Ancient Egypt

Eldrid Johansen

Come along on an exciting voyage to Egypt in the olden days. You’ll encounter pharaohs and pyramids, sphynxes and hieroglyphics. In Ancient Egypt, people believed in life after death.

And what was happening here in the North while the Egyptians were learning about writing and culture? Totally thrilling material for kids who have cracked the reading code!

Disgusting

Alexander H. Sandtorv

Slimy snot, stinky farts, squirting diarrhoea and the sound of a knife scraping a plate. The world is full of disgusting things. But what are some really disgusting things? And why are they disgusting? The reader will find the answers in this book. But it comes with a warning! If you can’t cope with reading about truly disgusting, repulsive, stinky, slimy stuff, you must not buy this book! The book is repulsively illustrated by Linn Eielsen who has clearly channelled her inner stinking and anally fixated nine-year-old. The resulting illustrations are… well… nauseating.

The Hearse

Knut Nærum / Karstein Volle

It is Year 81 in a new era. Humans have built new cities. The tallest of all is Utropolis – a place with little space and insatiable energy needs. Where does the energy come from? What becomes of the dead? And what goes on out in the shantytowns? The Hearse is an intricate, exciting graphic novel about people seeking answers and authorities who treat the populace like idiots – all conveyed in Karstein Volle’s unique drawing style.

Life

Dag O. Hessen

What is life and how did it come about? In Life, Dag O. Hessen tries to build a bridge between the existential wonder we all feel and the prominent scientists who have attempted to give us concrete answers to these vast questions. The result is an ambitious but fittingly unpretentious and engaging tale of the jaw-dropping series of chances that led to the diversity of life on Earth today. Life is a plea to the reader to be grateful for the winning ticket that every one of us has drawn, and a hope that a greater understanding of the millions of flukes that resulted in the planet’s diversity will also give us a stronger motivation to protect it.
