At Home with the Amarant Family

Elin Ruuth & Johanna Magoria

“Change schools” is at the top of Neo’s wish list. For weeks he has been nagging his parents to let him go to third grade abroad, together with his best friend Poppel Amarant. But when the long-awaited ninth birthday is over and the last present has been opened, Neo’s parents still say no.

Guess if Neo is surprised when the Amarant children start at his school instead! Now a whole new life begins for Poppel, Mistel, Thistel and little Hassel. But not everyone welcomes the change.

At Home with the Amarant Family – the third book in the Amarant trilogy – is a funny, reflective, and absolutely wonderful chapter book about longing for home and finding it. A magical tale about old habits, new traditions and the art of taking care of each other.

Elin Ruuth and Johanna Magoria share their love for subtle absurdities and dark humour, and work carefully with details in both text and image, atmospheres, and depth.
