The five Kindoms of Kin Isle have stood since the dawn of time. Each holds its own unique power, its own importance in the balance of our world. We all belong to one of these ancient Kindoms. When we turn ten, we Meet our Familiar, and our Familiar bears a Mark that reveals which Kindom we belong to, and we fit into our Kindom perfectly and feel wonderful and happy and good forever and ever and always. Unless you're me, that is. This is the historical record of how I, Glam, FINALLY met my Familiar, Beardy, and how we learned that NOTHING about our world is as it seems... (And that parkour and dandelions are ALWAYS the answer - Beardy said it was very important that I add that!)

Perfect for fans of LOKI, DIARY OF AN ACCIDENTAL WITCH and FROSTHEART.

After I (Beardy) and my best friend Glam were nearly blasted by someone from the (supposedly) destroyed Fire Kindom, we have questions. - Is Fire Kindom really still out there? What are they planning? Is it nice? - If I have Ice power, are we from the extinct and also evil Ice Kindom? - If we are from Ice Kindom, why don't I have an Ice Mark? And why haven't I been able to use my power again despite trying really really hard?? - Is there something wrong with me??!! This is the diary (or "historical record") of how Glam and I went on an adventure to the secret and deadly Fire Kindom, to stop their evils plans. (And to learn more about an ancient and intriguing civilization and the true history of our world - Glam's words, not mine!) Written as a shared diary (or historical record, depends who you ask!), GLAM AND BEARDY is packed with humour and adventure. Perfect for fans of LOKI, DIARY OF AN ACCIDENTAL WITCH and FROSTHEART.?

När Mio vägrar att läsa en saga för sin lillasyster händer det märkliga saker. Boken får plötsligt liv och Mio hamnar i sagan om Skönheten och Odjuret. Han försöker hitta en väg ut, men precis som Belle är han nu fånge hos Odjuret. Hur ska han komma hem igen? Och varför lyssnar inte Odjuret på vad Belle säger. Ett nej, är ju ett nej!När Mio kastas rakt in i sagan om Skönheten och Odjuret får han perspektiv på saker. Varför var han så dum och vägrade att läsa saga för sin lillasyster? Nu är det till exempel inte viktigt längre med dyra saker till Mios rum. Det viktiga är att Odjuret respekterar Belle, och att Mio får komma hem igen. Men hur?Nu introducerar Nypon förlag serieböcker som tar ett modernt och humoristiskt tag om några av historiens mest välkända sagor. Böckerna är enkel läsning för de yngre, och passar bra att använda i klassrummet som bredvidläsning, eller för att diskutera olika teman. I Skönheten säger nej, är det fokus på att respektera varandra, och att det faktiskt kan vara hur coolt som helst att vara snäll!Så här skriver BTJ om Skönheten säger nej:”… Boken är del av Nypons serie Moderna sagor med lättlästnivå 2. Den kan öppna dörren för vidare serieläsning och bli en bro till mer textrik läsning. Innehållet väcker frågor om att stå upp för sig själv, lyssna på andra och följa sina känslor. Och om pojkars och flickors förväntade roller. Här finns stoff att diskutera eller fartfylld läsning från pärm till pärm. …” Anna Eklöv Rosander, BTJ.
