The Robberson Family and the Lady With the Feather Boa

Anders Sparring & Per Gustavsson

The sixth book in the series about the popular thieving family!
When the Robberson family is going to repaint their kitchen, Mom Fia mistakenly steals the wrong color, because her flashlight goes out just as she’s broken into the paint store. (Just try it yourself, choosing the right color in the dark!). Now the family needs a new painting to cover up the ketchup-colored kitchen, and a coup against the city’s art museum is soon in the making. Poor Ture gets a tummy ache just thinking about it, and decides to paint his own artwork, so that mom and dad don’t have to commit crimes all the time. What can go wrong? Well, just about everything!

With drastic humor and full-color illustrations, the books about the popular family of robbers are the perfect bridge between picture and chapter book, for age 6–9. The series has been translated to German, Dutch, Danish, Estonian, Czech, Latvian, Finnish, Italian, Norwegian and Polish, and also been adapted for the screen.

Press voices
"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

The Jury’s praise:

“Ingenious, well written and with wonderful illustrations. We enjoy stories where we get to both giggle and nod thoughtfully. One can’t help but love the reluctant con artist who tries to do everything right despite his thieving family. No wonder the books are popular with both children and critics alike and have reached far beyond Sweden’s borders. Recently, we have also been able to follow Ture and his family in a popular Christmas calendar on TV. This is a universe that is constantly expanding, and where we like to be. Criminally good!”
