  1. Soda Pop by Barbro Lindgren Illustrated by Lisen Adbåge This classic Swedish children’s novel is an absurd tale from a world where anything can happen TITLE INFORMATION Barbro Lindgren is a pioneering children’s author from Sweden. She has written over 100 books for readers of all ages, including novels, picture books, poetry and drama, and her work has been translated into over 30 languages. Her many awards include the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, the Nils Holgersson plaque and the Grand Prize of the Society for the Promotion of Literature. WHY I CHOSE THIS BOOK “This book is truly loved by all in Sweden, read and remembered by every Swedish child. I love its Milliganesque absurdity.” Julia Marshall, Publisher BLURB Soda Pop is an anarchic story full of playful nonsense in which the usual rules and prejudices do not exist. Soda Pop loves bright orange clothes and wears a tea cozy on his head. He has brought up his son Mazarin on sweet buns and love. Grandfather Dartanyong emerges from his woodshed every morning with a new identity, and Great-grandfather has moved into a tree, eats birdseed, and thinks he is a cuckoo. Soda Pop is a glorious mix of the absurdity of Spike Milligan with the boldness of Pippi Longstocking. Lisen Adbåge was born in Sweden in 1982 and published her first picture book in 2000. She has since won three major prizes for her children’s books. REvIEWS fOR SOda pOp “There’s a sublime sort of craziness to it that catches me unawares every time. Neither Soda Pop nor Mazarin nor Dartanyong speaks a single word of sense, but they will be my friends for life.” —Astrid Lindgren, author of Pippi Longstocking aBOUT gECKO pRESS Gecko Press, founded in 2005, is a New Zealand-based independent publisher of award-winning children’s books from around the world.
