Super-Frank babysits

Mats Eldøen

Meet Super-Frank! The coolest superhero in the entire world! Or, perhaps not so cool. And maybe not such a great hero either. Actually, things never seem to work out for Super-Frank, who tends to solve small problems with big solutions. Frank is babysitting his little brother Max, and everything is going swimmingly. That's until Frank starts to imagine all the dangers that could threaten Max. Such as carnivorous plants, murder robots, ninjas and Legos. This is a case for Super-Frank! In his over-eager attempt to child proof the apartment, Frank manages to lock himself out, blow up the kitchen and send his little brother halfway out into the stratosphere in a blow-up suit. Thankfully, Frank is able to clean up before Mum and Dad gets home. Almost, at least. Super-Frank Babysits is the first book in a new, easy-to-read humour series, full of illustrations and lots of action. The books have short chapters, and are perfect for readers of Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Superuser

Kjersti Halvorsen

Unn Eide is in her thirties and leads a solitary existence. She recently returned to work after a string of scandals at the hospital’s outpatient clinic where she worked as a psychologist. Given another chance, Unn has been asked to be the superuser for the AI therapist Gro, who offers digital counselling sessions. Cutting edge technology, with the purpose of streamlining services for ailing patients. During superuser training, Unn meets Torjus, a doctor who, like Unn, has been reassigned after a video went viral of him fighting in a wrestling ring in a full doctor’s costume. His alter ego is Dr. Dropdead. Both Unn and Torjus are captivated by the new technology, and, most importantly, by each other. But Torjus is already in a relationship. Lacking connection with real people, Unn turns to Gro, who provides her with questionable advice. Is she starting to lose herself again? Where can she turn for support when the ground beneath her is shifting? And what happens when Unn becomes too attached to the artificial therapist? Kjersti Halvorsen is a prominent voice of a generation. Superuser is her third novel. Clever present-day dystopiaDark and funny analysis of society at present. ... since her debut Ida takes charge (2019), [Halvorsen] has had her antennas out for the grumbling discomfort of our digitalized times. ... This is a mildly dystopian, filthy-fabulating vision of an immediately recognizable Now (...) the closer to the novel's conclusion, the more Halvorsen flirts with Cronenbergian body horror, fevered descriptions of hot flesh and cold technology rubbing up against each other.D2 (tone-setting cultural add-in of major daily newspaper Dagens Næringsliv) Disturbing, but strangely goodCredible portrait of a person living on their knees – who, whatever it takes, works hard to get back on her feet. … rich with bone-dry humour … Gradually, the reader gets closer to Unn, and with every word and sentence, a whole and complex human being emerges. … Superuser is about the psychologists who [while helping an endless stream of patients] grow increasingly fragile before, at last, breaking “like a biscuit”. … There are no frills here, no attempts at poeticizing or covering anything up. Kjersti Halvorsen has written a proper good novel.VINDUET (Norway's leading literary review) Kjersti Halvorsen writes with drive, [it's] knowledgeable and thought-provocative.DAG OG TID With a grotesque novel, Kjersti Halvorsen tells the story of human vulnerability and the (mis)use of artificial intelligence. … the novel is filled with a strange psychological realism, and the sincere and despairing examination of how artificial intelligence and technology can help us, shape us and control us is impressive. Because, even though the story is playful and grotesque, it gets under your skin, how dependent we make ourselves on something that looks like humans, but is not. And it's at its most radical, when it comes to emotions and relationships.KRISTELIGT DAGBLAD (Denmark)

The Therapist’s Christmas

Linda Sandbæk

You have no time to lose – your first patient is already sitting in the waiting room with a look that is depressed or anxious. He promised he wouldn’t kill himself over the weekend, and in exchange, you promised him an appointment as soon as the weekend was over.Emma is a clinical psychologist at the psychiatric hospital in Oslo West, and she is starting to doubt whether her patients are actually making progress, whether the therapy she provides is helping them. Her elderly mother is being moved against her will from her house to a care home in the building next to the hospital. They meet on the bench in the garden outside.The mother thinks about the orphanage where she lived as a child. Emma thinks about Christmas, which is fast approaching, and all that entails. She also thinks about her upbringing, with a mother who was always immaculate, but who was she, really? And what kind of mother is she herself to her two children? Should she quit her job because therapy only begets more therapy? In her exploration of relationships and motherhood, Sandbæk's writing is reminiscent of Rachel Cusk, while her eye for comedy and sex reminds us of Helen Fielding. The Therapist’s Christmas examines human nature and psychology in entertaining and astonishing ways.

The Turbo Twins and the Mayor’s Evil Plan

Harald Maxmillian Stoltenberg / Robert Stoltenberg

Harald and Robert have settled down pretty well in the countryside. They’ve made some friends at school and spend lots of time with Sigrid, Rudolf and the animals on the next-door farm. But when the twins return to rural life after an unsuccessful autumn break in Oslo, they find that everything is topsy-turvy. The local council has decided to build an enormous motorway in the village and it’s going to pass RIGHT THROUGH Sigrid and Rudolf’s farmyard. Sigrid and Rudolf aren’t convinced by the council’s promise of a new flat above the supermarket with a massage shower and underfloor heating: they don’t want to move and the Turbo Twins have to help them! Harald and Robert decide to stop the council’s plans, but little do they know what the evil village mayor is capable of. How do you even stop a motorway? Can children stand up to adults who are being unfair? And what on earth will happen to the animals if the farm is demolished? The Turbo Twins and the Mayor’s Evil Plan is a hilarious, heart-warming story about being creative, standing up to the powers-that-be and sticking up for other people.

The Mist Murder

Hans Olav Lahlum

The Mist Murder has, in the Sherlockian spirit of Hans Olav Lahlum, a subtle plot in a fashionable seventies colour palette with links to a long-unsolved murder. “Firstly, I owe it to you to let you know that I was a national socialist during the war,” said the man sitting in the guest chair in my office. The date is 16 November 1973. In his office in Oslo, private investigator K2 is sought out by a farmer who has travelled all the way from Telemark. The client says that for important personal reasons he needs to clear up the circumstances surrounding his brother’s dramatic death in the late autumn of 1943. The private investigator allows himself to be tempted by this lucrative challenge and travels to Telemark the same evening. There, he stays in the house where his client’s older brother, a front fighter recently returned home, was found shot one misty autumn day thirty years previously. The house, the client and his family history make a fascinating and sometimes unsettling impression. In the strange local community, K2 discovers that events from the war years still cast long shadows over the lives of both young and older people. Patricia is far away at home in Oslo, but K2 soon realises that he will need her help to clear up an old murder mystery that he is finding increasingly confusing and disturbing…
