When you love to read!
Anna is nearly 10 years old and loves to read. She loves reading so much that one of her best friends is the librarian, Monsen. One day Monsen tells Anna what happens to the books no one wants to borrow from the library. The books disappear. The books are destroyed. But what happens to all those who live inside these books, Anna wonders? Do they disappear too? This is just too much to bear, Anna thinks. She has to save the books! But how?
A charming, poetic and magical story about the special love for all those who live inside the books, written by one of Norway’s most established and award winning authors, beautifully illustrated with Lisa Aisato’s magical and unique drawing style.
