Some grown-up has painted a thick red line on the ground at the edge of the courtyard where Nono lives. That’s the boundary. Beyond it is forbidden territory. Most children stay within the boundary and don’t seem to mind, but Nono gets the shivers when she thinks of the boundary. What does ‘forbidden’ actually mean? Is it the same as dangerous? And does it count if you go over it just a little bit? The Boundary is about the limits set by adults and children’s curiosity, about the exciting feeling of overstepping the mark, but also about the importance of knowing that safety awaits back home – all portrayed with Maria Nilsson Thores’ characteristic warm humour, philosophical ingenuity and atmospheric setting.

VIPS:

Meet Vips the shrew; a happy and inquisitive little creature that loves being in the woods and exploring the countryside. Autumn winds blow and the little shrew Vips searches for his hat that has blown away. The search takes him behind the stones on the edge of the wood. It is still and calm behind the stones and he sits there for a while enjoying the warmth of the sun. Suddenly there is a rustle. Something that moves very fast – it’s a lizard! It turns out to be Vips’ good friend who also likes to run about, and play hide and seek. But before Vips knows what’s happening, his pal ends up in real trouble… In vibrant watercolour pictures, Oskar Jonsson creates a wonderful world that inspires you to dive right in; a world in which the friendly and adventurous Vips teaches us how wonderful it is to just sit down and look around you. But of course, Vips never stays put for that long... The book ends with facts about lizards. This is the fourth standa lone book about Vips.

What has happened to Little Brother’s beloved granny? And what will happen to him while searching for her in the hotel rooms with all their strange overnight occupants?

Tora and Tytte on Planting Day Tora and Tytte are two wonderful friends who are completely different. Tora is really big and Tytte is teeny tiny. In this first book in the series, we follow Tora and Tytte on their gardening mission as they prepare for the first day of planting. As Tora is the big and strong one, she’s also the one doing most of the work. And while Tora is hard at work carrying pots, bulbs and plants, Tytte struts around playing, looking at the big pots and messing with everything she can find… Finally, there’s only one bulb left for Tora to plant – and down in the soil it goes! But what Tora doesn’t realise, is that what she planted in the pot was NOT in fact a bulb but poor little Tytte… Beautifully illustrated and humorously narrated, Tora and Tytte on Planting Day is yet another mesmerising picture book by Lotta Geffenblad about the wonders and joys of a quirky friendship.

Monsters and Ghosts Have an Adventure Follow an extraordinary picture book adventure where each page is like a world of its own. Ebba and August and their crazy ghost and monster friends leave their safe nooks and crannies in the manor house. They are going on a journey to the other side of the water to attend Monster Aunt Majsan’s party. During the hair-raising trip, everyone, even ghosts and monsters, have to be brave. On their journey, the friends pass by Snilla’s workshop and Bea’s knick-knack store, and then they take a boat across the water and have to make an emergency landing in the mysterious woods. They even get on a bus with the strangest characters you have ever seen. However, there is a reward at the end of the journey – Majsan’s delicious monster cake! There are a lot of details to discover in Alexander Jansson’s picture world, some of which fire up the imagination and others that are atmospheric, humorous and full of fun.

I Am the Troll On her way to nursery a little girl is suddenly transformed into a big troll. And just like that, the former child scares away her parents, gobbles up her nursery friends and goes to live in the forest. There she can do whatever she wants, like running around naked and squealing like a pig in the forest. But sometimes she remembers her old life, when she used to ride a bike, eat sweets and play with Lego. One day a wizard comes along and asks if the troll wants to be a little girl again. Well, does she? Author Jenny Bergman collaborates with artist and animator Lotta Geffenblad to produce this thought-provoking text with beautiful watercolours. With humour and a touch of sadness too, this story is about what it is like to be little but also very big at the same time.

Easy-to-read for all animal lovers! Svea knows all about animals so it’s rather ironic that she is the only one in the gang who does NOT have a pet. Her parents always say no even though she has asked for a pet for every birthday for as long as she can remember. But one day she hears her parents talking about some creatures that have appeared in the bathroom – silverfish! Svea thinks they sound magical and fantasises about them swimming in the bathtub at night with their beautiful silver fins. Maybe this year’s birthday will be different after all? The Team Animal series is about pets and friends – perfect for children who like new words and lots of illustrations. The lovely pictures by Ingrid Flygare accompany the reading experience beautifully and convey the fascination in and love of animals.

Molly the Shetland pony is Ebba’s best friend. Molly lives in an old stable not far from Ebba’s home. Ebba has to bicycle there every day whatever the weather, to muck out, groom and feed Molly. It’s hard work but most of the time Ebba thinks it’s fun. But not today! ‘Molly is actually my horse,’ her big sister reminds her at breakfast. Ebba is furious. It’s so unfair. If Molly isn’t Ebba’s then why not skip going to the stable and play with her friends instead? At first Ebba enjoys herself and the freedom but then she thinks of Molly. She must surely be lonely and hungry in the paddock. The first part in this easy-to-read series about Molly tells us what it’s like to live in the country and actually have a horse: it’s muddy and hard work, but most of all, it’s completely and utterly wonderful! The books about Molly are perfect for children who are learning to read and who love books with lots of pictures and a little more text.

