The Wafflefish

Bjørn F. Rørvik

Fox and Piglet have borrowed a book about fish, with pictures ofall sorts of fish and sea creatures. Some of the fish look very funny, for example the Gurglefish. Others look very nasty to eat, suchas the Potatomouth, which is U.N.O.P – Unusually Nasty On Pizza. But there are also some which look remarkably good, and most tempting of all is the Wafflefish.Piglet fancies a wafflefish for dinner. So the two friends go on a fishing trip – but there may be more than wafflefish lurking in the deep.The Wafflefish (Vaffelfisken) is the twelfth book about Fox and Piglet. Here again Rørvik and Dybvig are in top form, as they have been right from their very first book, twenty years ago. 'The Wafflefish is good storytelling inspired by adventure, with funny animals given human attributes and weaknesses. This is a book that surprises, that we laugh at and grow fond of. In short: Quality fun for little ones.'DAGBLADET 'A fresh and fanciful fishy story which will delight readers of all ages.'BYAVISA FREDRIKSTAD

But then they see a man beaten up, and when they attempt to help him he thrusts a quadrangular contraption upon them. 'Don't go to the police,' he whispers. Clara has promised everyone that she won't play detective anymore. The girls make their way to the railway station With haste, but it's not their fault that somebody is on their tail... 13-year-old Clara has a tendency to get caught up in mysteries and criminal activities. Enthusiastic readers have followed her adventures throughout four books thus far, and it makes sense that they will also want to join Clara and Emilie in London – on a shopping trip, of course…

The Skier

Eldrid Johansen

Jens doesn't like skiing, at any rate not when it is dark and cold. Even though the lighted ski trail is right outside the house, he is not tempted. But his parents keep on at him, and eventually Jens puts on his skis. It's eerie in the woods, his ski technique is poor and he is entirely alone. He loses control on a steep slope, runs straight into a tree and loses consciousness. Fortunately, somebody comes by who rouses him and helps him home, somebody who makes skiing much more fun! But who really is this person he has met in the woods? Eldrid Johansen has a good grasp of eerie shivers suitable for the youngest readers. Skiløperen is creepily and darkly illustrated by Marie Lyshol.

Maradona’s Moral
Children's Books2015 · 160 pp · Age 9 - 12

Maradona’s Moral

Arild Stavrum

It is the Norway Cup and football tournament. Ekebergsletta is full to bursting with hopeful football players. Mikke is taking part wearing Maradona's magic football boots. The ones that once made Maradona the best football player ever. With them Mikke is a superstar on the pitch, but still, all is not as it should be. Will success cost Mikke his friends and girlfriend? And will we finally find out who is the better player out of Mikke and his rival Sondre Goma from Clausenengen and Nordlandet? Maradonas moral is the third book in the trilogy about Mikke Milnbergan and his friends. ‘This is a book about passion and dreams, about wanting to be the best. And the latter is something that Stavrum does very well indeed. The games are described well, the nerve of the players clearly depicted. Maradonas moral will make old football legends dream of the old days, and young hopefuls have another go with the ball in the garden. Young football players will love this book, and little is better than that.’DEMOKRATEN

The Serpent’s Egg

Alexander Løken

Don't miss The Serpent´s Egg, the follow-up to the critically-acclaimed The Troll Skull. Edvard Frost (15) is bored of working as a dogsbody for The Collector. One day, a soaking wet sea captain arrives with a hand-drawn map, and The Collector rallies his best crew for a new expedition. But the hunt for the Midgard Serpent's egg is dangerous, and Edvard ends up in much deeper trouble than he thought possible. Alexander Løken's critically-acclaimed debut book, The Troll Skull, was nominated for both ARK's children's book prize and Bokslukerprisen. This is the follow-up, which with well-timed humour and a fast pace takes Edvard and the reader far out to sea and even deeper into Nordic mythology. Now we can but wait for the trilogy's exciting conclusion! ‘This is so refreshing a fantasy series that it can only leave people wanting more, and not only young readers, but also young-at-heart adult readers who can’t get enough of dark depths and impenetrable secrets. This is simply amazing.’ HAMAR ARBEIDERBLAD ‘The story itself is also exciting and unpredictable, with a logical coherence that the reader will be quick to grasp. … captivating and well-written fantasy book for young people.’ VÅRT LAND

Sherleek and the Ski Mystery

Bjørn F. Rørvik

Did you think that the World Ski Championships were going to be held in Falun in 2015? WRONG! They're actually going to be held in Norway this year. But due to little snow in the capital, some of the events have been moved to Hurlumskogen, where white snow is just as certain as medals for the Norwegian athletes. Sherleek isn't uninterested, but Pepper is very excited. She loves to cheer on the Norwegians in front of the telly. Best of all is Gunnar Firbranch-Heap, the superstar athlete who outshines all the other skiers. Russian Kukumberov and Swedish favourite Lars Birch might as well go home and relax – Norway are sure to win gold! But then the unthinkable happens. Firbranch-Heap's skis are stolen during the first evening of the World Ski Championships. All of his skis! The case is clear: Sherleek needs to get out his magnifying glass and solve this big ski mystery, or there won't be any gold medals for Norway.

On the Run in Sillyland

Cathrine Myhre Solbjør

På rømmen i dusteland is the winner of Cappelen Damm's children's novel competition. From the jury's assessment: "Cathrine Myhre Solbjør's manuscript is teasing, fast-paced and original. The style is loud but thoughtful, catching the intensity of children's experiences. It makes fun of the adult world and demonstrates emphatically that if there are people who do many strange and childish things, they are the grown-ups. Whether it is the main character's mother who blogs about every trivial incident, or her father who does push-ups in the yard and is so stressed-out that he puts the pizza into the dishwasher to warm. Cathrine Myhre Solbjør emerged early in the judging and was unanimously selected as winner. She has written a story which is as fearless and frisky as its main character, Elina. It has a secure place in a Nordic tradition of vigorous and capable girl heroes, while going its own way to describe a new age." ‘I like the main character Elina’s energy and courage. The burlesque elements work brilliantly … this is a good old story told in a rather new way.’AFTENPOSTEN ’A fast-moving story about a lively girl … Elina herself is clearly a children’s book heroine. Rather lonely, but energetic and fearless. She has a taste for fast and dangerous adventures and an open mind about unorthodox people. … Thomas Kirkeberg’s illustrations are humorous and as dramatic and exaggerated as the plot itself. The speed and excitement of the text and the pictures will certainly appeal to children, as will the theme of new and old friendships and of clinging onto hope when everything seems gloomy.’DAGBLADET
