Review:

A taxi driver who becomes Prime Minister, a robot with a speech impediment, children who are abducted by giant flies... Anything can happen...

--Dagbladet

The Disappearing Children is a real adventure book. It is insanely funny, thrilling without being frightening even though it does have some really mean villains with very dubious intentions...The book is well written while still being easy to read.

As genres go, political satire in translation has not been a big seller in the UK children's market. One book might change that. The Disappearing Children(Phoenix Yard �10.99) by former footballer Lars Joachim Grimstad, a friend of Jo Nesbo's, is a pacy, oddly cheerful thriller that doesn't feel subtitled or dutiful. Finn's dad a taxi driver has become PM of Norway, but that's not the strangest thing that's going on. Finn has suddenly acquired an adopted brother and his schoolmates are disappearing. With only a national quiz competition as a distraction, Finn and his friends turn detective and uncover a far-reaching conspiracy. I know one 10-year-old who couldn't put it down.
