TROLLHEIM consistently ranks on Norway's bestseller lists. In 2024, Arne Lindmo was one of the best-selling authors in Norway across all book genres. The story has universal appeal, can be enjoyed anywhere, and possesses excellent cinematic qualities
TROLLHEIM – The Journey to Atlantis is the seventh book in the series and the blurb goes like this:
There is a place in the Atlantic Ocean that no one dares to cross. Sailors speak of a terrifying monster with long tentacles, and more ships have disappeared there than in the Bermuda Triangle. Deep down lies the ruins of an 8,000-year-old secret. A lost kingdom that was destroyed and sank to the bottom of the sea.
Tobias loves the myth of Atlantis. When he discovers that a mysterious portal leads there, he has to take a look. Soon he, Adam, Tara, and Zira are off on a new adventure. But the portal is a one-way ticket, and trapped at the bottom of the sea, cold and wet, they must find a way home.
The Journey to Atlantis was absolutely fantastic. Just as good as Harry Potter!

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.
