One day when Arild comes home from school, the house is empty. He goes out into the streets, but it’s dead quiet everywhere. No-one to be seen; no sign of life. Except a weird, little yellow creature sitting on the kerb, throwing a dice and mumbling to himself. Arild doesn’t know yet, but this is the beginning of the strangest day of his life.

Praise for The Yellow Dwarves:

“There is something unmistakably Gaarderian about this easily read book … As usual the author makes the reader wonder … This odd little story leaves plenty of room for both wondering and figment of the mind. Can a dice have seven sides? Are you more likely to throw a seven if you throw a million times? If you use your head, nothing is impossible. Arild knows how.” Aftenposten
