All about Kerstin

Helena Hedlund & Katarina Strömgård

It’s summer holidays and Kerstin wants to do all the typical summer things, like camping, swimming, eating ice cream and playing with Gunnar. But then Kerstin’s cousin Bella, a teenager with pink hair, comes to visit. Everyone seems to love Bella, even Pip the cat, and Kerstin doesn’t know how to tell the adults about the secret candy night and the shattered windows in the forest. It’s as if Bella is crossing the line more and more, but if Kerstin would gossip, Bella would spill Kerstin’s secrets as well.

All about Kerstin is the sixth and final part of the award-winning series about Kerstin.
