Friendship, family, and escapades

Trille and Lena turn everyday life into a string of schemes, from trying to get a cow onto a boat to racing downhill with a chicken. Their comic misadventures share space with more difficult changes: Lena moves away, and Auntie Granny dies. Waffles offer a recurring link between the friends and family, while the story also considers how those close to Trille help him through loss and upheaval. The blend of outdoor antics and family experience gives the book both playful adventure and a focus on coping with change.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children aged 9–12 who enjoy stories about friendship and family
  • Readers interested in comic escapades and outdoor adventures
  • Young readers looking for a story that also touches on separation and loss

Book overview

Lena is Trille's best friend, even if she is a girl. And there is never an ordinary day when you've got a best friend like Lena.

Hardly a day passes without Trille and Lena inventing some kind of adventure that often ends in trouble. Whether it's coaxing a cow onto a boat or sledding down the steepest and iciest hill with a chicken, there is always a thrill--and sometimes an injury--to be had. Trille loves to share everything with Lena, even Auntie Granny's waffles. But when Lena has to move away and Auntie Granny leaves the world, it sometimes seems like nothing will ever be right again. The warmth of friendship and the support of family suffuse this lightly illustrated novel, proving that when times are tough, a little taste of sweetness can make all the difference.
