Learn your ABCs with Cool Dinosaurs

Line Halsnes

Learn your ABCs with Cool Dinosaurs is an educational and engaging activity book full of fun number and counting tasks for the very smallest children. Dinosaurs are the focus here – along with the letters. The author is just as painstaking with details as in the original books, but a lot more is left up to the reader in this one. And of course there are stickers in the middle of the book!

Page Monkey

Mats Michael Sandstad

In Page Monkey, we meet a young man breaking free from his usual existence. He would generally refer to himself as a pianist, but today, as on so many other days, he is just asked to turn the pages for someone giving a concert. Unfortunately, he messes up. He turns a page too quickly, fumbles and struggles as the sheet music becomes increasingly crumpled, and following this he is forced to look for work outside of the institutions. Ugh. That’s how he ends up in the archipelago, working as a piano teacher for a family of four. Sure, the cabin has a jetty, boat and solar panels, but strangely enough, it has no piano. And so he finds himself waiting for both a piano and restitution – until an unexpected guest stops by for dinner. Page Monkey is the story of a docile musician who is out for revenge. And about his strange friend, Florian. Page Monkey is a clever and unseemly story about classical music, being amenable, and about recovering from a fall.

Bloodbank

Bloodbank

Sarah Zahid

In a metaphorical sense, blood can mean everything from life and passion, to desire, anger and inspiration. But perhaps first and foremost it means family. Family is your own blood. And it follows you, and fills you, your whole life. In the first poem in the collection Bloodbank, the poet's mother dies. In all the subsequent ones, she lives anyway. Bloodbank is, like the world, both merciless and full of mercy. It is a collection about a skinny and harsh teenager, who is trying to become a big and strong adult. Trying to win the eternal battle with their own blood.

Blood

Torgrim Eggen

What makes two teenage brothers from a small village in Norway, enlist in Waffen-SS? Oddmund and Sigurd grow up in a small Norwegian village in the 1930s, surrounded by competing ideologies and political tensions. Dark clouds loom over the valley. Europe is on the brink of war, and soon everyone must choose a side. The brothers align themselves with the Germans in the fateful struggle against Stalin. At just seventeen years old, they both become soldiers in Waffen-SS. While Oddmund fights at Leningrad, Sigurd is sent to Finland. They survive the war, but when they return to a liberated Norway, they must face the consequences of their choices. How will their lives unfold? And what marks do they leave on their descendants and family? In the novel’s final part, the author himself steps forward—as their nephew and descendant—in an attempt to understand the legacy of Sigurd and Oddmund. The result is a novel of moral gravity, linguistic precision, and emotional force. Blood is a story about heroes and traitors, the dream of honour and the nightmares that follow, and it portrays a time that bears an unsettling resemblance to our own. «Eggen’s most ambitious, most personal, and certainly his best novel. [...] Eggen’s prose is razor-sharp, full of historical detail and fascinating observations.»Adresseavisen, six/six stars «Eggen delivers a gripping story.»Dag og Tid «Well-written nightmare»Aftenposten «As a war novel, Blood contains most of the genre’s typical elements such as cold, dirt, venereal diseases, waiting, explosions, blood and misery. [...] Torgrim Eggen is a classic golden pen, agile and light and elegant, even when the subject matter is as grim as here. It is dramatic and eventful.»Dagens Næringsliv

Eggen has one of Norway's sharpest pens
