The Gingerbread House

Gaute Brochmann

Don’t tell anyone but children get eaten in this book! What are you supposed to do when the health clinic where you’re due to spend Christmas turns out to be very different from what you expected?

The Gingerbread House is about a 13-year-old outsider, Jonas Rusten, who is struggling with his weight. One day, he’s offered a stay at Dr. Dirk’s Health Clinic, which he thinks will solve all his problems. It starts off fine: the people are great and the food is good. Surprisingly good, in fact. But bit by bit, he starts to feel a creeping suspicion. Shouldn’t they be exercising a bit more? Eating a bit less? Why do the others call him Balder? And what is that weird girl actually trying to tell him?

Odd and Even Odder Jobs

Bjørn F. Rørvik

A book of fun facts about really odd jobs that you’ll never believe exist. Most children wonder what they’ll be when they grow up. Who doesn’t dream of being a footballer or a popstar? Or maybe a firefighter, a doctor, a hairdresser or a lawyer? But why do the same thing as everyone else? Why not do something completely different? How about being a dinosaur-duster, a snake-milker or an armpit-sniffer? In Odd and Even Odder Jobs, Bjørn F. Rørvik has come up with more than 50 professions that you probably never knew existed. There’s plenty of fun and peculiar stuff, and some of the jobs sound really unlikely. But all of them are absolutely real – and all of them need to be done!

The Knights and the Great Bonfire

Bjørn F. Rørvik

It’s Midsummer’s Eve, and Sir Bang has been given the important task of lighting the great Midsummer bonfire. It’s a huge honour, but he’s dreading it! What if he can’t get the fire lit? Maybe he’d better practise a bit beforehand. Turns out that it's not hard at all to get the fire started, but it's definitely impossible to to stop it again... Sir Bang and his fellow knight Sir Rosebush head into the forest, but before they know it, they’ve been sent to Klampenburg Castle to look for Zippo, the Dragon’s little nephew. Zippo has been kidnapped by none other than Blackbeard, the wickedest robber in the country! It turns into quite the trek. The horses are on strike, so the knights have to use the horse-replacement service –cows! When they finally arrive, they’re keener on spending time at the robbers’ market, with its almost-authentic rubies and rabbit’s feet, than on infiltrating the band of robbers and saving Zippo. But fortunately, help arrives from an unexpected quarter…
