Me and the Robbersons
By Siri Kolu (Translated by Ruth Urbom)
 
Hold onto your sweets—there are bandits about! Maisie was expecting a boring summer holiday, but her life takes a wild turn when she is snatched by the Robbersons, a madcap family of bandits with a serious sugar craving. Life on the open road is the high-octane adventure Maisie has always dreamed of, and she’s soon a vital member of the gang. But with the police and her parents closing in, Maisie realises she isn't quite ready to be "rescued" yet. This award-winning, hilarious tale is a fresh and fun exploration of what it means to truly escape.
