Svein and His Rat Goes for Gold
Nicolaysen, Marit: Svein og rotta går for gullThere is going to be a pet display in town, and Svein and his friend Dan decide to sign up with their rats Mr. Smith and James Bond. Melissa and her rat Pippi also take part in the show, and they compete in different categories: obedience, speed, company and standard. However, unforeseen things are happening - not least because the show also includes cats...
Praise for Svein and His Rat Go for Gold:
"Forceful, fast-paced and, quite simply, unbelievably funny... The portrayal of Svein is sterling... the child’s voice in the book is consistently good and believable"
(Vårt Land)
"Wicked! [...] with speed and nerve, with a lively dialogue and playful language Marit Nicolaysen has made the fifth book about Svein and his rat Mr. Smith a textbook example of pure joy of reading... Nicolaysen, too, goes for gold, and secures it through rough humour and exceptionally cheerful, vivid and realistic descriptions of Svein’s school and family life, which will make young and old alike nod in recognition. Per Dybvig’s illustrations fit like a glove, just as sparkling as the text itself"
