The Journey to the Valley of the Trolls

Sonja, a Viking girl, is mysteriously visited one night by a boy who feels oddly familiar. He comes from a magical realm and invites her through a portal into his world. Together, they travel on the
Northern Lights to a Norway unlike any you’ve ever seen – a land of wonder, adventure, and magic.

Sonja teams up with new friends Espen and Lotta for an epic, dangerous quest through the troll mountains. As they face giant trolls and uncover ancient secrets, they must rely on their courage and unexpected allies to survive. Will their combined strength be enough to save their world?

Reminiscent of Kazu Kibuishi’s Amulet series, Falch’s vibrant illustrations bring Norway’s stunning landscapes and mythical creatures to life, making each page a work of art. A must-read for fans of fantasy!

The Journey to the Valley of the Trolls is the first book in the Northern Lights series, Malin Falch’s debut series, for which she has won awards including The Pondus Price 2018 and the Ark Children Book 2018. This modern-day fairytale has captivated readers worldwide, selling over 300,000 copies in Norway. Planned to span ten books, the first seven are already out in Norway with the 8th chapter in the series coming 2026.
