Svein and His Rat and the World Championship

Two years in a row Svein and his family have stayed at home during their Easter holidays. Now they decide to spend this year’s Easter where people really know how to celebrate it. They go to the Easter festival in Kautokeino, all the way up north where the Sami people live. There they experience all kinds of exotic things – the reindeers, the lassoing, the snow scooters and the colourful clothes of the Sami. But the coolest thing of all is that Svein meets a very vigorous girl who saves the hooded rat Halvorsen out of the perhaps most dramatic situation he’s ever been in. And Halvorsen sure knows how to repay her.

Svein and his rat and the World Championship is the thirteenth book in this very popular, prize-winning series, which have now sold over 300.000 copies.
