Bak Dødsfjellet

Spøkelsene på Frostøy #1

by Hilde Hagerup

En dag oppdager Jens en forferdelig hemmelighet. Det var ikke bare faren hans som døde i den bilulykken for ti år siden. Den eksentriske moren hans er faktisk et spøkelse. Men hun er alt han har. Eller er hun det? Andre mer skremmende spøkelser kommer ut av skogen og kaller på ham. Hva vil de ham? Er det sant at Jens' bestemor er spøkelsesdronning på Frostøy? Er hun god eller ond? Og om Jens følger henne, vil han da få møte faren sin? "Bak Dødsfjellet" er første bok i serien "Spøkelsene på Frostøy" og viser en helt ny side ved Hilde Hagerups forfatterskap.

Reviews

[Marie the Librarian · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a surprising thriller for kids, its just scary enough but also some plot twists and surprises!

[Marie Alming · Rating 2 out of 5]

Jeg tror denne boka kan passe godt for unge lesere som liker spenning og spøkelser, men jeg syns layouten på skriften var utrolig forstyrrende (hvorfor så mye luft?) og det ble slitsomt i lengden når hvert kapittel skulle ende med cliff hanger.

En bok jeg leste i sjette klasse. Jeg husket den godt for den mørke atmosfæren og interessante historien. Det kan godt hende at jeg gir boka tre stjerner fordi jeg hørte på lydboken denne gangen, og var ikke veldig begeistret over leseren, men jeg må satse på at jeg har bare blitt eldre. Fin skrekkbok for barn uansett.

will review after some distance. But let's just say I'm happy I was able to finish it at all. The begining was promising, but then it went downhill from there. children/teens might enjoy it tho.
