Henna and Gala, two inseparable sisters, have grown up in a land where the sun never sets - literally.
Together with their friends, they set out on an expedition to the end of the world.
Many, many adventures later, the intrepid explorers find their goal - and discover that their homeworld is much larger than they ever imagined...
Twists and surprises abound in this tall tale for readers of all ages. TERRA HEXA is a complete 70,000-word novel. The sequel TERRA HEXA II was released by Wela (Sweden) in June 2006.
THE CRITICS RAVE:
Robert Andersson, in the Swedish magazine MITRANIA:
(...) "The beginning of the book consists of preparations for the expedition, and is happy-go-lucky, and perhaps not as thrilling as one would have wanted.
However, then TERRA HEXA evolves into a brilliant adventure novel which entertains those who have become blase. One almost thinks of Jules Verne." (...)
Pelle Magnusson, DAST Magazine #1/2005:
"This is said to be a fantasy novel for young people, but the fact is it works just as well to read it as a book for adults."
Lena Kjersen Edman, for Bibliotekstjanst(The Swedish Library Service):
(...) "The book's protagonists, the sisters Henna and Gala, Uncle Ingo and the brothers Mick and Rydel, have names which sound un-Swedish, and one senses that the author wants to reach an international market. It would not surprise me if he succeeds." (...)
"It (TERRA HEXA) is thoroughly thrilling, without being too scary for sensitive young readers."
Hilda Ekstedt (13 years old), for the Swedish magazine ICA-KURIREN:
(...) "The story is good and everything hangs together in a skillful way, it feels unreal in places though. But it is still a thrilling and good fantasy tale."
Tobias Andersson in the Swedish review blog Bokbloggen:
(...) "Terra Hexa never feels stagnant; things keep happening all the time and if you tend to get bored by long-winded descriptions, then this is the book for you."
