Nan, Thumb and the Rescue Expedition

Moni Nilsson & Anna Fiske

The series about Nan – the martial art fighting, adventure-seeking, motorcycle-driving, and all together wild and wise grandmother – is created by two of the big names on the Scandinavian children’s book scene, author Moni Nilsson and illustrator Anna Fiske. In each book, Nan takes the children on fantastic adventures: monster hunts in the woods, detective expeditions in the city, and in the third book Nan helps Rose looking for a new family! Nan is more like a friend than a grandmother, even if she’s a bit embarrassing sometimes.

With the fourth and final title, Nan, Thumb and the Rescue Expedition, the series is completed. But in this book, it seems like Nan has completely forgotten about her grandchildren! All she does is play computer games. Have green monster ticks crawled into her brain? Thumb and his cousins decide to take matters into their own hands and save Nan and the summer. This leads to an unforgettable adventure that involves kidnapping, growling grizzly bears, and a deserted island.
