Edvin Ramm Goes Underwater

Edvin is looking forward to a diving holiday in Gran Canaria with his mom. But one day, he finds her lifeless on the kitchen floor—and his world is turned upside down.

Forget Gran Canaria and diving for octopuses. Forget swimming and goofing around with the weird, cool girl who burps people in the face. From now on, Edvin has to take care of his mom 24/7—or he’ll end up with Grandmad - the worst Grandma ever!

But you're not really lonely if it's your own choice. Or... are you?

Author Endre Lund Eriksen blends humor and seriousness in his signature style from the classic Pitbull-Terje Runs Amok, in a story brimming with storytelling joy. Bård Sletvold Torkildsen’s delightful illustrations burst with energy.

The books combines topics like dealing with a parent with illness (in this case epilepsy), loneliness and first love in a fun and original way.

"Edvin Ramm Goes Underwater" is a charming story about an anxious young boy who takes on more responsibility for his mother than he should.
(...) "is worth reading because it's exciting, funny, and relevant. I hope—and believe—that today's young readers will truly appreciate it."
