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

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.
