As genres go, political satire in translation has not been a big seller in the UK children’s market. One book might change that. ‘The Disappearing Children’ by former footballer Lars Joachim Grimstad, a friend of Jo Nesbo’s, is a pacy, oddly cheerful thriller that doesn’t feel subtitled or dutiful. […] I know one 10-year-old who couldn’t put it down.
Kitty Empire, The Observer

… a very funny story about power, madness, belonging and freedom.

NOMINATED TO THE ARK CHILDREN’S BOOK PRIZE 2013

This is not the story about Teddy Popps, the taxi driver who decides to become Norway’s new prime minister because he thinks there are far too many holes in the road and far too few potato chips in the potato chips bags. This is the story about his son, Finn, and the children who disappear.

When Teddy becomes Prime Minister, Finn’s life is turned upside down. And when he finally has moved into the Prime Minister’s Residence, started going to a new school, been given a new brother with a speech impediment (Kimmelim, a present from the dictator of North Boresia) and gained a new friend (Sunniva, a merciless dodgeballer), mysterious and unpleasant things start to happen.

Prime Minister Father & Son – The Children Who Disappeared is a funny, exciting and hilarious story that no one really can relate to (unless your father is a former taxi driver who becomes Prime Minister).
