Svein and His Rat Go Drag Racing
Nicolaysen, Marit: Svein og rotta på dragraceA new book about Svein and his pet rat! This time, Svein and his friend Dan are visiting Dans dad, whose new step daughter is a passionate drag racer. Dan is more than a little sceptical to the visit, as he is not the world's greatest fan of his father's new girlfriend or her daughter. Svein and Mr. Smith come with him to provide moral support - and things change dramatically once they get to know the world of drag racing, where everything is about huge, powerful cars, big motors, high speed, and a lot of noise. Then something happens, and once again, Mr. Smith and his friend James Bond save the day.
As usual, this book is wonderfully illustrated by Per Dybvig.
Praise for Svein and His Rat Go Drag Racing:
"a catchy book… The intensity is maintained at a suitable level, in a story which is not excessively advanced”
(VG)
“Action, feeling and comedy. Better and better, with more emotions…. It is skilfully done, and there are lines and whims that one cannot but revel in” (Adressa)
