Hilda Bumblevik and The People Who Disappeared

Irmelin Persdatter Gustavsen

Hilda Bumblevik’s life is turned upside down when a sleazy man with bad intentions captures her mother’s heart. Instead of going on an awesome summer holiday they have to move to the town of Søderdal where Hilda soon notices that everything isn’t as it should be. Who is the pale man on the stairs outside the abandoned sanatorium? Why are the teachers at school so peculiar? And what is her stepfather Timian really hiding in the attic of their new house in Coffin Street? Hilda Bumblevik and The People Who Disappeared is an impressive debut novel and coming-of-age-story, full of suspense, mystery, and humour.REVIEWS A smashing debutWhat a universe of delightful characters. What a universe of humour, horror, excitement and drama. What a debut. Prepare to bite your nails, grin and laugh. Hilda Bumblevik will have you hooked in no time.FIVE/SIX STARSFredriksstad blad Pageturner for young readers(…) a very entertaining debut, and a gift for any school librarian or bookseller looking for new fodder to hungry readers. Gustavsen keeps the excitement high, and keeps the reader in the dark just long enough so they’ll keep wanting more. There’s never a dull moment. FIVE/SIX STARSBOK365.NO Thrilling horrorIt's a joy to read this book. Also for a grown-up! Gustavsen has a way with words and a linguistic excess that you can just sit back and enjoy. While the complications and mysteries pile up, Hilda opens up little pockets of air and humour with her absent-minded digressions.Klassekampen Confident thrillerThe debut is characterised by warm humour, excitement and surprising horror.Periskop.no

In this book you will find 356 strange, funny and mysterious words that pique curiosity and expand your vocabulary. Some of them are old-fashioned, quirky words that maybe your grandmother or grandfather knows. Others have their roots in Greek or Latin and might be scientific, but are just as funny and whimsical. Learning from this book, children can impress the grown ups. Helene Uri is an expert in words, and together with internationally renowned illustrator Kristin Roskifte, she has created this playful, colourful and exuberant celebration of weird words. This is a book for forward thinking parents who want to give their children a head start, and also a perfect gift for children aged 6 years and up. And if you where wondering - a mucofagus is a snot eater. The rest of the answers you will find in the book. A White Raven 2023
