Stina och Calle går i trean och idag har de friluftsdag i skolskogen. Enligt Calle bor det ett troll bland träden, ett troll som gärna äter upp barnens fikarester. Men Stina oroar sig över att trollet kanske äter andra saker också... Stinas katt Busan har följt med dem dit, och istället för att hålla sig nära Calle och Stina springer hon raka vägen in i skogen. Vilken tur att Calle är klädd som en riktig agent och inte är ett dugg rädd för troll!Helena Unée (1979-) är en svensk författare från Västerbotten.

Calle har en snäll speciallärare som kallas speciella Stella. Hon har en blå tuppkam och är världens roligaste. Hon brukar hjälpa Calle i vissa ämnen, men nu säger Calle att hennes hjälp inte räcker... Han menar att han måste börja på en skola uppe på Blåkullen, där alla häxorna bor! Stina är orolig över att han kanske aldrig kommer tillbaka igen. Hur ska det gå?Helena Unée (1979-) är en svensk författare från Västerbotten.

Stina och Calle är ihop. De går tillsammans i klass 3B, den bästa och roligaste klassen som finns. Idag ska de till kyrkan, och Calle är övertygad om att det bor en vampyr där. Magister Bark har svårt att tro på Calle, men inte prästen. Prästen föreslår att hela klassen ska gå ner i de underjordiska gångarna under kyrkan och leta efter den törstiga vampyren. Plötsligt försvinner Calle. Var är han? Tänk om vampyren har tagit honom?Helena Unée (1979-) är en svensk författare från Västerbotten.

Stina är lyckligt lottad. Hon är ihop med Calle och han är världens bästa kille. De går inte i samma klass, men ibland har de idrott ändå tillsammans. Idag är en sådan dag. Dagen till ära ger Calle Stina ett par speciella solglasögon och en tigerdräkt. Med solglasögonen kan man se ufona som flyger omkring uppe i himlen. Tigerdräkten ska skrämma bort rymdvarelserna. Just idag vill Calles nya lärare Dag Lag att de ska hoppa höjdhopp. Men Calle varnar de andra eleverna att inte hoppa för högt, för då kanske rymdvarelserna tar med dem upp i rymden.

Horisonten og sådan noget er en eventyrlig fortælling om krig, sorg, kærlighed og mirakler. Det er historien om Noura, som flygter fra det hjemland, der er besat af ondskaben, og som siden møder Daimi, der hjælper hende med at finde modet til at tage tilbage og redde sin lillebror. Noura betyder lys. Men mørke er det eneste, Noura kan huske. Hvorfor har hun sejlet omkring i en mystisk ubåd? Og hvor kommer hun mon fra? Da Noura møder Daimi, begynder hun at huske. Noura og Daimi rejser af sted mod horisonten og savnet og magien: De leder efter deres egen lyd, de leder efter mod. Men vil det virkelig være nok, når de står over for grusomheden selv? Bogen er gennemillustreret af Lilian Brøgger.
