Overview of Adventures with Waffles

Maria Parr’s Adventures with Waffles chronicles a year in the life of best friends Trille and Lena as they navigate the adventures and heartbreaks of childhood. From celebrating the Midsummer holiday to relying on their imagination to fill long afternoons with Grandpa, Trille and Lena can count on being together. That is, until Lena’s mom meets someone new and life suddenly becomes a little less certain than it has always been. Set in a small Norwegian town, this one is filled with hair-raising hijinx, an endearing friendship, and Auntie Granny’s waffles.
