in Drøbak Sound, and why now? YA horror with links back to 9 April 1940.

The Golden Star

Lena Lindahl

The Golden Star is set in Narvik and details the situation of the Russian prisoners in the labour camps. A little-known part of our war history imparted with knowledge and intensity. 15-year-old Harald is sneered at and shunned because his parents are members of Nasjonal Samling. He becomes fascinated by NS ideology after attending meetings and is soon offered the opportunity to accompany NS higher-up Pedersen to the quarry where the Russian prisoners work so that he can learn how to treat so-called sub-humans. In the labour camp, Harald encounters a boy his own age, Viktor, who he soon realises is in mortal danger. Viktor has no one to help him, no one apart from Harald. But what can Harald do when he realises that Viktor needs to be smuggled out of the camp and over the border into Sweden? For a few fraught months towards the end of the war, Harald is put to the test as a friend, as a son and as an NS youth. An action-packed story about escape, double agents, ideology and making the right choices.

Stories

Kim Fupz Aakeson

Stories is the third picture book that Dane Kim Fupz Aakeson and Norwegian Stian Hole have created together. Three masterpieces, three beautiful and moving books to touch the hearts of children and adults alike. I open the door, and there stands Grandma. ‘Grandma?’ I ask. ‘Did you run away from the nursing home?’ ‘I’m thirsty,’ Grandma says, so I pour some ice water, and we sit out in the sun. Then I say, ‘Once upon a time’. She smiles. She nods. She says, ‘Yes, once upon a time’. But that’s all she says, a smile on her lips. I say, ‘A palace?’ Grandma is getting old. She can’t drive a car anymore, or even ride a bike. In the end, she’s not very good at remembering, either—or living in her big house all alone. But she’s still good at telling stories. A beautiful picture book about how stories and memories bring grandchildren and grandparents together.

Extraordinary Animals

Hanna Nyborg Støstad

A beautiful, colourful and knowledgeable children’s book about evolution. Extraordinary Animals is a fascinating non-fiction book for children aged 6–12. A picture book that takes you out into nature, a read-aloud book for the whole family, and a great supplement to books used at school. It is quite simply a beautiful and educational book that arouses both curiosity and an enthusiasm for nature. Animals might sometimes seem to behave strangely and illogically, but they have good reasons for doing what they do. Animals that find smart solutions to problems live for a long time and have lots of babies. The best solutions beat the solutions that aren’t as good. This is called evolution, and evolution means that the animal world has a lot of clever tricks! Hanna Nyborg Strøstad shows young readers how evolution works in a strikingly simple, pedagogical and engaging way.
