TROLLHEIM: The Avenger from Helheim

By Ida Skjelbakken Arne Lindmo

Adam, Tara and Tobias have pledged to protect the village of Trollheim from the ancient evil forces they discovered in the first book. Soon they are thrown into a new adventure that will not only test their courage and strength, but also their friendship. 

Mysterious tracks in the woods and strange howls at the moon are ominous enough, but Adam, Tara and Tobias will soon realize that the greatest danger is something they can neither see nor hear. 

The Avenger from Helheim is the second book in a new exceptionally illustrated, page turning and award-winning middle grade series from Norway, Trollheim. It follows three children, Adam, Tara and Tobias, as they fight against creatures from the Norwegian myths and save the world from an ancient darkness. This action-filled series also highlights relatable subjects for young readers: new friendships, feeling like an outsider, falling in love, and having a difficult time at home.
