Benny and the Christmas Calamity
Children's Books2019 · 152 pp · Age 9 - 12

Benny and the Christmas Calamity

Tom Erik Fure

Benny and the Christmas Calamity is an uproarious and heartwarming story about yearning for the traditions of Christmases past, doing whatever it takes to preserve those traditions at any cost, whilst simultaneously navigating the rollercoaster that is tween life. Nobody loves Christmas more than Benny. Traditional Christmas, that is. The way it’s always been. So, imagine his surprise when his parents announce, only two days before Christmas, that the family will be celebrating Christmas in the Canary Islands this year! And what’s worse: they’ll be traveling – and celebrating Christmas (!) – with friends of the family and their son, Ken. Benny’s clueless about a lot of things, but of this he is certain: there is no way he’ll be spending Christmas at the beach, strutting about in a Speedo alongside Ken with his supermodel smile, gorgeous hair, and his ability to reduce Benny to a blubbering mess just by looking at him. This calamity only has one remedy: The trip must be stopped – Benny must go berserk.

Like me

Anne Wisløff

What exactly is exclusion? A look, a comment, a lack of "likes," a snapchat group or a birthday party you weren't invited to? On NRK Super's popular drama Like Me, a broad target audience saw how new forms of bullying – which too many children and teenagers experience on a daily basis – can happen. Like Me – Oda and Arin's Diary is written from two perspectives, in diary-form. By reading about the two girls' dilemmas, their inner struggles and pain, the reader can get a greater insight on the invisible bullying depicted in the TV series. No-one is responsible, but everyone is complicit in the exclusion now occurring in the social arenas today's children and teenagers frequent. It is tough reading for both children and parents, but – just as it was with the TV series – it is here the book's strength lies, in its authenticity. Guaranteed to give you a knot in the stomach.
