Olav and the Letters

Erlend Loe / Tore Rem

Little Olav is not like most other kids. He's a prince, and one day he will be king! Olav is really great at doing ski jumps, but reading, not so much. Even though he practises and practises, the letters jumble together and become incomprehensible. Don't you need to be able to read to be an adult? How can he be king if he cannot read? Olav and the Letters is a wonderful story for kids and adults, and a great conversation starter for parents or teachers who need a tool to talk about dyslexia. «Nyhus’s intricate visual interpretations transform the book into a fascinating and engaging seek-and-find book, packed with surprises and discoveries that can make inexperienced readers feel smart (...) Here we are talking about the joy of reading regardless of skill level. The two-page spreads are a visual tour de force, featuring illustrations rich in contrasts and contradictions.»Klassekampen «A super-trio have put their heads together and created a delightful and wonderfully illustrated picture book about King Olav's dyslexia.»(...)«The theme appeals to young and old alike. The book shows that everyone struggles with something. No one is just what you see, as the saying goes. Even the privileged Prince Olav has trouble with those darn letters.»Dagbladet The book is a marvel«A superb example of litterature that can start conversations and offer reflections across generations.»NRK, five/six stars

Puck you!

Bjørn Tore Grøtte

It's finally Kim's time to play in the national A-series! He is so excited, but the road there isn't lacking in challenges. Their new Age 15 team is composed of players from three different hockey clubs in Trondheim. Every player is used to be the best on their own team, so it's difficult for everyone to get used to the new constellations of players. Puck you! is not just about winning matches. It is also about what happens when the pressure becomes too great, when the joy of hockey disappears - and how to find it again. The book is full of action, emotions and a real hockey environment. You get training, away games, pressure from parents, team building and excitement on the ice. And you get friendship, jealousy, love and everything else that happens when you're a teenager. Puck you! is the third book in the series by Bjørn Tore Grøtte, but it can also be read as a stand alone.
