Publisher's summary

Lena is Trille's best friend, even if she is a girl. And there is never an ordinary day when you've got a best friend like Lena.

Hardly a day passes without Trille and Lena inventing some kind of adventure that often ends in trouble. Whether it's coaxing a cow onto a boat or tobogganing down the steepest and iciest hill with a chicken, there is always a thrill - and sometimes an injury - to be had. Trille loves to share everything with Lena, even Auntie Granny's waffles, which make everything just perfect. But when Lena has to move away, and Auntie Granny leaves the world, it sometimes seems nothing will ever be right again.

The warmth of friendship and the support of family suffuses this novel, proving that when times are tough, a little taste of sweetness can make all the difference.

We love it

Our family listened to this together at night before bed and we often were laughing along with the stories or moved in our souls with compassion. It’s very cute!!

Short and Sweet

I wasnt sure what to expect when I saw that the book was very short in length. I enjoyed the short and sweet story about family, friendship and waffles!

charming childhood story.

As usual it took me a minute to appreciate the narrator; but once the story was over I wanted to know what else he has read. This story is a classic and mischievous tale of childhood. Really lovely to listen to.

Great narration!

I listened to this with my 11- and 8-year olds, and we all loved this book! I had started to read it myself, but the audiobook is so much better! We laughed and cried throughout—highly recommend!!

Love it 😍

I loved this book I was also sad when it ended but I found a sequel “Lena the sea and me” it was not as good as the original. Also I like how the kids are such opposites but there friendship is beautifully hilarious.
