Eddie (book series) facts for kids

The Eddie series (in Swedish, Eddieserien) is a popular collection of books. They were written by Viveca Lärn, a famous Swedish author. The stories are all about a young boy named Eddie, who is in early primary school.

These books were first published between 1991 and 2001. The Eddie series is a special kind of series called a spin-off. This means it came from another book series called the Mimmi series. The stories in the Eddie books happen in the same world as Mimmi's adventures. Eddie is also the brother of Mimmi's friend, Anders.

In these books, the story is told from a third-person perspective. This means a narrator tells you what Eddie does and thinks, instead of Eddie telling the story himself.

From Books to TV: The Christmas Calendar

In 1994, the Eddie books became a TV show! It was called Håll huvudet kallt, which means "Keep a Cool Head".

A Christmas calendar is a TV series that has one episode each day in December, leading up to Christmas.
