The Lava Disaster or When Ester Was Home Alone

Ylva Karlsson & Katarina Strömgård

Ester dares to be at home alone. She is sure of that. When mom finally leaves, Ester and the Kangaroo can do exactly what they want. Have a picnic. Borrow the glass unicorn that only belongs to mom. But when the clock strikes 11:11 pm, four identical numbers, the floor turns to lava!
The furniture floats around like boats and one can only stand on the thresholds. Ester must save the cats, the unicorn, and her Kangaroo from this catastrophe, but how?
A funny and action-packed story about wanting to fend for yourself, a vivid imagination and about the fragile borderland of being both small and big.
Everyday realism infused with magic on a subject both children and adults can identify with. This is a free-standing sequel to The Dummy Adventure and The Crocodile Hunt by the August Prize-winning duo Ylva Karlsson and Katarina Strömgård.
