Swing to the East – The Battle of Time

” Swing to the East is an action-packed adventure you can’t afford to miss!” Barnens bokklubb (Children´s book club)

Aina can’t believe her eyes. It’s the middle of the night and there in her grandfather’s rocking chair, swinging back and forth, sits a strange woman, staring at her. Suddenly she stops.“Aina, the one. We need your help.” 

This is the beginning of an adventure that will take Aina to the East, where she and her new friend, Elmi, are destined to stop the Master abusing the Windchimer – the clock that controls time not only in the East but in our world too. 

This particular summer in Dalsland is everything but normal. Dangers appear where least expected, and friends in strange guises. Aina, who’s normally afraid of almost everything, is faced with the toughest trials of her life and the prospect of losing all she holds dear.
