The Drone Catcher
Literature and Fiction / Children's Books2023 · 152 pp · Age 6+

The Drone Catcher

Øyvind Torseter

On a small island lives the Mule Boy. He receives a warning about a catastrophe and locks himself inside his house. The rats have taken over the city. Should he escape, or should he stay put? After consideration, he bravely ventures out into the empty streets, where he finds someone who’s part of the resistance. An adventurous, apocalyptic action-filled story about isolation, being daring and giant rats. The Drone Catcher is the fifth book about Mule Boy, a series 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.Allowing plenty of time is recommended: Between Torseter's covers there is - in every way - so much going on that his broad pages are a joy to turn.KLASSEKAMPEN[The book] is large and thick, but it is wise to give yourself plenty of time on each page, to study the details. This is where the experience lies - and the opportunity to supplement with your own associations and reflections. This applies to both adult readers and children.VÅRT LANDTorseter stands firm in its art form. The overview images are colourful, intricate and detailed, while the close-ups and individual scenes are simple and immediate, with black ink and a white background. This contrasting alternation creates a good flow in the narrative.BARNEBOKKRITIKK

Fiddle Fever

Elin Hansson

Torleif plays the harding fiddle, is a high school student at a boarding school in the city. He's not been to his home village since his mother died two years ago. He's found new friends at school and made his own family. When his grandfather suffers a stroke, Torleif is asked to come home for autumn break to take care of him. His father and brother are quiet men who are mainly interested in hunting. Torleif has never told them that he is gay. He's not told anyone else in the village either, and he particularly doesn't want the old gang of friends, led by Stig-Rune, to know. But then Torleif meets fellow harding fiddle player Horimyo, and all the unsaid things begin to bubble up to the surface.Fiddle Fever is a story of music and love. About family, and daring to be oneself.NORLA SELECTED TITLE SPRING 2023 ONE OF VG’S BEST BOOK OF 2023A credible and touching book about the difficult road to come out of the closet when living in a small village surrounded by masculine men of the very traditional kind. Torleif fights his way through many layers of stereotypes, talk and expectations to appear as he is. He’s a fiddle player, and another quality of the book is that it offers insight into a deeply Norwegian and exotic environment: spelemannslaget (fiddling group).VG, five/six stars A gripping novel for young adults about finding oneself, be oneself and about the love of music. [...] Hansson tours descriptions of nature, cultural history and identity in a wonderful way in this novel. Periskop.no

Alexander Istad

The Dynamite Dudes – Alex, Nikk and Proffen – attend the world’s best school with the world’s best head teacher and their lives are really quite enjoyable. One day when they arrive at school, the head teacher announces that he’s going on a long holiday with his husband. But the dudes need not worry! The head teacher has hired an incredibly talented substitute named Lars-Rune Simonsen. It doesn’t take long after Lars-Rune arrives before strange things start happening at the school. The teachers behave weirdly, almost like robots. The children stop laughing and playing during recess. The Dynamite Dudes even notice an 8-year-old who’s reading The Financial Times! Something is very wrong. The dudes decide to take the matter into their own hands, but that turns out to be easier said than done. Because who is following them through the streets of town? What’s really going on at school? And what happens when one of the brothers disappears without a trace? With the help of an old map of the underground tunnel system under the town, the chemistry kit they got for Christmas and Nikk’s large online following, the Dynamite Dudes unravel a plot bigger and more dangerous than they could ever imagine. The Dynamite Dudes and The Buzzkiller is the first book in a funny and totally crazy series. The book is easy to read and illustrated throughout, perfect for readers of the Treehouse series by Andy Griffiths. NOMINATED TO THE MIDDLE GRADE PRIZE (BOKSLUKERPRISEN) 24/25

Hex

Sigbjørn Mostue

Diana is in her final year of high school and has always been good at most things – except for getting friends. Or a boyfriend. One day a new boy shows up at school, called Simon. He’s handsome and better than her at maths, and when Simon shows interest in Diana she doesn’t know what to do. She can’t understand why this charming boy everyone is talking about is interested in her. At a party Simon sneaks something into Diana’s drink and takes advantage of her while she's intoxicated. When Diana wakes up again, she discovers something awful: her reflection in the mirror shows an ugly, old woman. A witch. The witch in the mirror takes turns between comforting and yelling at Diana, and the difference between fantasy and reality is slowly dissolved. Diana’s behaviour makes those around her react negatively, and she slowly becomes more and more isolated. Online Diana looks for answers about what has happened to her and stumbles across an online community that believes witchcraft is real. Diana becomes convinced that she’s made a deal with the Devil himself, after everything that happened with Simon, and she decides to get revenge. But nothing goes according to Diana’s plan. Sigbjørn Mostue has written a dark and thrilling novel for young adults about the border between superstition, psychosis and intoxication.

How to Talk About Death

Anna Fiske

Death is next up in Anna Fiske’s How series. This is a topic that children are curious about, and which adults may find difficult to discuss. What actually happens with the body when you die? What’s a funeral? And why do we even have to die? Anna Fiske has an incredibly unique form of communicating, and in How to Talk About Death she speaks to the children at their level and takes them seriously, while also managing to write a heart-warming, inclusive and at times even funny book about death. A perfect conversation starter for anyone who has questions about death, or who knows someone who’s passed away. The How-series has been a phenomenal success both in Norway and abroad, and it has been translated into multiple languages. NOMINATED TO THE BRAGE PRIZE FOR BEST NON-FICTION BOOK FOR CHILDREN Useful and concrete about death "Children and adults grieve differently, and Fiske’s book is wide-open with tolerance and understanding. Fiske does what she does best: illustrates and explains in clear and thorough manner – and at the same time, simply and straightforwardly." VÅRT LAND

Why doesn’t the moon fall down?

Dennis Siva Lie

We’re back with 52 new questions children often ask, this time about science. How much does a cloud weigh? Who invented the internet? How many trees do we need to make one toilet roll?

Siva is a biologist and known from the children’s science programme Newton, and is skilled at explaining science to kids. Why doesn’t the moon fall down? is educational, easy to understand and humorously illustrated, and a perfect for beginning to teach science to children aged 6–9. The entire series is illustrated by Leonard Furuberg, who has a playful and accessible style reminiscent of Pixar/ Disney animation.

Watches and Bananas
Children's Books2023 · 80 pp · Age 6+

Watches and Bananas

Lars Saabye Christensen

Every morning Otto counted the watches on display in the window of Watchmaker Dante. Otto would love to buy them all. But he can’t afford that. Even though the watches showed the time, Otto was late for school anyway. After that, Watchmaker Dante set Otto’s watch back a bit. “There you go, now you have lots of time again,” he said. Watches and Bananas is a book about Otto who’s late for school because he stops to count the watches in the window of Watchmaker Dante, about Watchmaker Dante who doesn’t have time to set all the watches, about Otto’s dad who works at the banana ripening factory – and who really wants Otto to also work there one day. Otto doesn’t want to do that, but that’s not exactly easy to say either. One of the greatest Norwegian authors, Lars Saabye Christensen, has written a novel for children, in a magnificent collaboration with one of Norway’s greatest illustrators, Stian Hole. Watches and Bananas is a thoughtful and subtle book about time, watches, friendship, and bananas. And about accepting things as they are.
