Bella the Motor-Cross Gal (2023)

Dear reader! Who would have thought that motor-cross would be the answer to all our problems? Whether it’s Thor’s nonsense, Bella’s TERRIBLE trouble or that Dad CAN’T SEEM TO STOP performing love poems about … well, mum’s body? It all gets better when you put on your helmet and googles and give it your all. And whose idea was this motor-cross-craze? Mine! Stella Erlings, or, well, Siggi and Bella’s. OMG just read it yourself. Stella

The Stella‘s Bonkers Family Series has earned its place among Iceland‘s most popular children’s books. Each of the books has won Iceland’s Children’s Choice Book Award and the first, My Bonkers Mum!, also won the Icelandic Literary Prize. The book was adapted into a popular stage play, and the audience — just like the other Stella fans around Iceland — cheered for more. And now they have yet another story.

Nominated for the 2024 Children’s Choice Book Prize (chosen by children in all libraries in Iceland)
