The Blue Light series targets children between the ages of 9 and 12, and consists of nine volumes so far. It addresses current topics that concern schoolchildren at this age, such as the spread of images on social media as well as other contemporary challenges where we adults often feel we are lacking.
The Blue Light series is one of Norways bestselling series for children in this age group and author Hanne Kristin Rohde draws from her experience and knowledge from many years as an investigator on the police force in creating a compelling and believable universe.

Thirteen-year-old Astrid is the main character of the series. Together with her friend Yusuf, with whom she is secretly in love, they solve a variety of cases. The series takes place in Oslo. A high tempo interspersed with calmer moments makes the stories both engaging and exciting.
