Rocky Bom

Anna Fiske

New picture book from critically acclaimed author and illustrator Anna Fiske! Rocky Bom is a hairy monster who lives in the bathroom drain. He has long teeth, sharp nails and other pointy things that he pokes out of the drain. No one else knows about Rocky Bom, and probably no one but you will ever believe that he exists. So then what, when he makes you frightened that you're too scared to go to the bathroom? Rocky Bom is a fun picture book by one of Norway's most renowned children's author-illustrators. The book is a little scary and just the right amount of thrilling. It's a story about being afraid of something, believing no one else in the world shares your fear, and about the courage you can find when you decide to take matters into your own hands. "In Anna Fiske’s work, imagination can offer a path thorugh fear:Rocky Bom is a conversation starter about irrational fear – and a guide to overcoming it. Text and illustrations complement each other, right down to the blurb on the back of the book, which offers an additional entry point into the story [...] Overall, the author understands their target audience exceptionally well […] The sum of it all is visually rich and thoroughly crafted."MORGENBLADET

On his journey to help an injured finch reach her winter home, Ruffen discovers an island in turmoil. Three enormous brothers are frightening the birds and animals, leaving no safe place to live. While others want to hide or fight, Ruffen chooses another way. He listens. He learns what the brothers are really afraid of and helps them find peace. By the end, harmony is restored, the brothers become protectors of the island, and even they learn to whistle. A tender and timeless story about courage, empathy and the power of understanding, brought to life with Thore Hansen’s enchanting illustrations.

Two Little Knights and a Princess in Love

Bjørn F. Rørvik

Two little knights are in England to celebrate the Queen's centenary. Not because any of them want to, but because Rosebush and Bang are going on their annual trip, and the King has asked (more like ordered) them to bring Princess Begonia with them. Begonia really doesn't want to go to the centenary, but the King is desperate to keep her away from the crooner Snubbe Karlsson. Begonia is head over heels for him, and the King is not happy about it. How that became Rosebush and Bang's problem is a question neither of them can answer, but the mission is unchanged: They must bring Begonia on their annual trip, keep her happy and avoid any embarrassing scenes. It's a mission that's doomed to fail.

Weeds and Asphalt

Aon Raza Naqvi

A young rapper is going to get his own studio, and the way to get there goes through Larvik's underground environment. Weeds and Asphalt is the sequel to the critically acclaimed and award-nominated novel Angry Youth. Noh has found his crew: David on the DJ desk, Adam on vocals, Jonas as manager. Together they will conquer hip-hop Norway from Kongegata 1, Larvik's newly opened cultural center with a free studio. But when marijuana is discovered, the access to the studio is restricted and Noh's dream is in danger. The solution? Noh needs to raise 10,000 kroner – quickly. The plan is simple: sell marijuana, earn money, buy equipment, build a studio. But nothing in Larvik is easy when you're fifteen years old, live at home, have strict parents and a secret life that grows bigger every day. From the attic of Børre, the city's safe haven for beanies, to meetings with dealers, from desperate customers to dangerous credit purchases, Noh navigates life between school, sales and musician ambitions. While the rappers who inspire him live thug lives in American ghettos, Noh must find his own language in a Norwegian reality. What do you rap about when you grow up in the small city of Larvik? How do you stay true to art when your family argues about money, your father has three jobs, and morality becomes increasingly unclear? Weeds and Asphalt is a raw, warm and hilarious coming-of-age story about artist dreams and everyday crime. Blooming Weeds: "With Noh, Naqvi has created a youthful voice that both entertains and hits hard. Ugress og asfalt (Weeds and Asphalt) is funny, painful, and accomplished (...) a young adult novel that succeeds on multiple levels at once. Naqvi writes humorously and accessibly about substance abuse, racism, and alienation (...) What is most compelling, however, is the trust Naqvi places in both the character and the reader. (...) Weeds and Asphalt shows rather than tells, and that is precisely why it lingers long after the final page."BOK365, 6/6 stars
