The Pinchers and the Eye of the Parrot

Anders Sparring & Per Gustavsson

The eighth book about the popular thieving family!

Funny chapter book crime series about a well-behaved child who doesn’t fit in to his family of criminals. Theo is good at most things. He can almost count to a thousand, knows several French words, and can operate the washing machine. But he can’t lie or steal. “You must try harder,” says his mother sternly. Because Theo’s family, the Pincher Family, love to steal things. It’s what they are born for!

A mix of adventure, silliness, and everyday family life, and with bright and funny illustrations, this is a perfect chapter book for beginning and reluctant readers.

The series has been translated to German, Dutch, Danish, Estonian, Czech, Latvian, Finnish, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, and English. The TV series about the family, “A (dis)Honest Christmas with the Pinchers”, was broadcast in December 2021 on SVT, Sweden’s public service television, and a feature film premiered in movie theaters in December 2023

The books have sold over 300,000 copies in Sweden!

 

“The books about Family Robberson are a clever mix of adventure, silly occurrences, family conflicts, and regular everyday life – and among the best children’s literature we have right now.” Dagens Nyheter
