Snow White Trilogyby Salla Simukka

The books in the Snow White trilogy are not children’s detective stories. Instead, they are thrillers for 15+ teenagers and young adults – thrillers with an edge, and thrillers where not everyone lives happily ever after.

Lumikki Andersson, the main character in Snow White Trilogy, is a 17-year-old girl, who has learned to defend herself and to trust no one. She is a lonely wolf and a lonesome survivor. She was bullied at school, but she has now moved to Tampere and lives by herself. Lumikki is witty, sarcastic, a bit tough and enjoys solitude. She has decided that she doesn’t want to be afraid anymore in her life. Her hobbies are bodycombat, ice swimming, running and going to art galleries. She doesn’t want to get involved with things that are none of her business, but when she finds moneys stained with blood in school’s darkroom, she finds herself drawn to a dangerous chain of events.

Book 1: As Red as Blood (Spring 2013)17-year-old Lumikki Andersson lives by herself in Tampere and goes to a high school of performing arts. She stumbles upon a money laundering operation in her school’s darkroom and is swept into a whirlpool of unpredictable events. It’s the coldest winter in decades; the streets of Tampere are frozen and white with snow. And nothing is as red against white snow as blood.

Book 2: As White as Snow (Fall 2013)Lumikki is backpacking in Prague, where the weather is scorching hot. A girl approaches her in a small café and claims to be her half sister. The girl manages to persuade Lumikki to join a religious cult, but when it turns out that the cult leaders are planning mass suicide, Lumikki has to run for her life. The religion of the cult is not pure; and innocence is not as white as snow.

Book 3: As Black as Ebony (Spring 2014)Lumikki is set to play the leading role in a modern-day version of Snow White. As the opening night approaches, Lumikki starts receiving notes from a stalker who seems to hold the answers to some dark secrets from Lumikki’s past. With the opening night just around the corner, Lumikki has to find a way to outwit the stalker whose soul is as black as ebony.

Snow White Trilogy – YA thrillers with attitude

Like Lisbeth Salander for the YA!

Without a Trace | Jäljellä | Tammi, Spring 2012 | 221 pp.Elsewhere | Toisaalla | Tammi, Fall 2012 | 230 pp.READING MATERIALS: SAMPLE TRANSLATION: English, Polish SYNOPSIS: English

Without a TraceHave you ever wished that everyone else in the world would just disappear? You’d better watch out what you wish for.

Emmi Aalto is a 15-year-old girl who feels like she doesn’t have anything. She hasn’t figured out what she’s good at in school yet. Her family doesn’t seem to pay any attention to her at home. And she has never had any friends. Emmi decides to run away. But when she comes back home, there’s no one there. Or next door. Or in the entire town. Everyone has disappeared – or have they?

In January 2013, Salla Simukka received the Topelius Prize for her novels Without a Trace and Elsewhere.

Elsewhere Will you save the one you love or love the one you save?

Eighteen-year-old Samuel is the stereotypical nerd. His nights are spent playing on the computer and his days in bed. Now that he has finished school, Samuel is in danger of completely losing touch with society. But then he is invited to join a secret project that pays shockingly well. Samuel is caught up in the construction of a virtual world that is full of surprises. However, the biggest surprise for him is that he falls in love. Everything else loses its meaning when Samuel decides to save Emmi, the girl of his dreams.

Winner of the Topelius Prize

Big Otto and Middle Otto do not recognise Little Otto sitting in the pram in a lace bonnet. When Middle Otto and Big Otto’s backs are turned, Little Otto leaps out of the pram and hides.

ja lumimies

Siiri on saanut uudet sukset ja hän pyytää pikku-Ottoa mukaansa

hiihtämään. Pikku-Otto haluaa kuitenkin laskea mäkeä keski-

Oton ja iso-Oton kanssa. Siiriä harmittaa ja hän väittää nähneensä

metsässä oikean lumimiehen. Otot eivät sitä usko, ja Siiri päättääkin

mennä yksin hiihtoretkelle. Kun häntä ei kuulu takaisin, pikku-

Otto huolestuu ja lähtee etsimään. Metsässä hän säikähtää

nähdessään hangessa suuria jalanjälkiä ja hylätyt sukset.

Rakastetut Kattilakosken siskokset tekevät uuden tulemisen kuva-kirjana, jonka humoristisista kuvista vastaa Salla Savolainen.

Vilttitossu suuttuu Heinähatulle, koska isosisko väittää hänen ol-leen vauvana kalju. Minä kostan tämän sille lettipäälle, Vilttitossu päättää. Seuraavana yönä Heinähattu menettää lettinsä, ja pikku-sisko väittää erään jyrsijän napsaisseen ne poikki. Siitäkös Heinä-hattu suuttuu!

Vilttitossu saa vakuutettua konstaapeli Isonavalle, että joku kalju-päinen henkilö on leikannut Heinähatun letit. Sen täytyy olla se kuuluisa varas, Kalju-Koponen, Isonapa päättelee oitis.

Nauruhermoja kutkuttavaan tarinaan mahtuu myös kakkukestejä Alibullenin neitien kanssa, hullunkurisia väärinkäsityksiä sekä to-dellista sisarusrakkautta.

After school, Aidan and Sofia go to Aidan’s home and travel across the ocean.

Fresh and cheerfully illustrated story of courage, friendship and overcoming fears. “Go out and play, Mark!” It was easy for Dad to say, he is a big and strong police car…

Mark is a little blue boy car, who is fed up with having to go out to play. There is big Jake, who teases Mark, as Mark does not know how to say the letter R. One day Mark meets another little car, a girl called Lisa. Mark and Lisa have a lot in common – and, together, they soon realize that the most important thing is to be nice to others. Because no one wants to be friends with a loutish bully!

Beany the Tortoise becomes a keen gardener.

Beany plants a seed. The seed sprouts and an enormous, yellow flower opens out at the end of the stem. Birds eat seeds from the flower and little Beany makes a salad from the green leaves of the stem. It is autumn and the petals fall off. The bird consoles him, “The seed will grow into a new flower in the spring.” Beany is happy again. The cycle of the seasons continues.

Author Tapani Bagge has written over twenty children’s and teenage

Maalla, was nominated for the Finlandia Junior Prize in 2010.

The Dictator

A truly revolutionary picture book.

Dictators are people who only want to write “I, I, I”, who think it’s hard work always having to make sure that the sun rises and the moon sets. Dictators must not be kissed.

The Dictator tells the story of a little tyrant who thinks he can rule the world, but soon finds out that the world is a lonely place for dictators.
