SOFIA FINDS A SONG In the middle of the hubbub of the busy city she lives in, Sofia discovers a mysterious melody. It stands out from all the other noises, it shines, it lights up, it has its own colour, it sneaks up through the city like magical wind with a melody in it. It creeps through the streets and up through the floor she stands on, inside the soles of her shoes, it tickles her toes, her feet must dance, they are not able to stop, it’s as if the song is dancing with her rather than the other way around. But where is the sound coming from? In Sofia Finds a Song we’re taken on an adventure to find a melody with magnetic powers. Because when you find your own song, it is yours forever.

ENGLISH SAMPLE TRANSLATION
Yes, it’s actually impossible to live without sleeping! Our brain works very hard all day long. Even when we’re just lying on the sofa relaxing, our brain is racing. All this activity tires the brain out and it needs to rest. A bit like when you go for a long walk and eventually your legs get so weary they need to rest up. You can’t walk till the end of time, nor can you stay awake forever. But what’s odd about the brain is that it goes on working when you’re asleep. All the activities of the day turn into a huge jumble inside the brain, but at night it has time to make them clean and tidy so you have space for new thoughts and experiences the next day. Without these breaks, you could actually become seriously unwell. Luckily, our body is good at letting us know when the brain needs some rest. That’s when we feel tired! There’s nothing more important than listening to our body when it’s asking for some sleep. If we don’t, we become exhausted, get grouchy and in a bad mood, and everything goes from bad to worse until we have the chance to sleep again.
TRENGER VI EGENTLIG Å SOVE?

Ja, det er faktisk helt umulig å leve uten å sove! Hjernen vår jobber veldig hardt hele dagen lang. Selv når vi bare ligger på sofaen og slapper av, er det fullt tempo i hjernen. All denne aktiviteten gjør hjernen sliten, og da trenger den hvile. Litt som når du går en lang tur: Til slutt blir beina dine så slitne at de trenger å hvile. Du kan ikke gå i det uendelige, og du kan heller ikke være våken i det uendelige. Men det som er spesielt med hjernen, er at den jobber selv om du sover. Alle dagens opplevelser blir et stort rot i hjernen, men om natta får den tid til å rydde og gjøre rent, slik at du får plass til flere nye opplevelser og tanker neste dag. Uten disse pausene kan du faktisk bli alvorlig syk. Heldigvis er kroppen god til å si fra når den trenger at hjernen skal få hvile. Da blir vi nemlig trøtte! Det er lite som er viktigere enn å lytte til kroppen når den ber oss om å sove. Gjør vi ikke det, blir vi slitne, får dårlig hukommelse og blir sure, og alt blir bare kjipere frem til vi får sove igjen.

Irmelin Persdatter Gustavsen
The door to the sanatorium opens, and a pale man comes out onto the stone stairs. His face has a vacant expression. The mouth is half open under the big, white mustache. He just stands there and stares into thin air. A man with a lab coat comes out behind him and pulls his arm and leads him back in. I pay close attention. The tall man in the lab coat comes out again with a trash bag that he pulls behind him around the building. Horror movie like. What if there’s a dead body in the bag? A tuberculosis corpse?
Mum has pulled out a map which she’s folded out in her lap. She’s not paying attention at all.
Excerpt from Hilda Bumblevik and The People Who Disappeared
‘But there’s someone there,’ I say. ‘It was probably shut down a long time ago, Hilda. Sanatoriums don’t exist anymore,’ Mum says. Irritated, she curls up the map and shoves it into the back seat, and drives the car back onto the road. She pulls the driver’s seat forward so she gets an even better view out through the front windshield. I turn to look for the man, but he’s gone. It just looks like an abandoned building that was a sanatorium fifty years ago.

Simon and Helena start this story as slaves owned by a nice and reform-friendly slave owner called Reformius. But once more there is a murder (that of Reformius) and once more Simon and Helena get blamed (rude!). They have to run away so they can find a way to clear their own names, and find out why anyone would want Reformius dead. A wild journey ensues, through Plato’s cave, and to Athens just as they are celebrating the end of the Spartan war. It’s total chaos, and the two friends lose each other in the masses. Simon is suddenly on a ship with Odysseus (he says), while Helena has to dress as a soldier to get food and accidentally gets recruited for the war in Asia. How will they get back? Will they find a way to reunite? Can they uncover the conspiracy that killed Reformius? Will Simon win a gold medal, while naked, at the Olympics?

