Coco-Banana and the Christmas Thief

Rolf Magne G. Andersen

Coco-Banana is looking forward to Christmas. He’s planning to bake gingerbread snaps, decorate his house, watch Christmas movies and have fun with his family. But on the very first day of December, he notices that something weird is going on. Something is moving stuff around in his inventor’s shed! And why are there tracks in the snow outside the house? Coco-Banana has the distinct feeling that he is being followed – so he decides to set a trap! But what happens when the person he traps turns out to be none other than Santa? And what does Santa want with a young inventor from Nutvik anyway? Coco-Banana and the Christmas Thief is a warm, funny, charming Christmas book that is absolutely perfect for reading aloud. A Christmas gift that is tailor-made for all the Coco-Banana fans out there as well as families who are keen to find a cosy read for the kids in the run-up to Christmas.

Locotopia in the Renaissance

Simon Stranger

Welcome to the Renaissance. Simon and Helena have to go down into the depths of the ocean, hunting for hidden treasures. Simon doesn’t think he can hold his breath for that long, but thankfully they meet Leonardo da Vinci. He’s just invented a submarine! And it’s totally safe – at least there’s a 50% chance it’s totally safe. In this book there are mysteries, magic lamps and helicopters that ALMOST can fly… Inventors, painters and explorers have never been more fun. Mona Lisa’s smile has never been more alluring. Locotopia in the Renaissance is the fifth book in Simon Stranger’s critically acclaimed series about the world history – a series that’s as hilarious as it’s educational. Every page has illustrations by Helena Lindholm.

Buddy

Fabian Christensen

If it wasn’t for his best buddy Mikkel, Jørgen would probably have died of a stomach ulcer. Or loneliness. Or making an absolute fool of himself in front of the prettiest girl at school. But as long as Mikkel has his back, things are mostly fine, according to Jørgen. Still - it's not easy to be fourteen and living in the shadow of your picture-perfect best friend. During their last days of 9th grade, Jørgen and Mikkel's friendship will be put to the test in more ways than one. At the same time, Jørgen must navigate his crush on Mikkel's cousin, becoming the joke of a TikTok meme, and some deadly serious family matters. And in the end, maybe the time has finally come for Jørgen to be Mikkel's lifesaver. Buddy is an impressive debut by Fabian Christensen, the winner of Cappelen Damm’s New Voices Manuscript competition 2023. It's a novel full of heart, dramatic twists and turns - and plenty of awkward, situational comedy that will have you both cringing and howling with laughter. All the while underscoring the importance of honest conversations.
