Vida vagabond is shark’s food

Vida vagabond blir haimat

What do you do when your parents kidnap you and cart you off to yet another “wonderful” holiday in exotic surroundings? Vida really has no desire to leave school and her best friend Filip to travel to the Dominican Republic, but as she has grown out of running away from home, she has no other choice than to tag along to sandy beaches and coconuts. Luckily, daddy has promised her an opportunity to swim with sharks! But what if daddy fails to keep his promise? Or if Vida faints in the shark pool? And … what if she suddenly gets much closer to a shark than she had intended …?
Marita Liabø makes her debut as a children’s book author with a hysterically funny read aloud book that will give children between 6 and 10 years of age – and their parents – plenty to identify with.
