During the breaks, Thorvin can hear the sea roaring. »The best thing about our school is that there are not so many of us«. That’s why the first graders like him and Tilde learn together with older children. Everyone knows and helps each other. To save money, the small school on the Norwegian coast is closed, Thorvin and Tilde have to change. The change frightens them. New ways, new rooms, new faces, but soon also many new friends – until the next closure. »Corona is no fun.«
