The Troll Who Was Afraid of the Dark (Paperback)

Little Bo is afraid of the dark. When the other troll children run out into the night to play, he doesn’t dare to follow them. One day at sunrise his best friend Glowy doesn’t return to the cave. If trolls are outside when the sun shines they turn into stone! But even though the sun is about to rise above the distant mountains, Bo runs out to rescue his friend. . . .

From an early age he was very creative, making his own games and books. As a young boy, he lived for two years in Denmark before returning to Iceland and settling in Reykjavik. He started writing children’s books about sharks and a powerful pizzaman for his younger brother. As a teenager he wrote poems, and when he started travelling around the world he kept a blog. In 2006 he published a travel journal about his trip to South America. Since then, he has written and translated more than 200 books, mostly for children and teenagers. He has also written a successful series of light-reading books. Every year, some of his books are reprinted to meet demand, and several have grown wings and flown abroad to new markets.
