She also meets her brother again and saves him.

The Story of the Little Sparrow PICTURE BOOKS
Jonas Gardell
”A
story told in a classical fairytale tone. /…/ There is an underlying message here not to judge in affection, but instead look up and give reflection a chance. Martin Jacobson’s lifelike images that alternate in warm color and detailed black and white are beautiful.”
BTJ, Sweden
A self-centered blue tit and an even more self-centered great tit live in a lovely little garden. One day, a tired and cold little sparrow comes and wonders if it can move into the garden too. The two birds aren’t particularly keen on the idea of this ugly and insignificant bird moving in, so they banish it to the bare tree in the furthermost corner of the garden. But things aren’t always what they seem to be. When spring comes, an amazing transformation occurs: the bare tree blossoms with beautiful flowers and delicious fruits, and suddenly the blue tit and the great tit decide that they want to be friends with the little sparrow after all.
Jonas Gardell (b. 1963) is one of the greatest and most distinctive voices in Swedish literature today.

Summer Shadow CHAPTER BOOKS
Tina Mackic
Illustrated by Johanna Arpiainen
There is a magical costume that you must never, under any circumstances, put on. This costume grants its wearer magical pranking abilities but also robs the wearer of any control. It would have you playing tricks on people, getting up to mischief, and pouring sticky, black shadow slime on everyone and everything. Basically: it would make a real mess of things. This costume, which you and everyone else needs to avoid, is made of black fabric with yellow eyes and wavy, white whiskers and anyone who wears it becomes the Summer Shadow. But staying away from it is easier said than done...
”It is both an exciting and fun read when the search for the suit begins. /…/ There are details both in the text and the illustrations that only the observant reader can use to figure out who is hiding inside the suit.”

The Books About Mademoiselle Oiseau

Bobbie Peers
Bobbie Peers
In the middle of Paris, not far from the river Seine, lies the Avenue des Temps Perdus. There, at the very top floor of a beautiful old apartment building, lives Mademoiselle Oiseau. If you lift your chin and look up, it almost seems as if the building is swaying. Not only because it is very tall, but also because all of Mademoiselle Oiseau’s birds and cats and odd balcony furniture make it seem a little bit whimsical.
One day, nine-year-old Isabella accidentally presses floor six instead of five when she steps into the elevator. Only when she enters the key into the door lock does she notice that something is not right. But then it’s already too late. Before she can blink, she is pulled into Mademoiselle Oiseau’s apartment - a world of feathers and frills, long pearl necklaces and high heels, wayward cats, curious birds and silk dresses galore. But also, a world where a magical panther button and secret rooms live a life of their own among the rooftops of Paris.
A stunning, lovely fairy tale about the friendship between a little girl and a timeless lady, about life, love and dreams. About what’s true and what’s almost true, and about everything that’s almost too good to be true but is true, nonetheless. Or is it really?
Andrea de la Barre de Nanteuil (b.1976) and Lovisa Burfitt (b. 1973) are the artists behind the series about Mademoiselle Oiseau. Andrea is a writer and works at a fashion house in Paris. Lovisa is a successful impressionist illustrator. Together, they create books that capture the timeless romance of the French capital.

Four Minutes Past Midnight
Conny Palmkvist
“I barely have words to describe this book, because it hit me right in the heart and brought tears to my eyes, which is a rare thing to happen to me.” eventyrdromme, Denmark
Why do parents die? How can it even be allowed to happen? Nicolaus is still only a child and parents shouldn’t die. But on this night in July, nothing is as it should be.
Twelve-year-old Nicolaus watches over his mother’s sick bed alongside his father. It’s nighttime and all is quiet on ward thirtyfour as Nicolaus is growing restless. He realizes he can’t stand to just sit around and wait for his mom to die; he needs to get away. In the elevator he sees a button that wasn’t there before. When he presses it, the elevator doors close and transport him to a very different kind of place.
It’s four minutes past midnight when he arrives to the Final station. It’s where everyone goes at some point. Or is it? Somehow, Nicolaus has stopped time two minutes before his mom will die. But what do you do if you discover that you can stop time, and even travel in time? Can you change the past – or the future?
Four Minutes Past Midnight is a unique, heartfelt, and beautiful children’s novel written in a sensitive, warm tone with a sprinkling of subtle humor.
“Beautiful children’s novel about saying goodbye and letting go. You feel Nicolaus’ desperation in this wonderful story!” Dutch author Marlies Slegers
“Conny Palmkvist’s new book is a fantasy about the fight against the inevitable. Very powerful and touching about life, illness, and the love of a family.”

Fifty-five Meters Below the Surface Conny Palmkvist
The house across the yard is about to be demolished, but something is not right. Inside, a curtain suddenly flutters, one Bengt Gustav has never seen before. He enters the house even though he isn’t supposed to, and on the second floor he finds a door marked “1984.” It becomes the first in a series of time-travels, where Bengt Gustav is given the opportunity to fix everything that has gone wrong for his father through the years, all the things his father blames his alcoholism on. Only, things never get any better.
The only calm place left to Bengt Gustav is the water. Lowering himself into the bathtub, he thinks about Guillaume Néry, who for a long time held the world record in freediving. In the water, Bengt Gustav sees his lifeboat from below, the one he is in all by himself. The lifeboat that will save him when his father goes off the rails.
Bengt Gustav finally realizes that he has to let more people onto his lifeboat, right now. That will be the only way he and his father can find a way forward.
“Fifty-fiveMetersBelowtheSurfaceis a linguistically clever, humoristically sensitive, and thought provoking book for middle graders. /…/ There are serious themes and heavy emotions, but at the same time an extraordinary warmth and love, depicted in a first-person narrative. Palmkvist once again shows that he fully trusts children’s capability to independently read, interpret, feel, and think.”

”The touching final scene offers a perfect mix of cozy and fun, with a wacky twist.”

Flutters of the Heart Moa Backe Åstot
No one at school believes Vilda when she tells them she is Sámi. There are always a million questions: Do you speak Sámi? Do you own reindeer? Is your dad Sámi? But no matter what answers Vilda give, it’s like she’s not Sámi enough for them. She’s decided to change that. She’s going to start wearing gábdde, the traditional Sámi clothing, and ask her grandfather, the only one in her family who speaks Sámi, to teach her the language.
But when Vilda’s grandfather suddenly passes away, everything is turned upside down. Vilda has to navigate her Sámi heritage all on her own. At the funeral she meets Samuel. He is a few years older and has everything Vilda wants for herself: the gábdde, the reindeer, the language. Everything her grandfather never got the chance to give her. Perhaps Samuel can show her how to be Sámi instead?

Long Live the Evolution
Sarah Sheppard
4,6 billion years ago, a cloud of gas, ice, and space dust began to spin at the edges of the Milky Way galaxy. That interstellar cloud became our Sun and eight planets. We live on the third planet from the sun!
In the beginning, there isn’t much life on planet Earth, but about 4 billion years ago a microscopic primordial cell appears. And pretty soon after that (3.5 billion years ago) a huge change happens: cyanobacteria appear and start producing oxygen and BAM! 1.5 billion years ago, the first multicellular organisms see the sun, and it’s on from there. Animals and plants evolve and die. And the amazing part is that evolution is still going on and will continue until the day the Earth burns up!
In this fantastic nonfiction book about evolution, Sarah Sheppard takes us through nearly 10 billion years of the Earth’s development. We get to learn about what it was like when the earth was created and how it will end in about 5 billion years with the new supercontinent Pangea Proxima. Long live evolution!
