The Turbo Twins and the Mayor’s Evil Plan

Harald Maxmillian Stoltenberg / Robert Stoltenberg

Harald and Robert have settled down pretty well in the countryside. They’ve made some friends at school and spend lots of time with Sigrid, Rudolf and the animals on the next-door farm. But when the twins return to rural life after an unsuccessful autumn break in Oslo, they find that everything is topsy-turvy. The local council has decided to build an enormous motorway in the village and it’s going to pass RIGHT THROUGH Sigrid and Rudolf’s farmyard. Sigrid and Rudolf aren’t convinced by the council’s promise of a new flat above the supermarket with a massage shower and underfloor heating: they don’t want to move and the Turbo Twins have to help them! Harald and Robert decide to stop the council’s plans, but little do they know what the evil village mayor is capable of. How do you even stop a motorway? Can children stand up to adults who are being unfair? And what on earth will happen to the animals if the farm is demolished? The Turbo Twins and the Mayor’s Evil Plan is a hilarious, heart-warming story about being creative, standing up to the powers-that-be and sticking up for other people.

But if they write their wish list and send it to Santa, THEN maybe he will come! As soon as they think it, they do it. What they want most of all is a sled with a steering wheel. On Christmas Eve they eat dinner, they do the dishes – and they wait. And wait. Finally, the largest goat goes outside to get some firewood. Then FINALLY someone knocks on their door… «The illustrations are lively and full of action. A lot happens on the pages, and the colors splash and will light up every child's room. It's hard not to laugh along, and with the right narrator, the book will be a clear Christmas favourite.»KRISTELIGT DAGBLAD (Denmark), five/five stars
