TROLLHEIM – Avenger from Helheim

Adam, Tara and Tobias have pledged to protect Trollheim from the evil lurking beneath the surface. They soon face a challenge that will not only test their courage and strength, but also their friendship. Mysterious tracks in the woods and strange howls at the moon are ominous enough, but little do they know the greatest danger is one they can neither see nor hear.

The winner of the ARK children's book prize is chosen by the most honest readers! The jury consists of over 10,000 fifth, sixth and seventh graders who nominate the year's best children's book! In 2022, TROLLHEIM - Secret of Castle Crow was named the very best book of the year! This is the first book in the series.

The Trollheim books are illustrated and entertaining, with lots of action, thrilling tension, love and warmth. Our goal is for the series to have the same place in children's hearts today as The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew had in ours when we were children. − Author Arne Lindmo, illustrator Ida Skjelbakken and publisher Anitra Figenschou
