Mom Is Busted

Daniel Sjölin & Klara Bartilsson

Karl Hygge is furious. During the night, someone has sabotaged his expensive logging machine and now he can’t cut down any trees! The police suspect that Sabertooth and Big Sister’s mom. But nothing is what it fi rst seems! Who’s the villain and who’s the hero? And does the mythological Giant Golden Beetle really exist?
A pine-forest smelling picture book drama about secrets and lies, crime and punishment – and what is really worth something in the end.
