However, even before they get to the farm their car is almost pushed off the road by a truck. Then a storm arrives, and a small plane crash lands next to the cabin. It soon becomes obvious that several myserious and suspicious episodes are connected, and as Pelle goes for help he runs into a thinly clothed girl from Sri Lanka all by herself out in the storm.

Soccer without Borders

Peder Inge Knutsen Samdal

In Football Without Borders, the author expands geographically to cover the entire world of football, but he also dives into history, culture and religion. Why was it so important for South Korean Heung-min Son to score the penalty at the 2016 Olympics? Why did Cristiano Ronaldo get involved in the refugee crisis? What makes a Norwegian football coach want to undertake the job as the national team coach for the world's most closed-off country? What happens when US national team player Megan Rapinoe refuses to stand up during the performance of the American national anthem? And how big of a religion is soccer really? Samdal's curiosity about understanding the world through football truly rubs off on the reader. Informative and interesting, Samdal manages to touch on several major issues such as war, refugees, politics and love – using on the basis of his love for football. Peder Samdal has previously written the book Mario Balotelli Explains Europe.

A Jewish-Norwegian girl, Betzy Rosenberg, managed to hide from the German and Norwegian Nazis in Trondheim from the fall of 1942, when the deportations began, all the way until the war ended in May of 1945.

In the cabin next door, the Nazis were having parties, and Henry Rinnan himself – the leader of the infamous Rinnan Gang – could show up unannounced. Adolescence lost and the rest of her family deported to the concentration camp Auschwitz, this is Betzy's story. Impressive about "the Norwegian Anne Frank"‘The Girl in the Wall is grim reading.

Karsten and Petra’s Summer Book

Tor Åge Bringsværd

In Karsten and Petra's Summer Book, we have combined two stories about Karsten and Petra. In Karsten and Petra Want to Learn How to Swim, Karsten and Petra are on a boat trip with Grandpa and his girlfriend, Esther, and they stop on an island. Neither Karsten nor Petra can swim, but they still have fun in the water, and after a while they even dare to dive down and put their heads completely underwater! So it seems that Karsten and Petra will most certainly learn how to swim soon. In Karsten and Petra Goes On A Trip, the two go on a family camping trip.
