The Turbo Twins and the Great Dodgeball Battle
Children's Books2022 · 376 pp · Age 6 - 9

The Turbo Twins and the Great Dodgeball Battle

Robert Stoltenberg / Harald Maxmillian Stoltenberg

Turbo Twins Robert and Harald have to move from the big city to the countryside, because their mother gets a whim and needs more space for her thoughts. The house they’re moving to is run down, has an outdoor toilet and the whole area smells like cow dung. The Turbo Twins look forward to starting a new school, but already on their first day it turns out the entire school and everyone in the village is completely obsessed with one single ting: DODGEBALL. In addition to this, the twins end up in the same class as the school bully and dodgeball state champion, Sølvi. Sølvi challenges the twins to create their own dodgeball team and sign up for the big tournament that takes place every year. But who should be on their team? What happened to the new boy in their class who disappeared without a trace after the last tournament? And how in the world do you even play dodgeball? The Turbo Twins and the Great Dodgeball Battle is hysterically funny and heart-warming story about being a good brother, a good friend, and a good person. «One of the most fast-paced and fun books of 2022.»VG, FIVE/SIX STARS «It's obvious that the authors have wished to write an easily read, plot-driven story. The 34 chapters contain few dead points, and the text is tightly composed with the preparations for the Dodgeball Battle as the red thread. The story is full of dialogues in an oral language that flows well, and the end of each chapter contains small cliffhangers that makes me curious as to what will happen next.»PERISKOP

Spellbound

Aleksander Kirkwood Brown

What do you do when you find out that Huldra, The Nix and goblins are not urban legends invented to scare children, but actual creatures who live in the shadows of Oslo’s streets? Peter and his mum have just moved into grandpa’s apartment in Oslo after he’s sent to a care home. Peter is unhappy because he knows they will be moving again soon. Then he meets an unusual girl. She’s invisible to everyone else, but Peter can see her. And she’s not the only underground creature that walks around underground in Oslo… When a little girl next door is kidnapped – by the Draugr – Peter is pulled into a reality and a part of Oslo he didn’t know existed. But why can Peter see the underground creatures? And what does his grandpa know, but isn’t able to tell him? Spellbound is an action-packed and original urban fantasy-graphic novel for young adults. It’s the first title in a trilogy.REVIEWS«Aleksander Kirkwood Brown and Luis Guaragna have created an enchanting new series based on Norwegian folklore.»Bok365, six/six starsOslo’s shady sides«Aleksander Kirkwood Brown has established himself as one of fantasy literature’s foremost frontrunners in Norway, with particular consideration for children and teens. (…) At least I want to keep on reading the next book.»D2«That Kirkwood Brown with his background in fairy tales and Guaranga with his background in metal-like aesthetic meets in an Oslo-based emo-elf-like universe seems both brilliant and right.»EMPIRIX.COM «And it’s… really solid? Structure wise, it does all the things that a story like this is supposed to: It’s very professional. But there’s plenty of originality in the elements the book uses (instead of just copying monsters from Tolkien and Sandman, it uses Norwegian supernatural beings), and it’s surprisingly moving. Well done.»LARS.INGEBRIGTSEN.NO «… it [feels] as if I have opened the door and is standing on the threshold of a new and exciting world when I read this story. I cannot wait to see where they will go on from here, and to be better acquainted with Oslo’s ‘underground’.»SERIENETT.NO

Beautiful Mothers

Petter Brevik

Johannes meets Aurelia in High School. Unfortunately, the happiness does not last, as Aurelia breaks up with him after two months. In a failed attempt to get her back, Johannes lies about being fatally ill. Beautiful Mothers is a linguistically conscious collection of seven short stories, where topics like rejection and masculinity are present. The stories have different temperaments but might all be the tales of the same narrator. In this way the book is also a portrait of a person in deep isolation, in a universe of broken connections that still must be uphold.

Persistent Weak Layers
Literature and Fiction2022 · 128 pp

Persistent Weak Layers

Kjersti Kollbotn

Persistent weak layers is a term used for a phenomenon that occurs in snow and that can potentially lead to avalanches. The remarkable thing about this phenomenon is that these layers can be buried deep down in the snow and therefore be invisible. Not surprisingly, this is also what makes them so dangerous. In other words, hikers can’t see any signs of danger, and it’s only when you start digging deeper that the weak layers show themselves. Emil is on a springtime ski trip in the mountains. Weather conditions during the season have left the mountainsides unstable and there are persistent weak layers in the snow beneath him. Internally, Emil also has persistent weak layers of his own. These two circumstances combine to unfortunate effect. Kjersti Kollbotn’s writing has never shied away from tough topics – and the same applies to this book. She also writes very well about nature and being out in the great outdoors. This is an exciting story.

Science Madness: Crazy Experiments

Alexander H. Sandtorv

Crazy Experiments is packed full of facts, humorous illustrations, terrifying fascination, experiments you can do at home and fun facts. These are the wildest of all experiments throughout history. They are loud and explosive, crackling and slimy. They are unbelievable, weird and thoughtprovoking. There are experiments with fire (how does one make fireworks or dynamite?), electricity (can ligntning be created in a laboratory?) and medicine (what happens if you let a flea live under your skin for months?). Underneath it all is a fundamental respect and fascination for the inventiveness of humans, and how it drives the world forward. Where had we been without the experiments? Author Alexander guides the reader along the way as a kind of nutty professor who lets anything happen in his laboratory and explains which experiments can be recreated at home.Science Madness is a living, breathing introduction to science and all the crazy stuff which drives the world forward. An original series about all the wild stuff which happens in the name of science.

Voodoo Science

Voodoo Science

Terje Dragseth

Terje Dragseth’s new extensive collection of poetry and prose Voodoo Science is included in the so-called Weird Poetry, where the subject is projected into a strange, depraved and weird world, like in Edvard Munch’s expressionism where the anxiety is encircled by a blood red sky. The poems and texts curve and bend the laws of nature and empiricism. The texts exist in a world which reminds us about the one found in science fiction, where unfamiliar forces affect the subject. It’s a journey into the unpredictable, the beautiful and dark areas of the human consciousness.
