The Kokotopia series is world history, but a bit silly world history: You learn about the Middle Ages, the Black Death and the witch-persecution while reading about Helena, who is accused of being a witch and sentenced to death, and Simon who tries to save her. Not to mention a crocodile who is so endlessly tired of meat food and should be given everything to get a pear.

It is Simon Stranger who has translated the series about the boys in the wooden house into Norwegian, and in his work with Helena and Simon and world history he has been inspired by the madness of Andy and Jill Griffiths' wooden house world. Still: These are the facts. And book two of the Kokotopia series is about pyramids, mummies and mazes.
