Ossians ovanliga nanny/ Ossian’s Unusual Nanny (2012)
‘Ossian,” whispered his little brother. “Do you think Petronella is a witch?”
Ossian thought about his and Samuel’s new nanny. He thought about how she made rain into sunshine, and the paintings come alive. He also thought about the kaleidoscope and about the bicycle basket that seemed to hold too much.
“No” he said. “Not a witch exactly. But …’

It’s actually hard to explain. But if you read this book you will understand exactly.

Samuels sällsamma kalender/ Samuel’s Strange Calendar (2013)
‘When Samuel turned around Ossian had sat up straight on the rocking chair. He looked horrified. The rocking chair rocked. On its own! Samuel remembered what Petronella had said when Ossian was given the rocking chair. “Try opening the window before you sit on it.”
The rocking chair rocked across the floor towards Samuel. The Raspberry bird fluttered around and Samuel hopped after it. Then the rocking chair sped up and lifted. Yes, it actually lifted from the floor. It flew. Up in the air and through the opened window.’

The rocking chair and the strange calendar that Samuel and Ossian had been given by their nanny Petronella, leads them straight into thr world of magic.

Mikaels märkvärdiga resa/ Michael’s Wondrous Journey (2015)
Mom finally has time to go with Samuel and Ossian to swimming lessons. But when she discovers that the swim teacher is a real mermaid, she gets a shock and turns into an odd creature – a hedgehog troll with blue fur. To save her, a journey to the world of magic begins. The whole family sail away on the Sea of Floating Islands where hopefully help will be found.
