My Life As A Cat

Elin Hansson

Freaky Friday with cats On her 11th birthday, Katja gets more than she bargained for when she wishes she were a cat. The next morning, she wakes up with four paws, whiskers, and a tail – she has switched bodies with her beloved cat, Kitty! But life as a cat in Lion Hill is far more dangerous than Katja imagined. All summer, cats have been disappearing from the neighbourhood. Is there a cat-catcher on the loose? Or something even worse – a cat killer? Together with her best friend Carl-Otto and Kitty (now stuck in Katja’s body), Katja must solve the mystery before she becomes the next victim. But how do you investigate a feline crime spree when your mum is a busy mayor, your dad a distracted brain surgeon, and your older sister only cares about social media? My Life as a Cat is a magical yet down-to-earth story, filled with humour, heart and suspense. With striking illustrations by Oda Valle, the book takes readers on an adventure that combines the warmth of Astrid Lindgren with the whimsical imagination of Roald Dahl. A funny and gripping tale about identity, family, and friendship for everyone who loves cats and great stories!

Super-Frank and the Time Machine

Mats Eldøen

Meet Super-Frank! The coolest superhero in the entire world! Or, perhaps not so cool. And maybe not such a great hero either. Actually, things never seem to work out for Super-Frank, who tends to solve small problems with big solutions. In Super-Frank and the Time Machine, Frank and his family are about to go on holiday to Gran Canaria. But crisis hits when they see the bus that’s supposed to take them to the airport drive off without them – and now they risk having to cancel the whole trip. It’s a case for Super Frank! He quickly invents a machine called Timehopper 9000 – because if he can turn back time, surely the family will make it to Gran Canaria? Super-Frank at the Time Machine is the fifth book in a new, easy-to-read humour series, full of illustrations and lots of action. The books have short chapters, and are perfect for readers of Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

101 Things to do Before You Grow Up

101 Things to do Before You Grow Up

Nils Petter Mørland / Mikkel Niva

You have to learn lots of weird things before you become a grown-up: reading, writing, putting your hand up in class, brushing your teeth, saying “Yes, please” and “No, thank you” and “How are you doing?”. But you’ll learn absolutely NONE of that in 101 things to do Before You Grow up. This book is about all the funny, crazy, exciting, wonderful and magical things you can do in childhood that grownups don’t often get to do. Suggested activities include: Talking in rhyme! Living backwards for a day! Going on holiday at home! Swapping families! Readers are guided through an inventive universe of short texts and colourful illustrations that are bursting with energy, humour and playfulness. The book aims to encourage children to hold onto the unique aspects of childhood that also, oddly enough, help make us better, cooler and more creative grownups later in life.
