Inge Maria tries not to feel sorry for herself, but she misses her mama. And on top of everything else, mischief seems to have a way of finding her no matter how hard she tries to be good ...
But could it be that a bit of mischief is exactly what Grandmother and the people of Bornholm need?
PRAISE
'Readers can only hope for more of [Inge Maria Jensen's] happy mischief and genuine heart' - Publishers Weekly STARRED review
'This heartwarming and richly engaging tale explores grief and the sustaining support of humor with an abundance of love' - Kirkus STARRED review
'A truly touching story' - School Library Journal
'This outstanding book is an experience that won't be forgotten. It's magical like a first visit to the circus, or the first sight of a shooting star. Influenced greatly by the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen, Nannestad's prose is daring and funny, exhilarating and deeply moving, with a unique writing style and an impressive use of language. Highly recommended' - Kids' Book Review
