Nothern Lights

It's Christmas Eve morning and the seven-year-old Sonja wakes up eager to check her advent calendar. There she finds a note from her uncle Henrik. The first riddle in a scavenger hunt which takes little Sonja through the house, into the garage, and into the forest to look for the nothern lights. In the snow, there's a surprise, but not what uncle Henrik placed there for her to find. Originally released in 2018 as a Julehefte (a comic booklet released around Christmas), but was later reprinted in hardback format in 2020.

The tale about Børnar is first and foremost about the fight to live freely in the woods. The Vikings are coming closer and are moving further into the vast woods of Jotundale, hunting down and killing animals as they go. Worried, the animals come together for a forest council. The elders believe it’s time to flee. But Espen – a well-known character from the Norlys-series – interrupts the meeting and advice the animals to think twice. He believes that the animals can speak because of the magic in Jotundale. And if they decide to leave, the gift of speech will be lost! The elders refuse to listen as they believe him to be a troll! So, all the animal-families are left to themselves to decide if they should leave or stay behind and hide from the Vikings. Won the Culture Department's Comic Award in 2019. Foreign Rights
