(2) 1-3 Translated by Guy Puzey. Illustrated by Kate Forrester. Narrator Trille's best friend is next-door neighbor Lena, almost nine, fearless, and hilariously blunt. Their small, contemporary Norwegian community provides all the adventure they need, from reenacting Noah's ark on Uncle Tor's fishing boat (mayhem ensues) to quieter adventures such as advertising for a dad for Lena. The novel is episodic but strongly plotted, with changes in the families' lives woven into Trille's small-scope story.
