As Long As Heaven Is Above Earth

Levi Henriksen

'My name is Ruben, I'm 16 years old, and I'm going to die soon.' Thus begins Levi Henriksen's new novel for young people, a bittersweet and moving picture of a young man who has only a short time left to live but who wants to live life to the full. Ruben wants to travel, make his mark on the world, experience a whole phase of youth in a few weeks. But most of all he wants to be with Alona, the finest girl in the class. 'Så lenge himmelen er over jorda might remind some people of John Green’s Paper Towns’ spice, with elements from The Fault in Our Stars. In spite of these at times strong similarities, Henriksen still delivers a compelling story. He manages to portray emotional life from a 16-year-old boy’s perspective in a credible way, and the reader can almost feel the fragile feelings about being terminally ill themselves. Henriksen has created main characters that elevate the story to another level, in which the reader must dig deeply to see the connection in the strong emotions that rule in this book.'VÅRT LAND 'The first, all-consuming crush is especially well-described. The novel is actually free of awkward descriptions, something that is not a given when you’re writing about hormonal 16-year-olds.'DAGBLADET '‘To pull a John Green’ is to write a worthwhile novel about young death. Film and literary history is full of young people who run away, object to things, and drive themselves to death. It’s been done so many times before, but never like this. ... 'Så lenge himmelen er over jorda is a well-written and philosophically grounded narrative. Adults should challenge themselves and their inner creatures of habit to read it. To live the spring. To live the love.'GLÅMDALEN'The plot in this story is so rock-solid that it could hardly fail. (…) This is good literature on several levels. Henriksen is able to hold the reader from start to finish. A painful solemnity stirs beneath the surface throughout the book, but it is more bittersweet than sad. This book is in a rare genre: a love-story about life and death. It is not only beautiful, but also humorous and perceptive, without any hint of banality.'BARNEBOKKRITIKK.NO

MONKEY FACE 3: FIRELIGHTER

Tor Erling Naas

Martin only has one thought in his mind. He has to find his mother. The police think that she is hiding from the authorities, but Martin knows better. Even though the wolf man has been neutralised, the scary Karkov is lurking in the shadows. Whitey saved Martin's life, and with help from Oda, they find the talking monkey. But nothing is as Martin believes it to be, and in the end he understands he has to go it alone. But there's something about Oda and her fiery eyes. And the two blue stones hiding a secret message. Apefjes is a hybrid comic book and novel. It is set in Oslo, almost as we know it. Lilleeng and Naas have established an exciting and action-driven universe which continues to attract more readers.

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

A second later I am filled with a tremendous sound that reverberates from my very core. Then I rise up. Not far, just a few centimetres above the stage, but enough to feel as if I am flying. It is a wonderful feeling. I close my eyes and just hang there. I know that as long as I hold this note, everything will be fine. And that as long as I hold this note, I will be happy. Nine authors who are also musicians, or nine musicians who also write. Nine short stories about how music can change a situation and a person. About how notes can make you soar, how the sound of a piano can make you do something new, about how difficult it is to find the right words. About all of the memories captured in music, about all the joy, heartaches and dreams. And about impossibilities that suddenly become reality, just because music exists. And people who love music. Meet Pedro Carmona Alvarez, Aslak Dørum, Lars Elling, Liv Eirill Evensen, Tania Kjeldset, Hans Petter Laberg, Stein Erik Lunde, Arne Svingen and Frida Ånnevik.
