The Expedition

Tuvalisa Rangström & Klara Bartilsson

In The Expedition, a small group of bold and curious explorers embark on a journey towards a world filled with obscure mysteries and beautiful landscapes. They step on the gangplank and wave goodbye, then they are immersed by an odd darkness. Our protagonist Tusseson documents everything that happens in his logbook.

The daring inner journey is led by transparent guides who take the expedition crew deeper and deeper into the unknown. They travel by boat across the Stomach’s Stormy Sea, paddle through the Small Intestine’s Emerald
Green Canals, camp at the Lungs (despite all the wind!), climb the Muscle Mountains, are captivated by the roar of the Heart’s Deep Caves, escape through the Nerve Forest and marvel at the night sky, Iris, reflected in the Pacific Tear Channel.

At the end of the journey, it’s only Tusseson left, the others have all returned home for various reasons: broken bones, fever, homesickness… But Tusseson won’t give up until he finds the Mysterious Meadows of the Brain

Press voices

“There is a dream like shimmer over the whole body-expedition (…) The expedition is a surprising and suspenseful investigation of the body, that can be read multiple times. The story is cleverly constructed, and the flow of pictures is fascinating.”  Jonna Fries, Smålandsposten

“A fascinating trip through the body that doesn’t look like anybody else.” Barnens boktips
