Publisher Description
In a charming sequel to Adventures with Waffles, Trille and Lena navigate the rough waters of friendship when a new soccer coach and a new girl in school disrupt their seaside escapades. Trille and Lena may be getting older, but they still find everyday adventure—and trouble—in their coastal village, including sinking every raft they build, getting little sisters stuck up flag poles, and attending those dreaded music lessons. But that’s not all. The arrival of a less-than-encouraging new soccer coach is putting twelve-year-old Lena's goalkeeping career in doubt. And Trille is wondering how to impress the girl who has just joined his class. As the best friends battle the elements and their own emotions, one thing is for sure: they're not giving up, not if Lena has anything to do with it! In Maria Parr’s follow-up to Adventures with Waffles, the acclaimed author returns to Mathildewick Cove with a rib-tickling story of growing up.
Customer Reviews
A Norwegian book and a great coming of age story.
I did not find this book quite as good as the first book with Lena and Trille. I was expecting more of the same crazy adventures. While these two still have great adventures this is more of a coming of age story. They have grown up and are finding where they fit in this crazy world. Trille has his first crush. Likewise Lena a d Trille are trying to see how best friends in the middle school world. I am still glad that we read this story it was just different than the first book. We will be reading more books for this author that have been translated because this author is form Norway. My family and I loved our glimpse into the Norway and highly recommend this book.
