Captions Right now in Sweden is 'läslov' – a reading holiday! 📚 Children across the country are off school this week, but are encouraged to read books on their own. 👦 👧
Looking for a good children’s book? Then try one of these three Swedish tips, aimed at 9-year-olds and above:
📕 'The Legend of Sally Jones' (2008) by Jakob Wegelius This is the story of a gorilla like no other – with a fantastic voyage across the world, a puzzling murder case, and a few other heinous crimes. But there's also friendship, hope and forgiveness.
📕 'The Engelsfors Trilogy' (2011–2015) by Sara B Elfgren and Mats Strandberg In industrial town Engelsfors, six girls in high school with seemingly nothing in common discover they are all witches – chosen to stop the apocalypse.
📕 'King Bro!' (2016) by Jenny Jägerfeld The sensitive 11-year-old Marcus befriends bad boy Mikkel via a skateboarding challenge, and the summer that follows is the most fun Marcus has ever had. But what happens when you keep a big secret from a friend?
Any titles you'd like to add to the list? 🗒️ ✍️