THE GOLDEN PIGTAIL HOTEL:

An easy-to-read adventure for beginner readers! The children at the School of Knights are at the village market. There they come upon some pranksters, one of whom has a real live bear in a big cage. But animals should not be in cages, they think. And doesn’t the bear look rather nice? Urban, Egon and Fiona decide to try to let the bear go free at night when everyone is asleep. But it does not go quite as they expected it to… This is the 17th standalone book in the exciting series The School for Knights, for girls and boys who have just begun to read for themselves.

A humorous series for all ages about the quirky Rantanen family who run a hotel in the countryside. The old stove in the hotel kitchen has broken down and Dad Roger and Mum Ritva can’t afford to buy a new one. As usual it’s a crisis but thanks to Isadora’s school project about the Middle Ages, Roger has a brilliant idea as to how to solve things. The h otel is as old as the hills and was probably once full of knights and treasures. Imagine if it could be like that again. This is the 28th book in The Golden Pigtail Hotel series.

As a fully-fledged agent, Nelly Rapp can survive the whole world of ghosts and monsters by using the three ‘Cs’: calm, cleverness and cunning. In the first book, The Monster Academy, Nelly needs to prove her worth as an agent and embarks on a spine-tingling adventure fighting a blood-thirsty vampire. The Nelly Rapp books have become a major national and international success, selling a million copies worldwide, and have also been adapted into a film.

The Sorceress NELLY RAPP:

When postmen and policemen start disappearing without a trace, the monster agents Nelly Rapp and Valle are called in to solve the mystery. In this new adventure, their skills are really put to the test. But as usual they succeed with the help of the three ‘Cs’ – calm, cleverness and cunning – to work out why people, ever since the middle of the 1800s, have disappeared without a trace when they visited the creaky old house in the woods (and why so much furniture has been collected there over the years…). Nelly Rapp and The Sorceress is the 21st standalone book in the series about Nelly Rapp and the second book with fantastic illustrations by Emil Maxén.

An extra crazy and enjoyable Christmas celebration takes place in Martin Widmark’s story about the loopy upside-down Jansson family where anything can happen. Christmas approaches and at the Jansson family’s house, preparations are in full swing. But it’s not so easy for Kajsa and Alvin to keep track of their teasing, mischievous parents. Does that sound odd? Not at all, because this is a hilarious, bizarre story about reversed roles. The children Kajsa and Alvin take on the responsibilities of parents while their mother and father shake off theirs. Now it is the parents who chop down the family Christmas tree in the park, wish for a snow-blower and a TV for Christmas and share Christmas activities with their neighbours who are in exactly the same family situation. And when great-great-grandpa, the general, is to be Father Christmas on Christmas Eve, well… almost everything goes wrong.

The Wound SAGA’S STORIES:

Reading practice for beginners, with Saga Louisa Larsson on Sunflower Way! In the Read It Together series you will find the best of both worlds. Adults and children take turns to read, the adult reads the main part of the text in lower case letters and the child gets to read separate and easy-to-read sentences in BLOCK CAPITALS. That way the content is exciting and fun for the new reader, but the text remains simple and suited to the child’s reading ability. This is a series that fills the gap between read-aloud books and read-it-yourself books. This story is about a day Saga spends at her grandpa’s house helping him with activities around the farm where he lives. She gets to saw planks, drive the tractor, and feed the sheep. But suddenly there is an accident… Saga’s Stories are generously illustrated read-aloud books that describe little and big moments in Saga’s everyday life. Emma Göthner’s wonderful and colourful illustrations help to describe, relate and supplement the text in a clear and sensitive manner. There is also a section with the alphabet and two fact sheets about different kinds of wounds.

Dinosaurs Everywhere Welcome to the end of the Cretaceous period. A wonderful age if you are a dinosaur, not so wonderful if you are a mammal. Mammals during this period are small, dinosaurs are gigantic, and they are everywhere. They occupy vast areas of the Earth, eat all the food and their deadly dung piles are huge. In Dinosaurs Everywhere we follow the mammal Zalambdalestes, a small rat-like animal that lived at the same time as the dinosaurs, and courageously tried to survive each day without being eaten or trampled on. What will happen, will the creature survive? Yes, it will. After the age of dinosaurs, the age of mammals begins with mammoths, sabre-toothed tigers and eventually humans. Thank you rats! Sarah Sheppard’s fact books are in a class of their own. With sound research and finely-tuned humour, her entertaining and exciting books have been loved by tens of thousands of readers of all ages and in many countries. From dinosaurs and important maps to sharks and adventurous journeys, time and again she has taken us on adventures around the world.

Ola Lindholm and Johan Lindqvist have written stories based on what they liked to read when they were growing up. The adventures of King Pow are entertaining, fast-paced and action- packed books.
