Hilda Bumblevik’s life is turned upside down when a sleazy man with bad intentions captures her mother’s heart. Instead of going on an awesome summer holiday they have to move to the town of Søderdal where Hilda soon notices that everything isn’t as it should be. Who is the pale man on the stairs outside the abandoned sanatorium? Why are the teachers at school so peculiar? And what is her stepfather Timian really hiding in the attic of their new house in Coffin Street?
Hilda Bumblevik and The People Who Disappeared is an impressive debut novel and coming-of-age-story, full of suspense, mystery, and humour.

Fredriksstad blad
Pageturner for young readers
(…) a very entertaining debut, and a gift for any school librarian or bookseller looking for new fodder to hungry readers. Gustavsen keeps the excitement high, and keeps the reader in the dark just long enough so they’ll keep wanting more. There’s never a dull moment.
FIVE/SIX STARS
BOK365.NO
Thrilling horror
It's a joy to read this book. Also for a grown-up! Gustavsen has a way with words and a linguistic excess that you can just sit back and enjoy. While the complications and mysteries pile up, Hilda opens up little pockets of air and humour with her absent-minded digressions.
Klassekampen
Confident thriller
The debut is characterised by warm humour, excitement and surprising horror.

For et univers av herlige personer. For et univers av humor, uhygge, spenning og dramatikk. For en debut. Forbered deg på å bite negler, flire og le. Hilda Humlevik får deg fort hekta.
Hilda Humlevik og folka som forsvant er perfekt fôr til hungrige bokslukere.
Gustavsen holder spenningen oppe, og lar leseren sitte på pinebenken akkurat lenge nok til at man bare vil ha mer. Det er aldri et kjedelig øyeblikk.
«Det er en glede å lese denne boka. Også for en voksen!»
«Hilda er venninnen alle lesere vil ønske at de hadde. Hun har en helt særegen, smått sarkastisk og klumsete-kul stemme som bærer hele boka. På en gullpute.»
Silje Bekeng-Flemmen, Klassekampen«Debuten kjennetegnes av lun humor, spenning og overraskende grøss.»
