Join Kirsten Boie in the countryside and dive into adventure: Twelve-year-old Martha and her younger brothers, Mats and Mikkel, have to spend their holidays with their grandmother in the countryside. And this grandmother is a bit strange: she lives alone in a secluded house, sells homemade jam, has no telephone, and certainly no internet. But she has chickens, a motorboat, and a rifle with which she chases away unwanted guests. When the idyllic situation is threatened, the city children and their grandmother stick together and realize what really matters in life. Kirsten Boie's new, heartwarming story about friendship and togetherness is a plea for more mindfulness in dealing with nature.
