From critically acclaimed and bestselling Norwegian author Ida Tufte Michelsen, comes another gorgeous middle-grade adventure for fans of Danny, the Champion of the World and The White Lotus. Finn fem feil is a story about a young boy beginning to detach from his parents’ views of the world. It’s also about wealth, its effects on us, and how our sense of morality can change in the face of both ambition and crisis.
Finn, a twelve-year-old boy growing up in a rich neighborhood in Oslo, lives a life of luxury in a home with more floors than family members, where socks are never washed as they are only worn once.
Until strange things begin to happen in the neighborhood. Animals are found dead in the nearby forest. The residents of Heaven Road are worried, but not Finn, he isn’t afraid of anything.
However, Finn’s carefree life changes when the police arrive at his house one afternoon; his father, whom Finn loves dearly, is arrested, and the family’s credit cards stop working.
Determined to save his father and prevent his family’s social and financial ruin, Finn embarks on a dangerous journey through city streets and social classes. This quest will lead him to discover the truth behind the mysterious deaths of innocent animals, but also challenge everything he thought he knew about the world around him.
