The Norwegian rights to the hottest book at the Bologna Book Fair went to Cappelen Damm.

Norwegian book publisher Cappelen Damm scored a coup when it signed up the book rights for children's novel The Emerald Atlas by John Stephens, which was the talk of the recent Bologna Book Fair. Not only did Cappelen Damm secure the Norwegian rights, it managed to get them before the book fair even started.
