Mattis and his family have got themselves a troll.
Before you panic, here’s what you need to know: trolls don’t talk – they grunt and point. They eat grey stones. And swimming is probably not their thing.
Nine-year-old Mattis Lindkvist returns from a summer road trip with an unexpected passenger in the car boot: a small troll called Leo. Suddenly, everyday life comes with new challenges – and new rules. When a group of daring teenagers who dive from the ten-metre tower take an interest in Leo, Mattis sees his chance to make new friends. Pretending Leo is a “diving troll” feels like a good idea at the time. The problem is that no one knows if trolls can swim.
Never, Ever Take a Troll to a Diving Tower is the first book in a humorous, fully illustrated series for children aged 6–9 about friendship, loyalty and the difficult choices that come with wanting to belong. Illustrated by Kristoffer Kjølberg, the books combine warmth, suspense and visual comedy.
