When Mischief Came to Town

by Katrina Nannestad

Book Overview

In the tradition of ANNE OF GREEN GABLES and PIPPI LONGSTOCKING comes a heart-warming novel about love, family, grief, joy and the power of laughter and imagination. When Inge Maria arrives on the tiny island of Bornholm in Denmark to live with her grandmother, she's not sure what to expect. Her grandmother is stern, the people on the island are strange, and children are supposed to be seen and not heard. But no matter how hard Inge tries to be good, mischief has a way of finding her. Could it be that a bit of mischief is exactly what Grandmother and the people of Bornholm need?

Customer Reviews

One of the most delightful books out there with depth.

I loved the character development, the depth of emotion on a very sensitive topic ( death of a parent) and the relationship that forms between Inge Marie and her grandmother. There are lovely animal personalities as well. It’s a must read!
