The Skier

Eldrid Johansen

Jens doesn't like skiing, at any rate not when it is dark and cold. Even though the lighted ski trail is right outside the house, he is not tempted. But his parents keep on at him, and eventually Jens puts on his skis. It's eerie in the woods, his ski technique is poor and he is entirely alone. He loses control on a steep slope, runs straight into a tree and loses consciousness. Fortunately, somebody comes by who rouses him and helps him home, somebody who makes skiing much more fun! But who really is this person he has met in the woods? Eldrid Johansen has a good grasp of eerie shivers suitable for the youngest readers. Skiløperen is creepily and darkly illustrated by Marie Lyshol.

Dag O. Hessen

A unique and different book of facts that looks at what it means to live, from A to Z! Biologist and author Dag O. Hessen accompanies young readers through the big and small problems that everyone encounters sooner or later. With sharp powers of observation, humor and wit, the author lets loose on topics such as ethics, sex, hate, love, death and dreams.Livet fra A til Å is food for thought and helps give direction to the complexity of living, and illustrator Eivind Gulliksen was given free rein to explore the same topics, and the result is a thought-provoking commentary on the text. Livet fra A til Å is the perfect First Holy Communian gift, but also an ideal textbook, a book to flick through and a book with which to grow up.

The Man who Broke the Sound Barrier

Arne Svingen

Birger Brunkeberg has an easy-going life. He has an enormous collection of CD's and a good friend in prison. But one day the doorbell rings and reality hits his life with a hard fist. Mannen som gikk gjennom lydmuren is the story of this happy music-lover and the life he didn't know he was missing. A feel-good rock-and-roll novel! '(…) a novel whose style and tempo resemble a rock tune, and which in its own terminology could have been written by Dr. Feelgood.'STAVANGER AFTENBLAD 'Arne Svingen’s latest book could be described as a real feel-good novel. If you mix Nick Hornby and Fredrik Backmann you will get a good idea of how it sounds.'DEMOKRATEN 'Svingen has repeatedly shown that he is an ingenious storyteller, and when he tosses in a suitable dose of feel-good factor as here, it becomes quite entertaining.'MOSS AVIS 'The novel therefore has something in common with Nick Hornby’s writings, not least ’High Fidelity’ and ’About a Boy.’ Birger is a charming nerd'ADRESSEAVISEN 'Readers of Arne Svingen’s books for children and young people will recognise the playful language and the irrepressible gallows humour.'AFTENPOSTEN

Maradona’s Moral

Arild Stavrum

It is the Norway Cup and football tournament. Ekebergsletta is full to bursting with hopeful football players. Mikke is taking part wearing Maradona's magic football boots. The ones that once made Maradona the best football player ever. With them Mikke is a superstar on the pitch, but still, all is not as it should be. Will success cost Mikke his friends and girlfriend? And will we finally find out who is the better player out of Mikke and his rival Sondre Goma from Clausenengen and Nordlandet? Maradonas moral is the third book in the trilogy about Mikke Milnbergan and his friends. ‘This is a book about passion and dreams, about wanting to be the best. And the latter is something that Stavrum does very well indeed. The games are described well, the nerve of the players clearly depicted. Maradonas moral will make old football legends dream of the old days, and young hopefuls have another go with the ball in the garden. Young football players will love this book, and little is better than that.’DEMOKRATEN

Monster Waves

Ingvild Bjerkeland

It is late in the evening, way past bedtime. But Janna wants to go fishing with the grown-ups. The sea is teeming with mackerel, and that means a lot of fish on the hook. But when they start heading home, the weather has turned, and the waves are huge, grey and dangerous. Then Janna hears someone shouting. “Help!” she hears. Then she sees something yellow in the water. A flash of yellow, and then it's gone. Someone is in the water – and someone needs help! Monsterbølger is an exciting picture book about being at sea – and about being grown up even when you're little. The idyllic fishing trip becomes a perilous rescue mission, and the author and illustrator use both words and pictures to show that the sea is unpredictable. This picture book is a successful collaboration between Ingvild Bjerkeland and illustrator Åshild Irgens. Bjerkeland's text is intimate and powerful, and Irgens' illustrations are beautiful, aquamarine and vivid.
