firSt pubLiShed: 2013genre: young aduLt
This novel is a typical Jostein Gaarder novel with a crafty build-up of events that piques the reader’s attention. It is a story of how our planet will be destroyed if we do not recognize our responsibility as citizens of the world.
We meet young Anna today and her grand-daughter Nova in 2082.Anna has always had a vivid fantasy, but her dreams and visions seem to come to her from another reality, or perhaps from a different time? In Anna’s dreams she is her own granddaughter, Nova.
In the year 2082, Earth has lost much of its glamour. The ocean has risen, major ecosystems are destroyed, and thousands of plant and animal species are gone. Is there anything Anna and Nova can do to save the world?
Questions Asked (2012) is a picture book with fundamental philosophical questions, posed in a way only Jostein Gaarder is capable of. The illustrator, Akin Duzakin, has made an independent and beautiful picture narrative that underscores the existential aspect of Gaarder’s philosophical questions.
“A very important book.”

Due to an explosion, a group of teenagers are trapped in the tunnel between two subway stations. Suddenly the two girls and three boys have to relate to one another - as well as the wounded and dead co-passengers - in a whole new way. They have to try to escape the caved-in tunnel, but are they walking towards life or death? They find themselves in a sort of purgatory unbound by laws of nature, and time is of the essence. They all have their own stories and conflicts, and the drama they are now part of, along with the relationships that emerge, brings new light to their lives.This is a powerful tale of staring death and terror directly in the face.

From one day to the next, everything changes. The sunstorm hits. No texting. No Facebook. No hot showers. Forget cinema, pizza, car trips, shopping, hairdryers, school, sports events, TV – everything you took for granted and used to fill your life with.
Hospitals, prisons and other institutions break down. Mobile phones, broadcasting and all forms of GPS navigation go black. But love doesn’t die, even though this autumn will be icy cold and dark. Hostility, desperation and terror won’t die either. Fifteen year old Maja has to face the fact that life will never be like it used to be.
The Sunstorm trilogy is completed, and consists of the following books: Sky Veil, Night of the New Moon and Dawn.

In Dirty Snow and From Oslo to Lahore we meet four girlfriends who are stuck between two cultures, Norwegian and Pakistani. In the first book the girls get dragged into a nightmarish situation. One of the girls is tricked, raped and threatened with death if she reveals the truth. The girls understand that something must be done, especially since one of the other girls has been abused by the same boy.
The second book is a freestanding sequel to Dirty Snow. One of the four girls, Ambar, is happily married to her Omar in Lahore in Pakistan. But while the happy couple is on holiday in Dubai, Omar is brutally attacked and killed. At first Ambar is suspected of being behind the attack, but the police eventually realise that something else must have happened. Is it a petty robbery, or is there something bigger behind this? What has Omar really been up to?
The third book about the Norwegian-Pakistani girlfriends is expected out in spring 2015.
“How often do you read a book that is tender, tough and exciting in which girls
are the heroes? In ‘Dirty Snow’ you get all that and then some.”
