The Robberson Family and the Curse of the Egyptian Cat

Anders Sparring & Per Gustavsson

The fifth book about the thieving family is here!

What happens if you, by accident, happen to break an egyptian cat statue made of plaster? Well, you draw a curse upon yourself.
This is what happens to CriminEllen and Ture Robberson. Ture, who cannot even steal the smallest pin, slowly starts lying and stealing, and his sister is turning honourable! To restore the order they have to solve the mystery and break the curse, the same curse that over a hundred years before turned their ancestor, master burglar Palle Robberson, so honorable that he became a cop!

This is the fourth book about the popular family of robbers. With drastic humour and colorful images, this is the perfect bridge between picture and chapter book, for age 6-9.

“You love the Robberson family from the first page – especially the decent Ture, who always gets involved in crimes without meaning to. A very funny and exciting book – perfect for early readers, but also for reading aloud. With lots of colourful illustrations that add an extra dose of humour to the story.” NDR Mikado Redaktion

“A particularly enjoyable read-aloud or early reader book, illustrated in colour throughout.” Wetterauer Zeitung, Gießener Allgemeine, Alsfelder Allgemeine

"The fifth book about the Robberson family is finally here! Anders Sparring produces suspense and humor yet again...this time the size, placement, and purpose of the illustrations are more varied, and the [authors'] dedication to awakening sympathy for the characters is evident...it's obvious that the creative duo have found a cast that will sustain many adventures.... I hope they can steal some time to write the next..." - Martin Hellström, Dagens Nyheter
