Mulanosaurus Rex
Children's Books2021 · 104 pp · Age 9+

Mulanosaurus Rex

Øyvind Torseter

In Mulanosaurus Rex, Mule Boy has landed a job at the Natural History museum but he has one major problem: he needs a truly sensational dinosaur for the exhibition. Afraid of ending up unemployed, he joins forces with the President, who is on a quest to find the last ever dinosaur in order to produce more oil and petrol. Together this odd couple set out on a crazy quest to capture a dinosaur that is threatened with extinction. Things don’t go quite according to plan. Mulanosaurus Rex is the fourth book about Mule Boy, a quartet of graphic novels that blend myth, adventure and social commentary, in text and images. Mule Boy’s skewed and somewhat alienated universe enables us to see ourselves and our society with fresh eyes.

Along with two new friends, Anna gets to explore a mysterious, magical world and learns to use abilities that can help the secret society – although for Anna, these abilities may also be dangerous. The Mindspinner is a thrilling fantasy story that draws readers into a magical world packed with Norse mythology, ancient superstitions and scary baddies.This book is suitable for readers between 9 and 12 and is especially suited to anybody out there who likes the Harry Potter books. The Mindspinner is the first book in a trilogy. ‘Everything is at stake, the tapestry of life is falling apart. Vibeke Koehler establishes her fantasy universe with a close connection to the environmental challenges we are facing. … her children’s book debut builds on a simple, but genius idea.’ BERGENS TIDENE ‘Vibeke Koehler has created a complex world where myths and magic are intertwined with our reality. … The textile subject’s toolbox and vocabulary often appear in this magic world full of self-knitting knitting needles, “wool-ology”, talking dolls, ninja-socks and “spools of thread- spiders”. … Craft-inspired expressions and formulas are laid out as tiny Easter egg-surprises throughout the whole book.’ PERISKOP.no

The result is a fun, literary love song to what makes us all unique. But at the same time, resting on the insight that we are very much the same, after all.»Dagens Nyheter (SE)
