Or has everything come out of nothing?

Can anything come out of nothing?”

Questions Asked (2012) is a picture book with fundamental philosophical questions, posed in a way only Jostein Gaarder is capable of.

The illustrator, Akin Duzakin, has made an independent and beautiful picture narrative that underscores the existential aspect of Gaarder’s philosophical questions.

Jonas Nilsen is counting down the days until his mom returns. His mother has been in prison since he was eight. He is fourteen now. During these years, Jonas has covered up the truth, made up stories and created his own reality.

Now she is finished serving her sentence, and Jonas knows he has to tell her the truth. That he is not popular, that he is not in the student council, that school is going badly and that his girlfriend Bobby does not really exist.

Winner of the 2008 Norwegian Ministry of Culture children’s book award.

Gerd is the younger of two sisters and the black sheep in the family. When a new girl comes to live nearby, Gerd feels that her relationship with her friend Kajsa is threatened. The two compete for the new girl’s friendship in a tussle that hardly brings out the best in them.

When she responds, Markus is drawn into a humorous adventure that requires him to invent more stories. In the end Markus realizes that he wants to experience something more difficult: he wants to be himself.

This is the first book in the series about the unpredictable 13-year-old Markus, which has become a huge success in both Norway and abroad.

THE SUMMER DAD TURNED GAY Original title: Den sommeren pappa ble homo First published: 2012 Genre: Young Adult Arvidsjaur has a name he’d rather be kept a secret, a dog he’d like to have locked up and a dad who’s been acting strange ever since mom ran away with her a-little-too-personal trainer… As if that wasn’t enough; this year he and his dad are spending their summer vacation in an old, derelict caravan in the middle of nowhere. That’s where he meets Indiane. She has a father who insists on walking around bare-chested, and who all too often drops by to visit Arvidsjaur’s dad.

A lot of things go wrong this summer. And the weather isn’t that great either…

Endre Lund Eriksen was born in Bodø in 1977.

But while the happy couple is on holiday in Dubai, Omar is brutally attacked and killed.
