But as the rest of the family are sports fanatics, he rare get his way. But one day there is a POOF! and a boy appears. He claims to be a fairy with a magical wand. " You have wished me here", says the boy. "I did?" says Henry. And just like that his life is turned up side down.

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.

Zidane’s Dance

Arild Stavrum

Twelve-year-old Mikke Milnbergan was lucky enough to get a bit of Maradona’s magic a few years ago. Now he’s back – and this time, it’s Zinedine Zidane who needs a hand. As thanks, Mikke gets to borrow Zidane’s incredible feint! What do you do if you’re playing Playstation with your pals and Zinedine Zidane himself appears on the screen asking for your help? Zidane has been kidnapped, and tomorrow he’s supposed to be leading Real Madrid against Barcelona in El Clásico – the biggest match in Spanish soccer. Somebody has to find him and get him home to Madrid. And that somebody turns out to be Mikke, aided by Hansa Shearer and Kari. But Zidane is trapped in the Playstation universe, and Mikke and the gang get sent to Edinburgh in 1550, Stamford Bridge in 1066 (so not Chelsea’s homeground!) and, finally, to Belgium in the First World War, where German and English soldiers play soccer between the trenches. In other words, it isn’t an entirely risk-free the mission isn't exactly risk-free. What is going on – and how can the famous Zidane feint help them? This book is packed with excitement and action, a dash of love and, oddly enough, a spot of snakes and ladders, And, of course, there’s plenty of soccer!
