The Glass Children series by Kristina Ohlsson is a departure from her adult crime fiction. The first book, published in 2013, follows twelve-year-old Billie, who is forced to move to a small Swedish town when her mother buys a run-down house. Inside the house, Billie finds two small glass figurines and begins to suspect that the previous tenants left behind more than old furniture. The neighbors clearly know something they are not willing to share.

The Silver Boy (2014) continues Billie’s story as she digs further into the mysteries surrounding her new home. The series won the Swedish Radio Children’s Novel of the Year award, and rights have been sold across Europe. Ohlsson brings the same careful plotting she uses in her crime novels to a younger audience, with enough genuine unease to keep readers turning pages.
