Leona in Prize Trouble

Anneli Klepp

Leona comes up with the weirdest ideas and always ends up in trouble. She’s a mixture of Pippi Longstocking and Roald Dahl’s Matilda, with an oomph that would make her the envy of any child. In Book 2, her class takes a trip to the forest. Their teacher is in a really bad, mood but Leona has an idea about how to cheer him up. Everybody likes prizes – especially teachers! What luck that Leona has brought along plenty of things in her school bag that she can now put to good use. But will burnt sausages, muddy water, a jar of hare poo and pupils falling from the trees make the teacher any happier? It’s a nice thought, but Leona ends up in prize trouble. The experienced easy-reading author Anneli Klepp is the writer behind this fun series. She and illustrator Cathrine Sandmæl have managed to create a whole new universe that children will love getting to know.

Joke Lion 5 – Dad Jokes

Lise Dragland

Most fathers have their own peculiar form of quirky humour, often involving special puns or comical catchphrases that are repeated year after year. As well as being fun reading for children, this book may also get a few fathers giggling. Perfect for beginning readers who need a bit of humour in their reading exercises. Dad Jokes may perhaps be children’s first encounter with written humour and this book will give you plenty of authentic dad humour for your money. Maybe you can teach Dad some new jokes too? Clever puns and bone-dry humour make the jokes easy for kids to tell, too. Lise Dragland, who works as a creator at the Something Good communications agency, has been mulling dad jokes for a long time. Illustrator Cathrine Sandmæl has breathed life and movement into the dry jokes with her colourful and howlingly funny illustrations.

Now or Never, Rikka
Children's Books2020 · 144 pp · Age 9 - 12

Now or Never, Rikka

Maiken Nylund

About being ten, with a mum in one town and a dad in another – and a very sweet boy living next door. Just as Rikka walks out of the door, Jimmy comes cycling up the hill. Rikka bounds down the steps in two leaps and sits on the fence that separates their yards. She’s freezing, but that doesn’t matter. She hopes he’ll never leave. That he’ll stay here with her for the rest of the day. Maiken Nylund made her debut last year with Rikke for Real and Forever and this is the sequel. This time, there’s a bit more about being in love, but also about having divorced parents, about younger siblings and cousins, and about nasty classmates who’ll do pretty much anything to make sure that Jimmy won’t discover Rikka. Maiken Nylund has an incredible talent for dealing with the topics that concern her target group – and does it with a voice and intimacy that really hit home.

Ollianna

Gro Dahle

Olli has always been Olli. Mum’s boy and Dad’s boy. Dad wants to hike across marshes and wade across rivers, run and fish and climb up to mountain tops – and he wants Olli to come along with him and grow strong. But Olli is strong already: he has strong eyes and is good at seeing. He sees everything that glitters and shines, and everything that is too small and too narrow. His name is like a sweater that’s way too tight because Olli isn’t Olli; Olli senses that something is wrong. What will happen if he becomes Ollianna? Will Dad recognise his boy then? Olliana is yet another important and wise picture book from Gro Dahle, asking whether you’re a boy or a girl – and what happens if you dare to be yourself. The book is beautifully and originally illustrated by Kaia Dahle Nyhus.Topic: gender confusion in children; adults’ expectations of boys and girls.

One day Steven starts to behave in an uncontrollably silly way, writing obscene words on the blackboard, dancing bare-bottomed at the youth club and going into the teachers’ changing room. What’s happening to him? Against his will, Steven is moved into the famous Special Class – a small class for pupils who are different from all the others in some way or another. Steven – and all his friends – look down on the Special Class. How will he survive this? It turns out that the supernerds in the Special Class can help Steven with his mysterious and inexplicable problem. Computer specialist Ella finds out that somebody has hacked into iBrain, infected it with a virus and taken control of Steven’s brain. Who is the baddie and what is their motive? And how can the supernerds get into Steven’s brain to unmask the hacker?
