The Fox and the Mole –A Ghost Story

How different can two friends be? Get whisked away by the magic of an unlikely friendship in this enchanting picture book with a gothic atmosphere.

“All the way out on a headland, tucked between the heath and the sea, stood a solitary little house...” began the fox.

“Ugh, how scary,” said the mole.

“But I’ve barely started reading,” said the fox. “And try not to chew so loudly, would you?”

Brace yourself for a tale of grudges, near-sightedness, and a disastrous encounter with some marmalade. Yet this delightfully spooky picture book is also a story of how our own quirks can cause trouble for both us and others – and how reading a book together makes everything better.

Addi’s Afro

Addi’s grandpa is a master at knitting hats! Every winter, he knits a whole bunch of new ones in every colour and shape you can imagine. But Addi already has at least a hundred and, besides, he HATES wearing them! “They itch and ruin my hair!” Addi screams, running hatless out the door with his snow racer.

On his way to go sledging, Addi meets lots of animals – a fox, an owl, a beaver, an ermine, and a moose. They all ask why he isn’t wearing a hat like the other kids. Over and over again, Addi has to explain that his ears don’t get cold as his hair keeps them warm. But that’s when the animals jump straight into his hair! It’s crowded and chaotic as they all try to fit, and soon Addi is fed up. He shakes off the freeloaders, sending them tumbling into the snow. When the whole heap of them howl that they are cold, Addi has a brilliant idea. Maybe Grandpa’s knitted hats could save the day after all?

Jali Madi Susso has written several acclaimed picture books in collaboration with Eva Susso and is the author of a series of chapter books. He writes with musicality and a warm sense of humour, often about the multicultural experience.

Felicia Fortes is an illustrator, artist, and graphic designer based in Gothenburg. She illustrates for magazines and daily newspapers, and designs books and informational materials. Addi’s Afro marks her debut as a children’s book illustrator.

On a rainy and gloomy winter’s day, Lill discovers a beautiful glass ball in the attic. Inside is a snowy winter landscape. “It must be a wishing ball,” says Lugo – and Lill gets to make a wish.

Lugo is right. The next day, snow is falling around their house. Everything is magical!

It’s difficult to think in the heat, and the bugs are bothering him. Not even little Lummer can comfort him, and Dim hisses at his friend to leave him alone. Dim leaves Lummer behind and sets off in search of a place where he can find peace and quiet. But everywhere he goes, he hears the same buzzing and rustling. Are there no tranquil thinking spots where poor Dim can catch his breath?

A tale about needing a calm place for one’s thoughts – and the importance of sharing them with someone. How Is Dim Feeling? is the sequel to the much beloved Who Sees Dim?

9–12 Years & Non-Fiction

The Gates of Hell

SILVER & STEEL:

“I promised my mum I would never talk to anyone from the police or social services. I can’t even go see the school counsellor. No one can suspect who Mum really is – that we come from a magical world where ordinary rules don’t apply.”

Lilly’s mum is not just anybody. She is a witch. So what should Lilly do when her mum suddenly disappears? The only one who understands is her strange neighbour Vincent, because his mother is gone too.

In Johanna Strömqvist’s fast-paced, exciting urban-fantasy story The Gates of Hell, we follow Lilly and Vincent’s journey through industrial parks, suburban concrete jungles, and island forests in a wintry Stockholm populated by supernatural creatures.

Along the way, they must escape evil forces and find out what’s really going on in the magical dimension of the urban world. Demons, shadow creatures, and tentacle monsters loom as Lilly and Vincent fight to save their mums and escape the enemy. But who is the enemy that wants to capture them and their mums?

Author Johanna Strömqvist is an editor at a children’s publisher and an author who has, among others, written the series In the Monster Kingdom. She lives in Stockholm with her family and likes reading thick books and listening to rock music and often gets inspiration from the TV-series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

“ He just points. At first, I can’t see anything other than illuminated signs showing emergency exits, rocky walls and the track rushing past. The next moment something flaps past us. Then I hear whispering, hissing voices.”

The Witch’s Hammer

SILVER & STEEL:

“The shadow grows, the mirror trembles as it takes shape. And then, there he is. His face is right behind mine. The tattered cloak flutters. He smiles.”

Lilly’s magical powers have awakened – much too soon – which is both unsettling and dangerous. Meanwhile, a mysterious foe seeks to annihilate witches with fire and water. And who is the creepy spectre emerging from mirrors to harm them?

When Lilly and Vincent’s mothers get caught and are forced to wear electronic trackers, the children must once again confront formidable threats and powerful enemies ...

Join them on a dark adventure in Stockholm, where witchcraft and magic lurk around every corner, in the second standalone book in the Silver & Steel series.

“ I looked straight into the eyes of the demon ruler that time. His icy gaze met mine, and I was so close to taking his hand and stepping into the demon’s world. I still have nightmares about it. Is that why I thought I saw something in the bathroom mirror this morning? Like a remnant of a nightmare?”

XO, Polly Storm

“Every life has a beginning and an end. Yours began three days ago. I thought Grandma’s idea of writing a book was a good one. So, this story is for you – if you promise not to die.”

On Christmas Eve, 11-year-old (soon to be 12) Polly Storm becomes a big sister, but the presents under the tree will have to wait as her little brother has to stay at the hospital. Polly gets to move in with Grandma for a while. None of the fun things they usually do make any difference now. The wait turns Polly’s anxious thoughts into a tangled mess.

“Why don’t you write a book!” says Grandma – a book for her little brother. For there are things that Polly’s baby brother needs to know about life at No. 3 Broom Hill. Lots of things, big and small. So while Grandma lights a cigar on the balcony, Polly writes to her little brother about Edwin and the party where everything went wrong, about Isabella in her class, about the disco at the ice rink, and about text messages that never arrive.

With warm-hearted curiosity and subtle humour, Anna Ehring takes us into the world of eleven-year-old Polly during a few snowcold days in December when life is upended, and Christmas is put on hold.

Ehring is known for her unique ability to portray the extra ordi nary drama of everyday life. With books like The Dragonheart series about Nisse Berg in Bagarmossen, Mira and Martin, and the books about Herring (illustrated by Moa Graaf), she has won the hearts of readers and critics alike, establishing herself as one of our foremost authors of relationship dramas for young readers.
