TROLLHEIM - THE CURSE IN TROLL FOREST is the sixth book in the series and the blurb goes like this:
Tara's parents want to buy a new cabin, but it's suspiciously cheap. Tara volunteers to test the cabin for a week. She looks forward to starting her summer vacation with a cozy cabin trip with all her friends. She's especially excited to spend time with Tobias. But the cabin hides a gruesome secret—a curse. And deep inside Troll Forest, miles from the nearest neighbor and without phone coverage, the group of friends begins to realize that something is terribly wrong...

The book was absolutely fantastic. Everyone in the whole world should have the opportunity to read THE CURSE IN TROLL FOREST!
I have read all the TROLLHEIM books, but I can't choose a favorite because ALL of them are so good!
The story sticks in your mind, and you keep thinking about it afterward.
I like that the book has a lot of humor and that sometimes you get chills from what you read.

Author ARNE LINDMO was born in Norway in 1981. He worked for 10 years as a middle-grade teacher before he made his debut as an author. While teaching, he would think up a beginning and an end for a story every day that he could tell the students if there was time during the school day - and there often was! The children loved Arne's stories! So, as you understand, he knows his readers well, and now that he is a well-established, bestselling, and award-winning author in Norway, he travels around the country still meeting middle-grade students who now love his books.
Illustrator IDA SKJELBAKKEN was born in Norway in 1979. Her illustrations in the TROLLHEIM series have been very important for the fantastic reception and enormous success the books have achieved in Norway. The children say that they love her style. They think it's cool, realistic, and mature. Not visually childish like many of the other books they read, they say.
