Norsk Barneblad; Norsk Barneblad med Juletre #17-18/2004

In this festive 2004 double issue of *Norsk Barneblad med Juletre*, Håkon Aasnes crafts a lighthearted yet subtly layered story centered on childhood adventures and the tangled emotions of growing up. Ralle plans a daring jump from Skagelandsbrua, while Morgan attempts a bold bike leap over Svartjuvet—each challenge mirroring the larger, more complicated leaps in their lives. With Annika’s father staying at Morgonsol, a rehab retreat, and Morgan navigating a new relationship with Annika, the story quietly explores how young people try to make sense of adult choices, all under the quiet glow of the holiday season.
