Sturle Brustad

Longstalk city

Langstilkbyen

For ages 7–10 years.

Nils and Lingalina live in the Underbrush, in the shadow of enormous Longstalk City. They are best friends and they are about to compete for the title Water Child of the Year. Nils is apprehensive: Lingalina is probably the best swimmer, but what will happen if she wins? Will he ever see her again?

An exciting fantasy story about daring to do what you believe is right for those you care about – and how difficult it can be when everybody else thinks it’s the wrong thing.