Like Me: The First Time is about being sixteen, about unrequited love, about being naked and scared with someone else, about exploring the scary and unknown. And about trying to like yourself when everyone else does something different. Guaranteed to cause butterflies. ‘The novel is a thorough sexual education, which in 240 pages has time to touch upon pretty much everything about sex. Consent, contraception, fetishes, toys, rape, porn, pregnancy and so on. And everything is done on the teenagers' premises.’ Wisløff’s new young adult novel is a sure-fire tale of the youth’s conflicts, fears, dilemmas and loves. In this book everything is refreshingly up to date.’
It's time for sexual education at school. Sex is a subject the teenagers pretend they know all about and have a big interest in, but what happens when it’s time to try it out in real life with someone? Neither the experience nor the emotions around it may be as expected, and what happens when everyone else thinks they know what happened and it gets shared on social media? The vulnerability of being young and inexperienced in sexuality and love are recurring themes for the characters in this book.
How do you even have sex? What if you don’t want to have sex, while everyone else acts like it has to happen now? How do you cope if the person you like likes someone else?

Summer approaches, and he is expecting dull days of hanging around with his one-eyed mate, Arif from Somalia, while the white and rich Norwegians have ditched Oslo for one of their numerous summerhouses. But there is a change of plans when Mahmoud’s Uncle Ji from Pakistan arrives. Mahmoud gets the job of showing him Oslo, but Uncle Ji is sceptical of both Mahmoud’s family and Norwegian society.

Eit anna blikk 130 x 205 / 232 pages Age 13–18 Erlend Skjetne (b. 1988) comes from Melhus and works as a Norwegian language teacher for immigrants. He was nominated the Tarjei Vesaas debut prize for the collection of poems Skare (2019). In 2021, Skjetne was awarded NTNU’s literature prize and the Bokhandelen’s author scholarship.

He was also nominated for The Norwegian Critics Award for the same book.
Erlend Skjetne
A DIFFERENT VIEW I picture him now: There is light snow in the air, he is pulling a hand through the black hair. Just like that he sends me a glance, a quick smile, before lifting a small backpack out of the luggage compartment. If he is traveling that light, he must be one of us.
A Different View is a story told from a refugee reception centre in the north of Norway. Eighteen Afghan boys are living there, and Anwar is one of them. He loves books and languages and is called The Professor by the other boys. One day Walid moves into his room. Walid is the absolute opposite of Anwar. A charming rebel and excellent football player. Gradually a friendship grows between Anwar and Walid. But everyday life at the centre is hard and the future uncertain. Who of them – if any – will get to stay in Norway?
FRAMTIDA.NO 'In the Young Adult book, A Different View, which with the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan could hardly have been more relevant, Erlend Skjetne gives the refugees a voice. […] He has now written his first Young Adult novel, and it has become an ambitious and important book. Important because it looks at teenage life in Norway from a completely unknown side. Ambitious because Anwar is a philosophically minded young man, who will happily ponder over concepts such as home, community, friendship and belonging. The language is also ambitious.' NRK
'A Different View is linguistically interesting, touching and wise. […] The book is about underage Afghan refugees and is solid and loaded with important perspectives. […] Anwar’s diary notes and school assignments are full of funny linguistic twists and turns. […] This compassionate and curious gaze at other people, the rural culture, Norwegian grammar and the incredibly cold climate is one of the book’s foremost qualities. The main character leaves his mark on the reader.' VG 'The thoughts are big, the associations are many. You easily get drawn into the book’s universe. It is exciting and intense.'

AFTENPOSTEN 'Block to Block is a personal and important show, told by those who could have fallen outside of society.'
Block to Block is about ending up where you are, not because of, but despite of. Don Martin, Castro, and Fela are famous Norwegian rap artists, who are now sharing their stories and taking the readers into their block of flats, behind their music and lyrics. This is a vivid and tough depiction of growing up from East Oslo. It’s original and quick-mouthed, uncompromising, and important. These are vital voices that deserve to be heard. It is a cool, commercial, and original book about a rough life on the Eastside of Oslo. At the same time, it’s a vulnerable family story about suicide, and not least the story of when hip hop came to Norway. This graphic novel is based on the hip hop show Block to Block with Don Martin, Fela and Castro, which was a breakout success at Det Norske Teatret.

Join us in finally taking down the patriarchy!
Through history feminists have been ridiculed and harassed all around the World. In the 18th Century well known feminists where decapitated in the guillotines, and in the 19th Century the Suffragettes were thrown in jail. In our time feminist activists are imprisoned in countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia. Feminists are labelled as moody, angry and unattractive. Still, new generations are daring to proudly call themselves Authorfeminists.Marta Breen and illustrator
Jenny Jordahl have through a number of books proved themselves as great communicators when it comes to the history of women. In this book they take the reader for a joyride through the cultural history of the patriarchy. With a good dose of humour they tell the stories about how men from Aristoteles to Woody Allen has described the world through the male gaze. They tell the stories of the women who through history has fought the oppression – and they rank the world’s worst sexists through times.
